Numerous filmmakers, studios, and talents have tried, but the results are rarely anything worth getting excited about.<\/p>\n<p>My own theory rests with the video games themselves. While there are exceptions, the vast majority of video games being adapted for the screen just don\u2019t have a feature-worthy narrative \u2014 one dense enough to justify a full-length movie \u2014 meaning screenwriters are tasked with building their own story or ignoring it all together while still ticking off a checklist of reference points to the game itself. It\u2019s a recipe typically doomed to fail, but a lack of great video game adaptations still leaves room for fun ones. It\u2019s in that spirit that we\u2019ve decided to rank them from the abysmal to the entertaining, but first a couple of quick qualifiers.<\/p>\n<p>For the sake of our own sanity, we\u2019re limiting the list to live-action films that received a theatrical release in the US. We may expand the list at a later date to include direct-to-video films, DTV sequels, animated movies, and\/or international releases, but for now, we\u2019re sticking with the 41 films below. We\u2019re also sticking with films actually based on a game, so no movies that simply feel like video games (<em>Scott Pilgrim vs the World<\/em>, <em>Gamer<\/em>) have made the cut. Keep reading to see and wholly agree with our ranked list of video game adaptations!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Best_and_Worst_Video_Game_Movies_a_ranked_list\"><\/span>The Best and Worst Video Game Movies, a ranked list:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"41_Dead_Trigger_2017\"><\/span>41.

Instead, it\u2019s this cheaply made and deadly dull zombie flick starring a tired Dolph Lundgren as a military man leading a doomed mission. Bad acting, CG blood\/muzzle flash, and a plot that sees the military produce a video game in the hopes of finding teens who are good at first-person shooters make for a bad time all around. The premise is dumb on its face for numerous reasons, but it\u2019s worth noting that the game studio withdrew its name from the production. Think about that \u2014 no game company ever took their name off an Uwe Boll film. [Rob Hunter]<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"40_Far_Cry_2008\"><\/span>40.

(<em>Far Cry 6<\/em> is due to hit consoles later this year starring Giancarlo Esposito.) Til Schweiger takes the lead on what amounts to an island-set action film with disappointing action (but lots of explosions), and while some mutated threats are introduced they never morph into anything resembling fun. Perhaps unsurprisingly, while the games are well known for their large, immersive worlds, the film feels small and repetitive in its visuals and locales.

The cast is nice under ordinary circumstances as Jason Statham, Leelee Sobieski, Ron Perlman, Matthew Lillard, Ray Liotta, and Burt Reynolds are all talented, charismatic actors, but in Boll\u2019s malformed and talentless hands they simply utter some bad dialogue, collect their paycheck, and peace out.

The game is a fun, action-heavy romp that leans heavily into parkour-like antics in pursuit of treasure, bad guys, and more, but while the film technically follows suit it does so in an unimpressive and insulting fashion. The CG effects are dodgy which in turn hurts some of the action as actor\u2019s faces are added to those actually doing the stunts and green screen backdrops pop up pretty consistently. The bigger issue, though, is the whitewashing of its cast. It\u2019s never a good look, but while movies got away with it decades ago a big-budget film about Persians in 2010 with Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead? Come the fuck on. Gemma Arterton, Toby Kebbell, and Richard Coyle as his fellow Persians only add to the shame of it all.

(A new <em>Resident Evil<\/em> film is arriving later this year, but it\u2019s a fresh take on the game without Milla Jovovich.) Unfortunately, that ends the plusses of this final franchise entry as writer\/director Paul WS Anderson seemingly lost all sense of style and visual talent during its production. A large chunk of it, possibly the majority of the film, plays out in under-lit darkness \u2014 the better to hide unimpressive CG no doubt. Worse, though, is a return to the editing antics of <em>Resident Evil: Apocalypse<\/em>. Action scenes are sliced and diced with abandon turning set-pieces and fights into a clusterfuck of quarter-second images, and it\u2019s as unattractive as it is unimpressive.

Part of the problem rests with the one-note lead as Mark Wahlberg had yet to discover a personality in his performances, but the bigger issue is that for a film adapting an adrenaline-fueled action game this is a pretty dull affair.
