Films on computer games.

Good day to everyone. This blog will be about films based on computer games. It so happened that to transfer the plot, meaning, gameplay features, characters, directors and screenwriters do not always succeed. Often, filmmakers disdain the original computer game, and insert a lot of their own into the film. But there are also good, but very rarely, high -quality adaptations of computer games. This blog will be bad, medium, very suitable and even excellent works that I will tell you now. As examples I will give shots from games and films.
Let’s start.

The first film in the game was released in 1993. They became a film adaptation of a popular video game “Super Mario Bros.”, which everyone played. Everyone knows these two brothers, even those who do not like or did not play arcades.

All the more sad that the film has nothing to do with the game except a few characters. On the other hand, the scriptwriters did not try to lick the plot from the game, showed their creative abilities and removed good comedic fiction.

Speaking from the plot in a nutshell, then the Mario brothers discovered the entrance to the parallel world in which people-people live. In this world, the evil dictator Lupo, who wants to seize the earth, is dominated. Mario and Luigi will have to save not only the inhabitants of the Earth, but also Princess Daisy. The whole film is a carved and steep trash that does not particularly need an explanation. But still, for the sake of the lip, it is worth watching this picture once. In what other film can you see a memorable monster.

In addition, this is the first experience of filmmakers in the film adaptation of games, which was included in the Guinness Book of Records.

Turning to the next film, I want to say right away that this game had two movie adaptation: 1994 and 2009. It will be about the very first, because the second turned out to be too bad and has practically nothing to do with this series of games. Well, okay, movie “Street Fighter”. -This is the film adaptation of the playing “Street Fighter II”, in which the main role was played by the hero of all the boys of the 80s Jean-Claude Van Damm, who played William Gail, one of the most significant characters.

Hero Van Lady with heroine Kylie Minogue and several characters of this fighting, such as Ryu and Chun Lee, went for a cruel and charismatic dictator Bayson, who decided to capture the whole world. As it should be for the Faiting genre, the plot there is only to justify the scammers, which in the film adaptation turned out to be good and high -quality. For the fights of the heroes to watch it is a pleasure.

A year later, a film adaptation of the game Mortal Kombat was released, which was a cut above the previous movie. Movie “Death Battle” 1995 turned out to be excellent, which cannot be said about the continuation of 1997.
The film adaptation of “MK”, behind the authorship of Paul Anerson, has gained great popularity both among gamers and spectators. Thanks to his efforts, Anderson did a lot, within the budget and then technologies available then, and to transfer the game story in a hundred minutes of screen time he succeeded.

An excellent game of actors who excellently got used to the role of the heroes of the game, and at the same time turned out to be recognizable (Li Kan, Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage, Sab-Ziro, Scorpio, Shao Kan), good special effects and battles, good music, and the plot that is interwoven with the first and second part of Mortal Kombat did not bite. This adaptation of video games is one of the best, over the past twenty -odd years.

Six years later, many finally saw the film adaptation of the significant and popular, in the gaming industry, the Tomb Raider game series. In 2001, the film was released “Lara Croft: Tomb of Tombs”, in which magnificent Angelina Jolie played the main role. She got used to a young and attractive archaeologist, whose adventures are interesting to watch, besides the creators tried to take into account many elements of the game.

But the impression was spoiled by the various gags: a parade of planets, strange phenomena and Illuminati. It was possible to do without them, and the film would win due to this. But despite the disadvantages, the adventures of the heroine Jolie liked to follow the audience, which led to the appearance of the sequel, which we will talk about a little later.

In 2002, the director and screenwriter Paul Anderson presented to the audience the film adaptation of the cult series of games “Resident Evil”, in which Mila Yovovich played the main role. Movie “Resident Evil” tells us about the girl Alice, who began to fight the revived dead.
Zombies appeared due to the fact that in the secret laboratory of Umbrella corporation, samples of the dangerous virus “T” were stolen, and the protection system, in order to avoid infection of the staff, locks all personnel, and kills people with accessible ways. After that, the heroine of Jovovich with a special detachment who should figure out what happened comes into business. And then zombies, mutants, difficult and painful solutions, deadly traps and full danger underground complex are waiting for them.

