I’ve just watched the Far Cry movie and I have to say that it wasn’t as bad as some people make out. In fact it’s pretty good. Most people just see that it’s made by Uwe Boll and think it’s going to be rubbish without even watching it just because quite a lot of Uwe Bolls movies are exceptionally dire (Postal anyone?). So what if it doesn’t stick excatly to the script of the game? What movie based on a computer game ever has? And if it had what would be the point in watching it as you’d know the story from the game.
OK I’ll admit the CGI of the helicopter crashing could of been better but I have seen worse. Other than that I was quite impressed. The acting is pretty good all round and the story not only makes sense and keeps to the rough plot of the game but it also doesn’t slow down to the point you’re bored.
So if you’re after a movie that doesn’t require to much brain power then give Far Cry a go.
To all the people on IMDB who rated it low what planet are you on or do yo ujust see the Uwe Boll name and automatically give it a low rating without actually watching it?
