Video game movies have a chance of being good, they are almost always trash with a slim chance of being good. For a game with a lot of lore and no plot, the chance of being good is close to zero.

Maybe a miracle will happen.

I’m cautiously optimistic. The lack of a plot in the game leaves a lot of creative room for the film and the deep lore gives them a lot to work with. Also it’s Alex garland and a24 so like. I’m in.

But also adds more chance of the movie to fuck up the lore for the sake of the movie's plot.

It could absolutely be a dumpster fire but I trust a24 to not fuck it up. They have a great track record and I think the whole minimalist storytelling thing is right in their wheelhouse. Time will tell though.