Despite the non -canonical plot and many inconsistencies with the game, the film liked the viewer that they showed fees (with a budget of 33 million.$, the picture collected more than 104 million.$) Thus, the “Ovor of Evil” has become a commercially successful computer game film. And after a couple of years, the second part was published, which will be discussed later.

In 2003, the continuation of the adventures of the archaeologist was published “Lara Croft Tender Tomb: Life Cradle”. Compared to the first part, Lara will visit many countries, from Greece and Kenia, ending with China with Hong Kong. Her task was the search for the legendary Pandora box, who wants to take possession of one head of Chinese triads. As always, Jolie perfectly played a sexual archaeologist who walks in short shorts or in a tight suit, in search of rare and expensive treasures.

The creators tried to use the adventures of the first four parts of the games as the basis of the adventure, but it turned out not even about the search for treasures and the solution of puzzles, but about shootouts with elements of James Bourn and fantasy. We can say that in the film there was no spirit of the first film and atmosphere of adventure, for which this series of games fell in love with this series. But despite this, the film has something to see.
The role of Lara Croft is one of Angelina Jolie’s most famous and popular works. In the second part, she received a fee of $ 12,000,000, and then said in an interview that she did not intend to act in the third part.

Two years later, after the first part, a continuation of the franchise about the girl Alice and the horde of zombie came out. Movie “The monastery of evil 2: Apocalypse”, For me personally, the most beloved. The second part became more interesting, thanks to the characters of the Resident Evil games (Jill Valentine, Carlos Oliver, Nikolai Zhukov, Dr. Sam Aizax, the legendary detachment s.T.A.P.WITH. and t.D. ), a realistic atmosphere of the advancing zombiepocalypse, new monsters, and almost literally repeating the gameplay of some scenes from the first parts of the games.

Grimers and scriptwriters worked as a layer. The monsters turned out to be terrible and truthful. What is the non -uzis with lizunes and zombies, from the sight of which it really becomes scary. And Jill Valentine, performed by Sienna Gillori, is simply incomparable and delightful.

The second part of film critics appreciated worse than the first film, but she still came to the audience. Well, starting from the third film, the franchise turned in the wrong direction, and only one name of the franchise “Abode of Evil” remained from films.

In 2005, one of the long -awaited films was released – the film adaptation of the legendary shooter “Doom”, in which the main roles were played by Dwayne Johnson and Karl Urban. The plot of the film is built on a strongly changed plot of the third part. A group of star paratroopers is planted on Mars and is trying to destroy dangerous genetically modified creatures. Fans of the game will find in the film a lot similar to the game: characters, weapons, monsters, even a scene from the eyes of the protagonist, very much resembles the gameplay “Doom 3”. For this it is worth watching a movie.

Director Andrzej Bartkovyak tried to make the film interesting and diverse: solid action, beautiful picture, good special effects familiar actors, recognizable characters and terrible monsters. It turned out well, albeit far from the original games.

2006 marked himself with the release of a solid film adaptation of the Great Horror of the Silent Hill Games series. The director Christopher Hans managed to transfer important components of the game to his creation. Movie “Silent Hill”. based on the history of the first two parts of the game, but at the same time the free interpretation of some events of the original. Despite this, the audience highly appreciated the picture, noting the visual effects and sappress, which every second of the tape is permeated.

Separately, I would like to note the picture, some scenes of the film that are very similar from games, and monsters created with love and such an attitude to details that you immediately begin to believe in them. It is worth noting the fact that almost all the monsters were played by real people who managed to accurately convey the broken plastic and reproduce terrible, strange, twitching movements. It is worth saying in advance that in 2012 there was a continuation, which I will mention.

In the same year, the Faiting “Dead of Alive” adaptation occurs. Movie “DOA: living or dead” tells us about the tournament in which the best fighters from all over the world take part. The main characters (American Reslech, Australian actress, a princes-ninja, and just a young girl who decided to take part for the first time) reached the final. For victory in it they give ten million dollars, but the organizers had other plans ..

