Viewing Notes

Initially thought they sewed together all the cut scenes from the video game but this is in fact an all new movie based on the characters. Kinda weird watching that animation style in a feature length format as it’s much like watching someone play the video game. However the story is decent (penned by Todd Farmer). Totally watchable fantasy with some badass women kicking ass.
