    This film has perhaps the most well-cast video-game movie ever. Unfortunately, the script, performances or dialogues cannot keep pace.

  • For the video game fans, this may be just what the doctor ordered, but for cinema lovers, it’s just another convert (like ‘Mortal Kombat’, ‘Dungeons And Dragons’ and whole lot of other illegitimate spawns) that doesn’t quite work!

  • Even though it’s nice that they attempted to try and break the curse of video game movies, it still doesn’t take away the fact that this is far from the best movie of 2016.

    While the gaming franchise has been ridiculously successful, the question here is: do those who spend their days tethered to their controllers and mouses really need a movie to gain the experience?

    Nope.