Despite the many differences in the plot of games, the film turned out to be very funny, cool and dynamic. Yes, and many were not careful for the plot, because in the frame beautiful girls are fighting, shaking their chests and in some places they joke well.

In 2007, he marked himself with a film adaptation of one of the main Stals Excel “Hitman”, which was perhaps the most long -awaited and desirable. After all, almost everyone wanted to see quiet and beautiful murders, Stals and bald head of the protagonist in a strict suit. But they got a good action with a cranberry component and stupid evil Russians in hats, earflaps.

The protagonist acts noisily all Megaways-casino.uk the time, constantly enters the open battle and carries with him under the clothes of the saber (which is clearly not according to the canon of the franchise). Russia was shot in Sofia, which is noticeable by the right Russian inscriptions;The special forces of Russia are dressed in an incomprehensible and ridiculous costume, a la Dart Vader and scuba gear, the plot is stupid and meaningless (the murder of the President of Russia and the setup of the protagonist to them), and in general, the game remains in the film only St. Petersburg, Lysin with a barcode, a suit with a tie and pistols with a muffler with a muffler. Everything else is a continuous gag.

The next is the film adaptation of 2008 of a cult and significant action of the beginning of zero “Max Payne”. It was a passing adaptation of a computer game. Despite the same all the same snow-covered New York, the main character with a personal heavy loss, the Valkyrin drug and the beautiful Mona Sachs, which was played by Mila Kunis, the film turned out to be average. And all because, the director and screenwriters greatly changed the plot, added non -canonical weapons and changed some heroes of the first part.

Otherwise, the film is frankly empty: the script is fragmentary and uneven, the actors played flat and without enthusiasm, and there are very few shootings for the entire film, the whole couple. It is worth saying that the detective Jim Bravur was played by Ludakris. In addition to special effects, the film cannot boast of anything.

The next film game was the next “Prince of Persia: Sands of Time” 2010. The film takes the plot from The Sands of Time and tells us about Prince Dastan, who is trying to change the past with the help of an ancient artifact. Mike Newell sat for the director’s chair, and Jerry Brookhaimer performed the producer. This may indicate that these two people guarantee the movie the key to a sound action. But Disney, adds some naivety to the picture. Separately, it is worth saying about the references to the games of the series: the dagger in the film looks like from Two Thrones, the prince of the prince with a medallion is similar to the one that was in Warrior Within, and in the desert Dastan wears the same headdress, which was in Ghost of the Past.

Whatever critics say there, the film turned out to be excellent: high -quality special effects, a fair share of humor and an excellent game of actors. All this is a rare combination for films of this genre. And many people think that this is the only adaptation of the game that is a complete pleasure to watch.

As I said earlier, in 2012 there was a continuation of the film adaptation of the cult series of games about the “Quiet Hill”. Movie “Silent Hill 2” takes the plot from the third part of the series, and puts us for several years in advance, where Hiser Mason, who goes to the foggy city, in search of the missing father, gets the main role. In this place, she will learn a lot about herself.

It is worth noting about new and old monsters, which turned out to be very at a good level, which I can scare. But most of them are made on the computer, which very disappointed many fans of the first part, since almost all in it were made with the help of makeup, and played their living actors.

And the film itself contains a lot of references to the original series: a bus with prisoners and a police escort, passing right into the wall of the fog, X -ray pictures of the final bosses in the hospital, a red shoe in a motel, nurses, a carousel with monstrous horses … and this is only a small part. But despite the efforts, the film turned out worse than the first part.

The last film on the computer game is “Need for Speed”, which was translated in Russia as “Need for Speed: Thirst for speed”. The main role was played by one of the main boards of Blue Meta Aaron Paul. If we talk about the games of the series, then along the brands of cars and tracks, the third and fourth part of NFS were taken as the basis. Yes, the film has good sound effects, a pleasant picture, and beautiful expensive cars. I would like to say about the races separately: they turned out at a high level.

But the film has a mediocre attitude towards a series of games. There are no characters of old episodes (they could take the story of Ryan Cooper, and it would have been a great adaptation), nor the soundtrack of past parts of games or recognizable cars. But in general, the film turned out to be good. Only now how the adaptation of the computer game turned out to be average.

