I just watched this yesterday, I want to start off by saying that this is not a bad movie, It's somewhere in the middle for the most part. I don't know why they went with a different storyline? I feel like there's already so many movies like this and it didn't really feel special or unique because of the story that they took. If you're not aware by now (It's in the trailer so no spoiler), The movie is a loop for the characters to keep dying in, And the same things keep happening over and over again. As far as their deaths, they just die differently a lot of the time. The biggest issue is that there's so many movies like this already, I feel as if they went with the original storyline from the game or even tweaked it a little bit, it would have been a lot better. Because of this storyline, the movie can get old after a while, I found myself tired About 45 minutes in because of the same things that keep happening in the movie, almost felt bored and uninspired. But I kept watching.
Although I kind of understand they didn't want to do the exact same thing, but if you were to watch this movie and no one told you that it was based off the game, you probably wouldn't know, And I think that's where the problem lies. Some of the positive though, The acting was a bit better than I thought and wasn't that cheesy, The special effects and The way the movie looked overall was very good and high quality.
Again, this is not a bad movie, But I feel like if they would have changed the storyline more geared towards the game it would have felt a bit more unique even for people that have already played the game, obviously there's a lot of similarities, but as far as the main storyline there's definitely a change. Overall not a bad movie and I would probably rated somewhere between a 6.5/10. I'm seeing some of the reviews on here and some people are giving it a 5/5 and a 10/10 lol please don't listen to these people. Overall, if you're a fan of the game, you'll probably enjoy this movie decently enough.
