At the time I installed Windows on a free partition on my desktop PC for the sole purpose of playing FarCry. It was great fun. The graphics blew me away.
I watched the movie a few years later, it was ... not as good as the game. But movie adaptations of video games almost never are, Postal being a notable exception.
- croes 3y agoFun fact, both films were made by one of the worst directors of all time: Uwe Boll
- bravetraveler 3y agoIIRC he had/has a talent for taking advantage of German media laws. He's made a lot of derivative things like this
- mattmanser 3y agoIt was a massive tax dodge. Because of German arts funding laws investors could make money even if the film flopped. https://www.cinemablend.com/features/Uwe-Boll-Money-Nothing-209.html https://www.cinemablend.com/features/Uwe-Boll-Money-Nothing-... They closed the loophole he was using in 2006.
- bravetraveler 3y agoAh, thank you for the reminder!
- krylon 3y agoI know. I think he retired a couple of years ago. He was a fairly competent producer, if he had gotten a better director on board, things might have worked out differently. Postal, though, is brilliant, IMHO, because the movie captures the gross, absurd humor of the game perfectly. It's campy, which is what makes it work.
- mejutoco 3y agoScott Pilgrim vs the world is another good adaptation IMO.
