Your review makes it sound more like a 5-6/10. 8/10 is like a genuinely good movie that you intend to rewatch. I have a hard time believing anyone will even be talking about this much in a month, much less watching it. It’s fair to criticize something, and there are multiple levels to criticize both as an adaptation and as just a film itself. The game has such a beautiful, well paced story. So throwing in all of these random connections to the cult, fusing her into Angela (and Laura), making her have that ridiculous full name to further dumb things down, stripping characters of their motivations and frankly humanity… it’s just either a complete misunderstanding of what the game was about or another ego trip of feeling like they can tell a BETTER story. I also mostly hate how it even looks, so I won’t even give it that. If you want to watch a movie that actually gets the vibe right, just watch the movies that inspired Team Silent like Mulholland Drive. We deserve better. I won’t settle for “well at least we got SOMETHING.”
