If they do it right, everyone will leave the theater not having a clue what happen, and will have to go to interment forums and read hours of lore written by a kid that hasn’t left his home in years.

I’ll probably watch it but I just have a hard time seeing the vibe of the game translate well. There’s definitely enough there for a good story to be told via movie but again, given how often these sort of project get corrupted by studio execs.

I'd rather not. I liked the game. I don't think it needs a whole movie about it.
