Sin: The Movie

I played the game back in 1998 or whenever and thought it was pretty good as far as single player first-person shooters went. The world of SiN stayed in my mind so naturally I was interested when I came across a movie version when browsing video store shelves (more of a TV special - got to remember to check the running time when renting anime). On the cover there was a quote from a magazine "sets a new benchmark for game-related anime" which was good enough for me.

What troubled me as I was watching SiN was that the world had been completely dispensed with, Blade's assistant gets killed off in the opening scenes. It became apparent that the SiN character(s) had been grafted on to an independently written story. Blade was something of a detective in the game, in the movie he's just someone holding a gun. Anyone could have taken his place. On its own merits the story is average at best, suitable to be played on TV once and that's it (too boring to warrant being on DVD shelves worldwide in my opinion). Basically a SiN movie has never been made but if you like the look of Blade and want to see his likeness in an average 50 minute anime, then this is your ticket.

Wow, what can I not say about this film? Sure, it's got the typical cliched Anime story-line and art, but it still seems fresh and original. For being a 60 minute film it sure had a lot of plot twists and a excellent, well-crafted, storyline with interesting unique characters. Plus it had more than enough blood, gore, & t&a. But I'm not one to complain. All in all it was a great flick and I highly recommend it to all anime fans out there!

This was yet another weak video game based anime like Fatal Fury. The plot had more cliches per minute than almost any other anime I have seen. The animation varied from really quite nice to absolutely terrible. Even the action sequences boring. Only watch this movie if you really have nothing else. I give it a 3.

I came across Sin: The Movie in the Anime section of my local Cex store. I had never heard of, or even came across this movie before and I own a particularly large Anime collection. The back of the box looked entertaining enough with plenty of action shots printed on the back of the box so I thought to myself this should at least be worth a couple of laughs and for just fifty pence what can it hurt to give it a watch.

I wasn't expecting anything spectacular from this movie but it failed to impress even my lowest expectations. The storyline is so basic and uninteresting that if the movie's exposition scenes were cut you'd still get the same quality of movie just with a much shorter running time.

Sin just doesn't feel like a real movie it's more like a feature length pilot episode for a violent anime series about human/creature hybrids that never went anywhere.

I don't recommend watching this movie it isn't very good or entertaining it's one of those Anime movies that you buy watch once and because it's worth nothing it just sits on your shelf gathering dust until you have a clear out and put it in the bin.

First i will try to make a comment as honestly as possible..and to correct other comments that are personal and not realistic,

SIN THE MOVIE is not that bad ,it was actually entertaining and the main character is captivating .

The animation is OK,the drawing is OK ....but the action ,the situations and the locations are where the movie was captivating and fun.

The monsters are cool ,the transformation of genetics into monsters makes me think of when i used to watch Japanese anime in the 90's.

The story is very simple for a change, since Japanese anime movies usually are complicated and long...this one is short easy to follow and full of action .

conclusion : this movie is simple animation with a lot of action and violence,i give it a 6/10