I would like to say separately about the creations of the eminent director Uve Bolla, who shot many films on computer games, the quality of which, to put it mildly, was not at the highest level.

“Debut” Uwe in the film adaptation of the video game, the film was “House of the Dead” 2003, shot in the games “House of the Dead”. The plot is simple and primitive: a group of students went to tear themselves to one island, where the dead decided to enjoy the living flesh of teenagers at night. They did not want to give up without a battle, and decided to fight back the dead.

The film critics were smashed to fluff. A boring plot, no actors’ game, terrible special effects, and no video game adaptation, branded the name of Uwe Bolla, as a director of bad films on video games. But still, there is in the film adaptation of what the sort of creation is worth watching – this is the scene of the defense of the house from the dead, in which there are shots of the original game. It turned out well with Ball.

Two years later, Uwe decided to film the horror movie “Alone in the Dark”, which turned out worse than the previous film. Movie “One in the dark” 2005 tells us the story of one private detective, which is given to the ancient demons with a wonderful scientist.

The film was not saved from complete failure, not an advertising campaign, nor Christian Slater with Stephen Dorff. Everything is terrible in the film: special effects, the game of actors, and as a film adaptation as a whole turned out to be no. Unless you can listen to music during the credits, behind the performance of the Nightwish group.

All the same 2005, Uwe, Bolle releases another film. This time, this is a film “Bladrain” – A film adaptation of the game “Bloodray”, about a vampire that fights vampires. The plot of the film is practically nothing in common with the primary source in common. Here you are neither canonical fascists or at least a hint of them, that is, for some kind of Romania and a blood-sucking clan.

It is not clear why, it is played by very suitable Michael Madsen, Michel Rodriguez and Krustanna Loken, if the film is dull and godlessly mutilated, the action is slurred and ugly (the heroine moves like a bag of potatoes (if you remember the original, in which the Rhine was easily jumped and ran in terrible), and music with sounds is terrible. This is an uninteresting, boring, sagging movie that tarnished the magnificent computer game. But Uve did not calm down, and shot two more films about the Rhine, which will be discussed a little later.

2007 for Uwe Ball was the denser. After all, he shot as many as three films.
He was the first “In the name of the king: the history of the siege of the dungeon”, The film adaptation of the Dungeon Siege game series, which was spent $ 60 million (most likely 99% paid to the leading role). But still, the film, like many others, has nothing to do with games. Jason Steetem with Lily, Sobeski could not save the film from the horror that is the creation of Uwe Bolla.

Here you have no script, terrible makeup and special effects, a disgusting game of actors, and a direct abuse of a series of computer games. I have one question left: how does it manage to drag good actors to their “masterpieces”?

Well, now it will not be the worst film on the game. This is a film adaptation “Postal”. This film is a kind of good trash comedy with a good “black humor”, in which al-Qaida is ridiculed, US policy, fascism, and even the prove himself, who laughed at himself, playing in his creation.

-There are rumors that I am making my films on the gold of the Nazis. And what can I say is true!

© Quote Uwe Bolla from the film.

Trash, recklessness, cargo, chernukha, shooting children, dwarfs in suitcases, sex with fat and much more. Ball tried to observe some aspects of the game, for example, cats are used as silencers on firearms. And the very essence of the game was UVE to convey: the fact that crazy society gives rise to madmen. Of course, Uwe could take better better, and this is far from a masterpiece, but this is a kind of small step forward, in the adaptations of Uwe Bolla.

As he said earlier, Uwe removed two continuations “Bloodrayne”. And so “Blabrein 2: Liberation” 2007, transfers us during the Wild West (and yes, there are no canonical fascists again here), where one town terrorizes a gang of vampires. The Rhine with a farmer, a reporter and preacher challenged the leader of the blood -sucking and try to save the children whom he abducted. This is the plot of the film.

What can be said about the continuation. It is terrible. Replacing the actress, who played in the first film, played worse, and all the actors did not really try (probably they knew what they were filmed). Special effects and action at the same level as before. Even on the “boobs” Uwe saved. But on what he did not spare, so this is the nonsense, which is in bulk here.

