Far Cry (2008) [ Blu-Ray, Reg.A/B/C Import - Germany ]

The acting is horrible, it doesn’t seem to follow the same beats as the game. But for some reason having seen it before I purchased the movie to watch it again. The action is not bad and some of the stunts are cool. Even though the acting/writing could use some work I still enjoy the movie. If it’s on sale and you want a goofy sub par action movie to watch go for it.

What in the wold is going on? From some nice camera shots, to the oddly comical and ridgid dialogue, to the hyper unreal shootouts, all the way to the super random sex scene, there is something for everyone in this package. I know nothing about the video game but I am 100% sure its not this movie. I stuck around mostly because I wanted to see what was going to happen to the guy from Gladiator and to try and figure out how I knew the main female lead (she was a regular on Smallville). Honestly its worth one watch, but it was bad enough where I had no interest in going back to actually answer my question.. what in the world is going on?

This is an awesome movie based on one of my most favorite video games, Far Cry. It has good action, some humor, and it sticks pretty true to the original plot of the game. Overall, it is a fun, lighthearted B-movie.PLOT: Former German special forces operator turned tour boat contractor Jack Carver is hired by journalist Valerie Cardinal to transport her to an island. Her contact has been feeding her information about a scientist named Dr. Krieger who is supposedly performing genetic experiments on humans. Upon arrival Valerie is captured and Jack's boat blown up. Now stranded, they must find a way to escape while fighting off mercenaries and Krieger's greatest creation: genetically modified superhuman soldiers.RANT: I had never even heard of Uwe Boll before I was deciding wether or not to buy this movie. I looked around the internet and this guy seems to get a lot of crap from raging fanboys. Apparently he is hated because he takes video games and turns them into crap movies. I haven't seen any of his other video game movies so I can't say if they are truly as bad as people claim. He makes B-movies and you have to adjust your expectations when viewing these as they aren't supposed to be box office hits and are generally low budget. Far Cry is a great B-movie so I gave it five stars because it is highly entertaining and deserves at least three stars. I'm still pleasantly surprised that a Far Cry movie was even made at all. Fans of the game should appreciate Boll's attempt at turning their game into a movie. Wether you think that attempt was a good one or a bad one is up to you. Watch it and judge for yourself.

This film reminds me of a 1980's action film. Action and over the top humor (and some acting). What is not to love. It was enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this movie. Military with a sense of humor. 1st watch 10/18/2022.

I'm not sure what I expected, but this movie was undoubtedly the worst I have ever seen. It's like it was written by an AI trained by aliens who only visited Germany and had only seen the trailers for bad 80's action films. The best part of the movie is the star being subdued and (presumably) accidentally banging his head on a door opening behind him. If I could sue Uwe Boll for this I would.

From the best, and from the worst. The one thing I appreciate about Uwe Boll is that he makes the movie he wants to see. Still uses a lot of practical effects and stunts which give films an authentic feel.

Not the greatest movie but it was worth sticking it out til the end. Humor and silly but the actors got the base story to make sense and I enjoyed it.

This wouldn’t play on any of my devices. It is for European machines. There should be a warning on this.

Far Cryシリーズが好きなので、この映画の元ネタになっているFar Cry1(Instinct predator)も最近購入しプレイしての感想ですが、はっきり言って「超つまらない」です。安っぽい話、安っぽいアクション、安っぽいセリフで、しかも元ネタのゲームでは「南国」だったのがこちらではアメリカ「北部」だし、ゲームでは”Crowe”に当たる？感じのキャラがこちらでは女性だしと、とにかく元ネタをプレイしてから見るとガッカリする事が多いです。もしFar Cryシリーズの原点に興味があるからという理由であれば、買っても何も得るものはありません。

mouais... farcry en film ? pourquoi pas, adapter un jeu de tir à la première personne n'est pas nouveau, mais là ! c'est du grand n'importe quoi.je suis plutôt indulgent avec les films tirés de jeu, Doom n'est pas un chef-d'œuvre mais il avait le mérite de proposer un scénario fidèle et une séquence filmée à la 1er personne comme si l'on était dans le jeu.alors pourquoi faire un film tiré d'un jeu si l'on ne respecte même pas ce dernier ?tout est mauvais dans ce ...film ? on n'a l'impression d'être devant un téléfilm à petit budget, c'est mal filmé, les acteurs sont mauvais, les cascades et les combats sont dignes d'un épisode de bioman et les décors ne rappels même pas ce du jeu. petit rappel ce dernier ce déroule sur des îles tropicale, là on à droit à une forêts de pins en Oregon.et je ne parle pas de l'histoire... aussi mauvaise que le reste ! heureusement que les noms des personnages sont ce du jeu, c'est le seul repère pour s'avoir que l'on regarde farcry !mention spéciale à Ralf Moeller (c'est lui sur la pochette) cet acteur connu pour sont rôle dans gladiator, n'est pas à son premier "nanar", la série tv Conan le barbare et cultissime pour son grand jeu d'acteur qui à achever complètement cette série. par crom !!avec farcry, c'est pareil !enfin... ce film rejoint la liste des massacre de licence de bon jeu. j'ai quand même mis 2 étoiles pour la seule scène fidèle au jeu : l'explosion du bateau de jack carver, et sa sortie de l'eau avec la même chemise rouge à fleur que sur la pochette du jeu.à regarder éventuellement juste une fois pour le grand jeu des acteurs. pour la rigolade !

il manque cruellement de scénario, la relation avec le jeu far cry est minime, le film est très moyen a mon gout dommage
