FarCry The Movie

Post » Thu Jan 01, 2009 1:02 am

OK so no one ever told me this even existed, but last night here in the UK it was shown on Sky premier, and will be run again tonight, anybody seen this, what did you think to Jack, and Krieger, the plot was ok more or less, and the Val character was only a reporter

Didnt see any Trygens but i only saw the last 20 mins, and of course the end listings, Crytek and the Yerli Bothers all got a mention, I think somewhere someone asked if Crysis had any movie potential, well heres a starting point, lol.

Anybody else seen this movie its been out a while now? and what did you think to it?

its only good for passing time on tv when ure bored. i watched it the 2nd time on sky and they story is so lightweight - by the time it nears end you wonder when something important is gonna happen!. its not truely bad, but it's not that good either. a let down, like almost all game to films.

Gave this Movie a Second chance last night, went to bed and set the TV to auto off, 90mins.
I managed to stay awake long enough to get to the part where i had seen from before, and that was a task staying awake so long.
Yup, it just plain bored me to sleep, the Jack character moved quite well, but looked like a pvssy, only the shirt gave him away, lol.

Rest of the cast were pretty dull as was the plot, oh apart from,
"General ( Bald ) Hammond" of Texas, Stargate SG1, with his bit part i got an extra 10 mins outa the Movie.

It really needed some fine CG in there . :-)

Expect a total copy of the far cry game with Hollywood quality, and you will no doubt be disappointed. Expect nothing, enjoy it. It's not the best movie ever, but it has its moments and overall is enjoyable.

As a huge FarCry Fan, it would be hard to deny owning it.

If you want a really bad plot line with even worse acting then it is the movie for you. It has the makings of a cheap porm but none of the nudity.

Where they went right was location, their are a couple of cinematic shots where you can see all the pieces, assets, and geometries from the game.

Jack Carver is a Beast. The actor they got to play him looks like he could kill people by sneezing in the other room. The saving grace for the film was actually most, if not all of the women in it are medium to very good looking. Well that is, if you like the Lara type... I personally do.

Don't expect much if you watch it though. It is mildly entertaining if you have a ton of people over and you Roast everything they could have made better. So many laughs. In the states, a bunch of us Mappers Netflixed it and all watched it in a Live Party. Our commentary was hilarious!

@neo
It fitted in perfectly with my bedtime routine, bed , lights out , tv on timer, cheap ass low budget movie, and to my suprize I was awake longer than usual.

Over two nights I saw the whole movie, First thing that caught my eye was Jacks shirt, perfect. Second I knew who Val was right away, but as a reporter, Are you **** me. she was CIA TOTTY, and would have been better cast as such, kept waiting for the bit where she nips under the falls for a quick shower , no luck-absolutely no nudity, so that was dissapointing, lol.

Jack was putting me to sleep apart from the shirt, until he went ape as they destroyed his boat, then yea, he was Jack Carver, thinking that having "General ( bald ) Hammond " of Texas, in there and nudity, wouldnt have worked at all lol.

What about that crazy ass cowboy that was replaced by the woman, nice choice far better on the eye, But what would have made the movie work more for me would have been some CG, If only a few of the small Trygens could have put in an appearence, now that would have been better.

Anyone see DOOM, silly q, I know, but like it or not, CG made good on the movie in my opinion, even dwain looked cooler than usual. lol.
Lets see where this goes eh, mybe a few more people have seen it, :-)
