Alone in the crap, sorry, in the dark. The .. movie?

I've just watched Alone in the dark, movie based on the homonym video game. The game was a classic in the era of ancient computers (spectrum and Friends), but the movie has nothing to make it worth the time, thus another 93 minutes of my precious life wasted.

The story is totally meaningless, well, this is shared with the video game. The acting is horrendous, totally dull characters. Christian Slater was good in The name of the rose, but is still using that lost puppy look, for every kind of feeling, which doesn´t work with terror o puzzlement, I´m sure you know what I mean. The music, ohhh the music. Music is meant to emphasize parts of a movie, making it more intense. Well in this movie music comes and goes, distracting and interrupting action, which may not be that bad. It´s used in the wrong place, and the selection doesn´t match the situations at all. Last, but not least, the special effects, well, umm, they really seem to have been created using the same kind of computers that made the videogame famous. If the designer of Alien is making money with the rights, this movie has given him enough for next Christmas presents. I presume they bought ONE kind of Alien monster, and used it once, and again, and again, .......

I like videogames and I like movies, but the combinations isn´t really working out. Games can be simple, because you are the main character, and that felling compensate the lack of depth or excessive simplicity, but in a movie you are only an spectator, and more have to be given to take you into the movie.

Bye.
