What can I honestly say about this movie? It's entertaining for the most part. Alright, here's the god honest truth. I went into the movie expecting utter shit but I walked out amused. It's far from being a great movie, but it's definitely not a bad one. It's a decent action movie that takes ALOT of inspiration from The Mummy and Scorpion King movies. There's nothing too unique about this movie and it doesn't really put forth anything new to the table, but it's entertaining and that's all you can really ask for. The similarities are uncanny but what can you do about it. This is definitely also one of the best movies based on videogames ever made but i still prefer the Resident Evils over this, but I liked this more than I liked Silent Hill. One really good thing about the movie is that you can really see the videogame mechanics at work in a lot of the scenes. The wall running in there, the rewind feature for when you fuck up is there, and the acrobatic shit is present and accounted for. Jake Gyllenhaal does fine and so does Gemma Arterton. I loved Gemma Arterton in this movie, but I'm definitely biased cause i think she's just stunning. She made Clash of the Titans worth watching for me and she really helped this movie along just cause I loved looking at her the whole time.
