Movie_Chemist

This game seems to be a modern retelling of the plot of the 1970 movie Kelly's Heroes with Clint Eastwood,but I will not divulge the plot of the movie or the game. This game approaches the FPS Genre from a more comedic standpoint and is much less serious that the COD Series or other games like it. Each character had their own funny dialog to keep the mood light in the midst of the ongoing fighting. The controls are similar to those of other first person shooter games, but I am not a fan of how the controls are set up. The controls make it difficult to strafe the enemy when moving due to slow reaction time of the characters and difficulty associated with trying to keep the aim in focus. All in all, it was good game and would recommend it. Then again, I got a couple of years after it came out for pretty cheap, but it worth what I paid for it to me.

In order to relate my experience to viewing this movie to something that the everyday person experiences, I present two separate comparisons. My experience with this movie was like going to the library and picking out a book, from which, I read the first five and the last five pages to see if it is worth taking the time to read. For this movie, the first five pages would include an ensemble cast comprised of many young, talented, and up-and-coming actors, an interesting plot idea, and an exotic setting for the movie. On the other hand, the last five pages would include a surprising and unexpected ending that makes it seem like the book (movie) would be worth the time. So, I take it home and read it, and I realize I have never been more wrong in my life. For people who do not read very much, just imagine getting a milkshake and starting to drink it. You think it was a good idea and the milkshake tastes really good, but then you drink it too fast and get a brain freeze. Ultimately, in either scenario, you arrive at the conclusion of why did I even bother.

In terms of the movie, I found the plot interesting with trying to pick 10 people to repopulate the Earth after a catastrophic disaster, but then the "philosophy class" dynamic should have turned me off immediately, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt. If you have ever heard of a frame story, a story within a story, this movie is more like an acid trip inside an acid trip that was made into a movie. The one thing that every drug addict thinks they are literate in is philosophy and life's experiences. Watching this movie reminds me of a reading one of my friend's essays in college for a philosophy class with parts of essay being well defined, complete, and coherent. However, on the whole, the essay is devoid of any coherence, flow, and a clearly defined theme or message. Like the essay, this movie skips around and lacks the moment that brings everything together at the end. The script of this movie seems like something my friend would have wrote in college while he was taking his hard narcotics.

While this movie failed on many levels, it does present an interesting take on the humanity and morality of people from a host of different backgrounds as many of the characters place emphasis on different abilities and qualities when trying to decide the group of ten that would live through these fictionalized disasters.