In 2008, Uwe had made a movie “Far Tero”, the rights to which he received before the game Far Cry was released. Having decided to send the 80s under the militant, he added good actors to Til Schweiger and Udo Kira to the film, put a shirt on the protagonist, like from the game and add a couple of moments from “Far Cry” to his creation, Bolla decided that the pup was raising, but not.

A lot of darling, not a canonical plot, excessive protractedness and ridiculous special effects made this creation difficult. If Uwe made this film during the time of the video show, then maybe it was perceived better, and so, this is a stamped, full cliche film, with a good main character.

In 2010, Uwe Bolle decided to try his luck, taking off the third part of the adventures of the bloody Rhine. Movie “Blade 3: Third Reich” It transfers us during the Second World War, where the main character finally cuts, shreds, kills the canonical fascists who decided to use vampires like weapons.

But as happens with Uwe Ball, the film turned out to be terrible and uninteresting. Neither the pretty main character, fascists-vampires, prochering, and the lesbian scene did not save the picture from a complete failure. It probably was not worth mentioning the fact that Uwe had shot a parody of this film, stupidly replacing a beautiful girl with a fat one, and stuffed her the same scenery.

In 2011, Uve made an attempt to again make a good movie by making a film “In the name of the King 2”, Changing the dear actor Stetham to the legend of the 90s Dolph Londgren. The actions of the film unfold after 50 years, after the first part and the fact that the main character got into the Middle Ages from our time. This is all you need to know about the plot of this creation of Ball.

You probably should not repeat about the picture, special effects, the game of actors and the script. After all, everyone understands that everything here is not on top. And the fees amounted to only about $ 40,000, with a budget of $ 4,500,000. It would be better to take off some trash again, in the style of “put”.

The last film that was shot by Uwe Ball in the game is “In the name of the King 3” 2014. On this I will finish.

You are given a diva, looking at how many masterpieces in the game industry, and how many worthy adaptations. But do not despair. After all, there are many more good games that can fall into the hands of excellent directors: James Cameron and the film “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare”, Stephen Spielberg and the film adaptation of “Bioshock”, Luke Besson and the film on the game “Mirror’s Edge” … It is worth dreaming about it and hope that MASS is also MASSEffect with Halo will wait for a decent adaptation. You can still re-re-take Hitman, “Dum,“ Max Payne ”, and that the film adaptation would be in the canon, as the original, and without unnecessary directing and centers, which ruined the previous picture. Assassin’s Creed, “S films.T.A.L.TO.E.P.”,” Need for Speed: Most Wanted “,” Battlefield: Bad Company “,” Red Alert ” – these and many computer games that also make an excellent movie, and it is worth praying that these masterpieces of the gaming industry do not ruin.

The best comments

No. He (like films by re) is terrible.
Another blog-play-plus. For the most part, a modified pasta with rare interspersed of its. Nothing really painted about films. Neok, in short.

Often, filmmakers disdain the original computer game and insert into the movie often A lot of your own.But There are also good ones,A Very rarely, high -quality adaptations of computer games.

They became a film adaptation of the popular video game “Super Mario Bros.”, Under the name” Super Brothers Mario “, in which everyone played.

On the other hand, the scriptwriters did not try to lick the plot from the game, showing their creative abilities, And they took off a good comedic science fiction.

It was possible to do without this, And the film would win at the expense this.But despite This, The adventures of the heroine Jolie liked to follow the audience, which led to the appearance of the sequel, which we will talk about a little later.

Zombies appeared due to the fact that in the secret laboratory of Umbrella corporation, samples of the dangerous virus “T” were stolen, and the protection system, in order to avoid infection of the staff, locks all personnel, and kills people with accessible ways.

And then I throw a punctuation textbook into you from hopelessness. Maybe I’m just a fool and forgot something in the rules? Somehow really frequented.

