Went to see this film last night, was a bit dubious before seeing it as it is a “film of the game” and it had some dubious reviews.
But I must say I loved the film, it was a good re-telling of the story of SH1 with some nice snippets from 2/3 thrown in. They changed the plot to work better in the film in a good way. And the way SH works there are many many stories anyway. I also liked the way they managed to remove all the book/notice reading you do in game by having the story run in two threads.
My favourite stuff though was the special effects, which they had gone old skewl on and resisted just CGIing everything. It was well worth it as the locations and creatures were stunning.
