General Guy: "Your saying you can't control him? Your making brainless monsters!!!!"

This line from the trailer has convinced me that this the movie is actually about the origin of the entity known as Uwe Boll.

My favorite part of the trailer?

Girl: is that your gun?
Guy: oh ho....

    At least this trailer made me chuckle once or twice. I got a huge late 80's Van Damme vibe from the whole thing, which makes sense considering the game stars his digital twin.

    I bet if Uwe Boll sold his movies to the Sci-Fi channel he'd make a lot more money.

    And strangely given the source material the typical Uwe Boll "random crap thrown in" mentality might actual fit!

    No offense to Far Cry... exactly... it was just really damned random.

    This is one of those movies that ends up on USA Network at 3am and you change the channel 15 seconds into it.

    So yeah, a Van Damme movie.

    I did not know Uwe Bolle was doing a Far Cry movie. The whole time I was watching this trailer I was trying to convince myself that this was a joke.

    Then I had to check IMDB to confirm.

    I cannot believe this is real.

    ...and I had such respect for Til Schweiger after his portrayal of fictional open wheel driver Beau Brandenburg in the movie Driven, also starring Sylvester Stallone and Burt Reynolds.

    Well, not really.

    But that abomination of a movie seems Oscar-worthy compared to this.

    The man has come across an IP where his particular brand of directorial ungenius fits perfectly. I watched that and thought, hey, it's Farcry.
    I mean, there's nothing he can do to destroy Farcry. Farcry was about it's combat. It is completely impossible to destroy its plot or universe, because it had none worth mentioning.
    So, make some shit up, throw lots of Farcry style action and explosions into it, maybe a bit of melee. Viola. Farcry.
    Don't pretend it was anything but.

    I agree completely, and I was just about to post something similar. For once, I think Uwe Boll is the perfect director for the job. Far Cry was so cheesy and lame and shallow, in terms of storytelling, that "staying true to the spirit of the game" should be matter of rote for Boll.

    Yeah, while it's not one I'd go and watch, to be honest, it kinda looked like Far Cry. Some scenes he did seem to borrow from the game, but there still looked like a fair few grabbed from his assbag.

    So, we get Uwe Boll to create a mod for FarCry that does the same things for the game that he did for the movie, and we get a better game.

    Wa-hey! :lol:

    I'm just saying, if you want to be Far Cry - you need to go the extra mile rather than just claiming that a guy that is just a little larger than your average soldier is some kind of genetic monstrosity.

    While his movies tend to do horribly in theaters in the US, they usually turn a fair profit in DVD sales.

    Well, obviously, but they could've done something to hide the fact. I mean, it's one thing to do the Stargate thing and make all the alien planets look like Canada, but we know what tropical jungle looks like, and it does not look like pine trees.

    This is Uwe Boll we're talking about. Going that extra mile is the polar opposite of his specialty.

    I hope Uwe Boll gets the rights to a Zelda movie. Then I can say he raped and pillaged my childhood memories. The phrase "He raped my teenage memories" doesn't have the same ring to it.

    Side note - the man has an absolute UNCANNY ability to make his moving look cheap. It isn't hard to make something look professional with a HD Cam nowadays. Everything Boll does just looks... cheap. It is one thing to say his movies are bad - they are - but that can be attributed to poor acting, poor writing...etc...etc... But the direction, the cinematography - Boll has managed to distill the feeling of getting a rectal exam and put it into a visual medium.

    First: "Based on the best selling video game." I think we all know that by now.

    Second: I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Uwe Boll is my hero, and he's one of my favourite directors going. Sandwiched between the Coen brothers and Stephen Chow.

    I don't even really care at all as I have never played Far Cry and probably will not see this movie, I just thought it was a bit odd.

    Then again I suppose there probably weren't very many dungeons under siege in his most recent movie.
