Silent Hill: Revelation
2/10
Awful...I'm a fan of the games (the first 4 anyway), and despite my expectations was kinda looking forward to seeing it as I assumed it would be based on Silent Hill 3 (my favorite game in the series), but I started falling asleep during this movie.
That said, it's not based on Silent Hill 3 beyond Heather being the main protagonist.
Nothing in this movie matters; no character development, the story never evolves beyond a vague premise, its tenuous tie to the first movie is explained away with a MacGuffin that makes no sense at all, the villain has all of 5 minutes of screen time - with anything you might need to know about her being told through exposition rather than action, and the movie culminates in a laughable final fight that makes no sense within the context of the story.
It exists for no reason other than shallow fan-service, but even then it fails because it's just so lazy and clumsily executed.
The visual effects were also embarrassingly bad, and there were far too many unnecessary '3D' camera shots with stuff being pointed right at you.
Just meandering, pointless, baseless, boring garbage...but it at least met my expectations.
