Yeah, this movie has been in the making for some time now. I'm suprised it hasn't been mentioned here yet.

At first it wasn't going to be set on mars, and the catastrophic event was going to be a rogue virus. That sure ticked off some geeks.

Frankly, I don't think it's going to suck nearly as much as other video game movies. I think it'll be on par with most action-horror films these days. That's not to say that this is an Academy Award-winning genre, but it could be fun. And I must admit that the first-person view, which I thought sounded stupid, looks like it could at least be an interesting experiment. Nobody here got excited when they saw the chainsaw?