Mike Newell sat for the director’s chair, and Jerry Brookhaimer performed the producer, What can say about that, What This is a deposit

And so you can continue forever. In short, I’m tired of reading it and abandoned the prince.
To be honest, you can cry from your vocabulary, since the repetitions are simply dohren, and I will not say anything about the epithets. Setting offers. I don’t even know, maybe I really don’t understand anything, but as for me it is pretty limp. Very right. It looks like a conversational style, in fact.
Yeah, it is clear that you at least did not share each film with a “beautiful” line, but the list from this did not cease to be a list of. On the contrary, now it’s also somehow inconvenient. And somehow voluminous. T. e. added dofig, but something standing from this is not enough. I would take less, but painted better. Much better. For this is generally about. Just said that these films exist.
And write, in the end, something is real, my.
And yes, we know how you sculpt such posts.

I do not argue that I wrote something somewhere, since it was difficult to describe a specific film or finish correctly and beautifully. I repent.

And what am I? I reported my thoughts, since you are stood up for the author, and since the people srach around this divorced. 🙂
And I have been conveying these thoughts since 2010, since the league of pluses, so no need.

As a moderator, but I am monitoring that the topics do not minim. For example, two dead souls encroached on this subject. I have two extra pluses with me. No more.
The assessment is the community. I have no right to interfere.

I put it from myself a plus. For efforts. The topic is weak, without insults, but labor and soul are worthy of approval.

The topic is less than a day, they could put it at least an hour ago, at least two. You think the moderators of all ups to keep track of this?
And I understand minus, looking at the previous posts of Shumakov, who are made according to the same primitive scheme: you find a topic for the top;find games films suitable for this topic;You paint why this game/film fell into this topic;You write the conclusion and PC.
And on the Internet they wrote about all this 1000 times. Stop repeating.

Plus!))) An excellent topic in which there is all detailed information about films on computer games. The completeness and interestingness of the topic rolls over. To the author of Bravo … Topik deserves Kosar.

Firstly, the topic is not new here, on the SG, rose more than once. This is not a minus, it’s just not plus.
Secondly, there is no originality in it, the text of something new and interesting does not bring that it is probably also not a minus, but along with the first point it beats a little in the eyes.
Thirdly, design. Not bad, no … but it does not rejoice somehow the eye when you read. Such a volume of text diluted with spoilers looks weak.
Fourth, mistakes. They have already been said about them below.

In principle, everything was already said about everything. Someone is sharply, someone is soft.

The topic is not bad, but no more. I hope not offended. 🙂
When you take up non-original material, it needs to be original and presented in an original way that the viewer/reader see something new for himself.

Lord, copypast Haters shoot yourself! You all use the letters that allegedly invented Methodius with Cyril. This is a copy -paste of letters! Halls are hypocritical.

who suddenly appeared a soul and a good heart? Well, I don’t know … Personally, from this moment I made a little.

What is there goodbye? The whole plot and psychologism perverted, but they drank pc because it is cool. It’s like with an executioner from a resident. Now he also shoves him in every movie franchise = \

In general, I read the comments and agree that the topic was beaten, and it might have to submit it in some other way. For example, to fantasize what games could be filmed and selected for them actors, some plot solutions, well, or in detail make out the mistakes of existing films ..

Then he is nafig to throw words here, wise guy. I didn’t like the topic and put a minus – one. But slander someone only because you do not like him-too childish.

Worthy work. There are a lot of stylistic complaints, but shove so much material to compile a blog … My plus is my plus and continue at the same pace.
I will insert my 5 kopecks: as a fan of Mass Effect, I notice many elements in modern films that could be used. In order:
1) aliens (“district No. 9”). With small alterations will become suitable Turians.
2) a terraforming machine (“a man from steel”). Quite like a reaper. The frames of the destroyed city are also attributed to.
3) Elysium station (Elysium. Paradise is not on Earth “). Worthy decorations for the citadel.
4) gorgeous space landscapes (“Interstellar”).

Summing up, the film Mass Effect can turn out to be a gorgeous gift to gamers and fans of science fiction. We need only an intelligent director, a scriptwriter devoted to his business and, of course, dense work with the fan community ME.

The first two parts would be good if not for Alice. Why was she stuck, it is not clear to me.
In films according to SC, they absolutely sowed the entire subtext, bowing everything to cheap mysticism.
