Had no idea what this was when i came across it on lovefilm player while looking for a little late night horror. Unaware that it was a video game movie and that it was, well, not very good.
Firstly it stars Christian Slater, an actor ive admired ever since i saw the questionable Gleaming The Cube, but at the time skateboarding was my sport of choice. And usually seeing Slaters name on the cast list will warrant a watch from me, even though they havent all been gold like Gleaming The Cube!
But it wasnt long before i was regretting my decision to as i saw a support in this came in the form of Tara Reid!! And after watching this i am convinced that she is a great atcress, cause lets be honest she must have to work really hard to be this bad.
The basic story is Slater, a paranormal investigator and former goverment operative, is trying to uncover an event that happened to him and others while in an orphanage, all to the back drop of a scientist who has done experiments on these children using knowledge from an ancient civilisation who were extremely advanced and mysteriously disappeared.........................
Oh sorry drifted off to my happy place there, yes that is the plot, and there is CGI monsters trying to take over too.
Stefen Dorff also makes an appearance as Slaters opposite and a bit of an antogonist untill they have to put ther differences aside to fight the ultimate evil as ........................................
Woah drifted off again, i do apologise!!
This movie should be among those SyFy movies being churned out the past few years and amung them would be ok but i takes itself way too seriously and tries to punch way above its weight.
Slater phones in his performance but even that elevates him far above the rest of the cast. Tara Reid is so bad its laughable, the GGI is terrible and the plot is so ridiculous that it stops being important.
I really cant recommend this for anything other than ridicule.
1/10
