Silent Hill: Revelations 3D

Here's a shot of Carrie-Anne Moss as Claudia. And maybe Valtiel behind her.

I thought that was a dude in the trailer

She kind of reminds me of Jeremy Irons from Time Machine.

[Biojex]

Yeah, but at least she was in the movie. and had her face all bloody.

 

[Biojex]

Well....sorry to say...this movie was pretty bad. Pacing, editing, acting...awful. Didn't capture the atmosphere of the games or even the first movie. Extremely disappointed. Malcolm McDowell was the only enjoyable part for me.

Spoiler

Pyramid Head sword fighting...yeesh...

 

[Project_A]

Yay! I mean... Aww that sucks. not going to the midnight premiere, maybe next.

What's with that Hellraiser-looking chick in the previews?

That's Claudia after a transformation...which honestly has no explanation in the movie...

Damn. That's just really sad to hear.

I suppose I will still see it, just out of morbid curiosity.

It's been a pretty awful year for Silent Hill, guys.

I'll always love the music that plays during this scene.

Seconded, I loved the first one too much to not see this one.

 

[Project_A]

Bio, does it feel like a straight to DVD movie?

 

[Matt S]

Gotta disagree with his review. As for Heather, I thought she did a very good job, acting wise

In my opinion, if you liked the first one, this one will blow you away. Hated the first, and so surprised I dug this one

 

[darthviper107]

I really liked the first, so I'll see this one anyways.

 

[BadMoon]

Man IGN gave it a 4.5 out of 10. I loved the first movie but I will wait. The reviews are just not good.

Yeah, I was really excited going into this one. It just ended as a poorly developed mess. It was so quick to jump to the next scene. They gave little to no time for events to sink in.

The effects weren't representative of a straight to dvd. The acting and development were though.

I don't think this movie will be blowing anyone away...

There were a few moments I liked. Lots of little game easter eggs that gave me a smile and will undoubtedly delight SH fans. But as an actual film...not good.

To each their own....

To each their own....

I'm gonna have to agree with Biojex, to a certain extent. I still liked the film overall, but it's a very mild "like." It took me a couple viewings to fully appreciate the first one (yes, I'd rank the first film up there with the best horror films ever made). I'm wondering if I'll enjoy this one more after a second time, but after my initial viewing, I was pretty disappointed.

The pacing is quite off. It always felt like we were coming into a scene at the wrong time. Certain things took too long, and other scenes were way too short. I felt it could've used another 30 minutes to allow the whole film to breathe. It just moves way too fast. Other complaints were...

... how an awesome character like Dahlia was brought in for one lousy scene just to spout out exposition. I loved her solemn, poetic dialogue from the first, but she was just wasted here. I also thought the sword fight at the end was pretty unnecessary. If built up and executed correctly, that final scene with Heather and Dark Alessa on the carousel should've been the climax (I quite enjoyed that scene, but with a little extra push, it could've carried the end of the movie).

All in all, it just felt limited in scope as compared to the first. It's hard to fault the director when I'm sure he's doing what he can with the budget, but it was still underwhelming. The saving grace was Adelaide though. I thought she was absolutely terrific, and made the entire film enjoyable, even with its flaws.

 

[Centurion]

I enjoyed the first too.
The reviews aren't really liking Revelations too much.
