I'd say 99% of them are on par with Prince of Persia, crappy films but you don't get too pissed you wasted your time watching them as it's not all bad. Only 1% are completely unwatchable crap.

I thought Prince of Persia was medicore and generic, but my mom saw it on TV one time they were passing it. She was into the story and setting. Thought it was entertaining, and I really saw the appeal of the movie then. It didnt have to be some us gamers shit. It didnt go out of its way to force you to ask if its from some video game,

I liked Prince of Persia, although it was rather generic, although the big plot moments were predictable, especially if you played SoT. Just a simple adventurous romp, nothing offensive.

>>337318067
It's a shame it'll suck as I quite like the visual style they worked up for it. It doesn't scream Dreamworks-tier like every other non-Disney studio

Speaking of shitty movies, I liked Mario Bros. just for being as dumb and 'creative' as it was.

>>337317057

nah, there are tonnes of edgy scenes in Resident Evil and Tomb Raider films that just annoys the hell out of me coz they took it seriously

smug-faced, ego-filled scenes annoys me, the very reason people hate Bay's films or COD games

Prince of Persia is enjoyable for what it is

Anyway, there is something that bugs me today

What separates Far Cry to games like Just Cause?
> Far Cry is this edgy, ego-filled zero-content shit
> Just Cause is just as edgy but doesn't take itself seriously

I mean, something like Donnie Darko, Memento would work a decade ago.
But if anyone were to make anything similar to it nowadays, it will get shat upon hard.
> trying too hard, too self-aware, too edgy, muh pseudo-intellectual thought-provoking shit
> you know the creators want you to soak and bask in his ego, they expect praises from the audience

Look at Nolan, I'd say he peaked and ended his legacy on the Prestige.
> Inception and fucking Interstellar were straight up overrated memes the moment it came out.

So what do you do?
Instead of making this ego-filled, self-aware edgy pieces of shit, you make almost a parody out of it, make it 'fun', don't let it take it self seriously

Let's say you have a concept for a new edgy film;
> it's about AI / robots / cyborg in the future
> it's about time travel and shit

Right away it sounded shit and edgy as fuck, it just won't work
> Looper, Surrogates etc

But with good execution, and humour, and it doesn't take itself seriously, it can work
> Edge of Tomorrow is enjoyable kill me?

Execution is key - you can have the best writer, concept, 3deep5you story, twist, cast and crew.

But with shitty execution comes shitty film.

While edge of tomorrow was toned down fro mthe source material i wouldn't say it didn't take itself seriously

Cinematography would be extremely difficult to pull off, but a Half Life move would be cool.
>>
I feel like a mass effect movie or tv series could do ok. Especially if there was a focus on making them more like ME1 and just making it a love letter to 80s sci-fi. Even BETTER if it took place in the mass effect universe but had an original story and didn't follow the events of the game but rather just there being a first human spectre. Could even be named shepherd so long as reapers were left out of it.

10 Cloverfield Lane-like Fallout movie that sets in one of the vault experiments would be okay desu

10 Cloverfield Lane would have been completely perfect if the credits had rolled just 5 minutes sooner.

>>337324784
Have her drive away without anything happened but keep the rest of the ending with that thunder reveal and it would be much better

The aliens are tied with the first Cloverfield anon

Don't tell me you watched the movie without knowing what Cloverfield is
>>
>>337319415
In my opinion, Resident Evil was a near-perfect silly science-fiction-horror-action movie. The characters are so uninteresting that you can't tell them apart, the plot is on holiday, and Milla Jovovich kills a zombie with her thighs. What more could you possibly want?

the point was that the aliens are entirely unneeded, and only serve to connect the movie to the original cloverfield so they can put the name on the poster and get people to see it. it was a perfectly competent movie on its own without the addition of the "epic" action scene at the end, and in fact would have been better without it.

Undertale would not fucking work as a movie. There's too many parts and elements of Undertale that are so specific to gaming as a medium that pretty much 90% of this game would be completely lost in translation. It would be like adapting Earthbound, which is pretty much the same deal. Aka, impossible to put to film.

Spices exist to be mixed. It is only natural.
Ketchup doesn't need to be great alone, it's enough that it goes well with mustard and mayo.

Don't talk shit on RE cgi movies, they're way better than cinematic universe ones past the first film.
In fact some vidya movies should only be done in CGI, real actors will only hurt Warcraft for instance.

When videogames stop making money. If something is popular Hollywood will make a half ass movie out of it, created by people who have no respect for the source material.

If we're lucky then eventually they get to a point where they take it seriously and then the quality improves and they run it into the ground cranking out as many as they can as with the glut of superhero movies.
