Ava Rics How to make viewers Cry & Laugh.Alright Far Cry is basically NOT based on a computer PC game, It is an action adventure thriller, I mean at least this is what this movie look likes.OK far cry starts with a weird examination that is going on an unknown Island far away from general population by some weird scientist (Dr. Lucas Krieger), who Experimentation are funded by government officials (General Roderick). (We have no Idea why would government do that).Max Cardinal comes into contact with some sensitive information regarding to the operation which proves that the experimentation is illegal, so he contact his cousin Valerie cardinal(Who is a press reporter). So Valerie goes on a mission to search this unknown Island and his missing uncle Max. Valerie hires a boat and (the HERO enters the scene), Jack craver who happens to be MAX best butt buddies in the Army special force way back in time and the Mission starts, Things didn't turn out the way it should have been and now the girl and the boy are chased by entire Island security force. (Crappy background Music)Cheap thrills, Medium quality Action scenes and a semi-hot bed scene and some more Crappy music.Turns out that uncle MAX has been turned into a Super soldier who is now under the possession of the Weird scientist and has been activated to kill his Cousin & his best buddy. But the real human emotion in MAX has been activated by some code word used by JACK, which symbolizes something from the past when they were in special forces (Probably an erection technique). MAX(the super soldier)is now against the Scientist and will save his Cousin & Buddy. Mayhem starts, every soldier is foot loose and is on killing everyone who comes along his way. But some how Valerie and Jack are off the Island in a boat which comes to rescue by a Food guy(Comic relief) & the scientist is left alone on the Island to take the taste of his own medicine. (Crappy Music again). Happy ending. Valerie got her covers news, Jack got a new boat on which the Food guy makes hot delicious meat and we are left to decide Uhhhhh.The movie is not to bad, Tim voice sucks no wonder why German kicked him out. The actor played the role of scientist looks likes he is taking some kind of Drug. There is a food guy, which gives us a comic relief(Beside the fact that the movie itself is a big spoof of Itself) My Rating : 5/10
Shaun Choo Okay this is another one of Uwe Boll's game-to-movies. I am pretty sure you should know what to expect but in this case it is a slight step in the right direction. I know what you are thinking.I am crazy but seriously this film is a slight improvement on all of of his game-to-movie adaptations. However slight,an improvement is an improvement.The is about a retired special forces soldier Jack Carver(Til Schweiger) who now ferries people on his boat to the sea for sightseeing. However things take a turn for the worst when an aspiring journalist , Valerie Constantine(Emmanuelle Vaugier), decides to hire him to take her to Dr Krieger's(Udo Kier) island. Where he is testing reanimated soldiers to fight at his command. Of course they both are discovered and destruction and mayhem ensue.The story is of course not too great considering Uwe Boll's making it. There is always a bad thing and a good thing when it comes to a game-to-movie adaptation. In this case it is Far Cry's. First the bad. The convoluted plot is one of the bad points of this film. I mean what kind of government would allow the reanimation of soldiers. Of course again there is that cliché where "they say that they have everything under control but obviously they do not" situation. And now the acting. Til schweiger actually does a decent job at being Jack Carver.Hhe could actually pass of as B-list action hero. However sometimes his accent gets in the way of him feeling like an action hero. And Emmanuelle Vaugier is not really up to her usual standard of acting, lacking any real emotion throughout he film. And the worst actor in this film was probably Chris Coppola. He played Emilio, a cook who is caught in between this whole mess. I am pretty sure he brought in to have some comic relief. But the sad thing is that he is just not funny at all. His jokes come in at all the wrong times. Courtesy of sloppy writing. I if you did not know, he was also in another Uwe Boll movie, Postal , in which he was not funny too. Although that was another good effort by Uwe. He is the kind of guy who tries to be funny but just isn't.And now the good part of the film. The ACTION !!!! Seriously this was probably the only saving grace in the entire film. The fight scenes were nicely choreographed and the shoot outs were pretty cool too. Even the beginning chase scene was well shot. If Uwe Boll has proved anything is that can direct a B-action movie properly if he wanted. He just has to take the initiative. Although he still has a long way more to go and has to improve a lot more if he want to be famous and not notorious for his directing
ctomvelu1 Yet another video game adaptation by Mr. Boll, FAR CRY has a retired Special Forces guy (Schweiger) ferrying a female reporter (Vaugier) to a remote island where her uncle is being held by mysterious forces. Turns out the island is a government institution where a mad doctor (Kier) is transforming soldiers into super soldiers. Vaugfier gets captured early on, so it's up to Schweiger to rescue her and the uncle and take on about 500 soldiers -- plus the mad doctor. Schweiger, the current generations's answer to Tom Jane and Christopher Lambert, is an affable, German-born actor probably best known for INGLORIOUS BASTERDS. Vaugier is her usual sexy self, but is little used in the film. Standard mindless fight scenes and explosions clearly inspired by UNIVERSAL SOLDIER. For true cineastes, it will become clear two minutes in that this was shot on the cheap in Canada.
Wesley Himot There are several conditions which one must abide by in order to enjoy this movie. ONE, forget the game (even though it is good);TWO,watch this movie empty headed/don't take it seriously; THREE, ignore the bad acting. If you can do these things, then you might actually like it. There were several points in the movie where I was laughing so hard, I was crying. The humor was subtle at times and others it was blatant, but it was still funny.Now, with that being said, it wasn't a quality movie by any means. The action scenes were nice, but not awesome; the acting was sub par, especially the lady in the beginning, "But George, I want to see the whales!" This was a part where I was cracking up. Also, the chemistry between Valerie and Jack was, well, interesting. They just sort of, ummm, came together as if they knew each other for a long time. In fact, the character development was the weakest point of the movie, but hey, like I said, condition number two.The ending was good enough, but in the end I felt like nothing was accomplished. It sounds like I hated the movie, but the humor and Shweiger's relaxed feel, even in dire situations, just made this enjoyable. Plus the ending action sequence was cool. Don't watch this if you want a serious, hard core action movie. Watch this if you want to watch a relaxed, not-so-serious movie.Uwe Boll's best video game movie, and the only one worth seeing (renting).
