First Off. . .this is an Uwe Boll Production, which places it in a category all its own.
Having said that-- for a straight to DVD or Grade B- Late night Mad Scientist / Monster romp, it's actually not. . .all that Bad.
It's not. . .all that Good either, but it will fill the late hour and a half if you are not yet ready to hit the sack and just wanna watch some low-grade action.
Those of you who are avid FarCry players. . .Don't. Just Don't. Play the game, instead. If you DO watch this, don't go cursing or crying to anyone, because you were warned. The Game was far more dark and intense than this movie could ever be.
For everyone else, it can be a chuckle-- even though it is NOT a Comedy or a Spoof. But I SWEAR that Udo Keir (Dr. Kreiger) couldn't help himself because he was delivering some ringing one-liners with a deadpan face that was DARING the viewer to laugh.
The other actors can be forgiven their emotive trespasses because this is a Mad Scientist / Monster Movie. No-one expects a Oscar nomination out of this, so don't hold it against them. Be fair. Besides, the wooden, cardboard, plastic, ersatz performances of the Lead characters could be EXACTLY what Uwe wanted.
Remember: This Man Sees the Cinematic world through a different lens than the rest of us Mortals. He is an Artiste!!!
And several reviewers have commented rather 'objectively' on the 'romantic liaison' that both Viewers AND Actors were subjected to. Again: This is Uwe Boll. Romantic scenes are not 'Created' in Uwe's movies; they just happen. They happen without reason, without NEED for reason, like a rock dropped in a puddle, like a stinkbomb exploding in a bowl of jello. . .BOOM! Romantic moment NOW-- Kiss & Fumble and now we're done, on to the next page. . .And in Uwe's favor, upon reflection I note that all the weird Romantic Uwe Moments in all his movies are surprisingly CHASTE. I'm not gonna psycho-analyze that.
So like I said, got nothing else to watch on a late Saturday night, but don't wanna hit the sack yet? Slip this DVD in and let your brain lay back and doze.
This movie is Totally Girlfriend Friendly. She won't even care.
