This is the very first time I have seen someone take a video game and do a good job of turning it into a movie. Excellently done. The critics I see carping about the lack of originality just don't get it. I saw one of them say something about zombies not as good as "Night of the Living Dead" and a train not as big as "Ghosts of Mars." Doesn't he get it? The zombies were pretty much exactly as they were the game -shambling, shuffling along until they are close enough to attack, and then diving in for that bite! The train, of course, was lifted pretty much exactly from the game. They weren't trying for a "Ghosts of Mars" type thing.
Milla was amazing. I read another review that claimed "Tomb Raider" would be considered a better movie because it had a higher babe factor. Well yes, Angelina Jolie is a babe, but guess what, so is Milla. And the story line was a heck of a lot better than "Tomb Raider." It had a point, was internally consistent, and a great setup for the start of the game.
In case you're unsure of my point, I heartily approve. Great job with the movie.
