Video game movies have a chance of being good, they are almost always trash with a slim chance of being good. For a game with a lot of lore and no plot, the chance of being good is close to zero.

Maybe a miracle will happen.

I think about this a lot

I love the idea of media expanding on the lore, but needing to insert a plot could ruin it

My only "solution" is a TV series instead of a movie and every episode should be a separate story

I’m cautiously optimistic. The lack of a plot in the game leaves a lot of creative room for the film and the deep lore gives them a lot to work with. Also it’s Alex garland and a24 so like. I’m in.

But also adds more chance of the movie to fuck up the lore for the sake of the movie's plot.
