Mutant Chronicles, except i don't think about it normally, but immediately comes to mind when somebody asks similar question. Also it wasn't mediocre, it was incredibly bad and the second biggest disapointment movie ever for me (worst was Starship Troopers 2).

Premise seems pretty cool (mutant/zombie machine), and I guess it's kind of a cool but forgettable action flick?

I played a lot of tabletop and card games in this universe in 90's so i was pretty excited for a movie, and while it was forgettable (but also bad) action flick its main fault was that it has basically nothing in common with the Mutant Chronicles universe.

It's like getting "Lord of the RIngs" movie, but about some gang war in a village southeast of Umbar.

In this case i would like to recommend some books for you:

  1. The Last Ringbearer by Kirill Yeskov
  2. Ring of Darkness series by Nik Perumov

Basically unlicenced Middleearth fanfics written by Russian authors but a good ones and getting officially published in multiple countries.
