Movies Inspired by the Gaming World (Pt.3)


Hello my friends and welcome back for the 3rd part of the "Movies Inspired by the Gaming World" article. If u thought thats i was pretty strict or mean judging the movies in the parts that preceded, u are totally right and im gonna be even meaner in those parts that are about to follow. So pay attention while i rub my hands laughing malevolently!

There are only a few adaptation attempts worth watching and unfortunately Bloodrayne isnt one of them! Actually is quite a laughable one! Kristanna Loken as the Dhampyr BloodRayne (half-human, half vampire) sets out to find her father Kagan (Ben Kingsley) to get revenge for raping her mother. Along the way she meets and joins with the leaders of the fortress of the vampire hunters, Vladimir (Michael Madsen) and Sebastian (Matthew Davis), who train her to fight Kagan. Meanwhile her human side falls in love with Sebastian etc. Well i remember that the first time i laid my eyes on the Bloodrayne game cover i was convinced that it was a killing combo. a fast tempo arcade action gameplay with a gothic leather dressed hot chick. Such a combo hardly fails especially if its nicely represented. I wish i could say the same about the movie. Uwe Boll once more proves how good he is in taking gems and turning them into stinky shit! Kristanna Loken's costumes were poorly made and they look quite fake and the same goes for almost everyone's clothes. The film set was so lame that only in low budget movies u can find. A weak twisted scenario, lame acting, low budget and Uwe Boll is th secret recipe for an awful movie and this one had all the ingredients.

Doom

Well, now about Doom. Something is wrong at the space research facility on Mars. Researching was ceased communication is failed and the few messages that manage to get through are quite disturbing. Space marines are sent to investigate the incident and they just cant imagine the horrific terror they are to face! With Karl Urban as John Grimm and Dwayne Johnson as Sarge and a bunch of interesting casting as well, Doom succeeds where other game-movies have failed! To be honest when i first rented the movie i wasnt sure about what i was gonna watch. U see there are not many good examples of games that became movies so i was a bit reluctant. But in the end Doom movie surpassed my expectations. And the reason is quite simple! It had all those features that a good game-movie have: 1) loyalty to the prototype source 2) a decent direction 3) very good action and even horror scenes 4) and FPS directed scenes!!! What else is there to ask?! Even though  Dwayne Johnson  was awarded as the worst actor nevertheless in general u wouldnt even notice his acting sipmly because that was not the point of the movie!

Silent Hill

Movie success. Or else Silent Hill!! Yes Silent Hill is one of the few attempts that managed to be one of the scariest movies ever staying true to the game that's based on, having an amazing direction and scenario and a very promising cast! Silent Hill is about a couple whose daughter suffers from sleepwalking. Her mother, Radha Mitchell, takes the decision to visit the town that her daughter dreams about (without telling her husband, Sean Bean). But there they find out that that town, SIlent Hill, is nothing but an ordinary welcoming place. An accident that happened in the netrance of town causes her daughter to dissappear. So Rose, her mother, begins desperately searching for her only to discover the cruelites that once took place there involving in a repulsive manner her daughter! Silent Hill's director did a terrifc job won 8 nomination awards! So, any wannabes directors out there u should take some really serious lessons from masters like Christophe Gans .
