Uwe Boll. That name either elicits sheer terror (for the wrong reasons) or general indifference within the games community, and amongst the horror movie buffs. Responsible for past misadventures bringing video games to the big screen (Bloodrayne, House of the Dead); Boll with the aid of Ubisoft is bringing the PC classic Far Cry to movie-goers.
The trailer, which has become available on YouTube, has already undergone a barrage of fact based critical analysis – “crap” I believe was mentioned many times. From the looks of the trailer, it’s bad, real bad and not in a ‘rebel you wanna love’ kind of way.
Is Uwe Boll or Ubisoft more to blame for this impending train-wreck? It’ll be fun to watch either squirm out of this one, though Uwe Boll has been known to take criticism and its author to heart by challenging them to a fighting match.
