i really enjoyed this movie-- i've only played one of the SH series games, but i really enjoyed the movie nonetheless. i thought the gimmicky twist was kind of clever, but i was bummed they didn't shoot an alternate "good job, you got all the items and didn't drop any into a ravine" ending-- that would have made for a good extra on the DVD.

i thought the weakest elements of the movie were the dialogue and the acting, especially on our protagonist girl's part-- i thought she was supposed to be around 10 years old, but she kept talking like she was 5 (e.g. "i don't like that, mommy!").

i am exceedingly glad that they brought over some of the enemies and music from the video games. ... *especially* the music-- i own all the soundtracks and i love them. it is the best video game to movie adaptation i've seen. have you seen the "parasite eve" movie? i guess that was the other way around, where the video game technically came after the movie...
