I’ve seen this movie, Since I play the RPG, I am disappointed in the fact that it has hardly anything to do with the game, except for a few names. If I seprerate it from the game, which I did and lowered my expectations, it was a decent film.
but…
BUT…
Decent for a Sci-Fi channel film. I put it up there with the films like Dog Soilders and Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King. It does have that Sky Captian look though with the green screen background.
I’ve heard alot of good and bad comments about this movie. I’ll definitely be checking if out. My expectations are not very high though.
