Parasite Eve (1997)
4/10
letdown
22 October 2005
I originally bough this because of the (in hind-sight fairly loose) connection with the Playstation game. But it's much more based on the book that the game is a sequel to than the game itself. I found the plot line dull and execution of said story all the more unremarkable and mundane because of it. This film about killer mitochondria and the undying love of a scientist who has lost his true love rather slow (it drags a lot) when it isn't being just straight out confusing. The acting is good, but it was all for naught as the special effects are lacking and the story is tedious. A missed opportunity, as I'm not a fan of video game films, yet this film WOULD have been better if it were just that.

My Grade:D+

DVD Extras: Theatrical Trailer; and a trailer for "The Hypnotist" (which looks MUCH better than this film, i should've watched that instead)
