Credo (
temo) di aver visto quasi tutti i film tratti da videogiochi; chiaro che non potevo lasciarmi sfuggire
Doom!
Il massimo complimento che posso fargli è di non essere una pestilenza come
Alone in the Dark; purtroppo i suoi meriti finiscono qui.
La parte di costruzione della trama, è - come previsto - ridotta all'essenziale; quando poi si passa all'azione, si resta delusi pure lì: poco roba e mal girata.
Quando ricordo che i primi due
Doom avevano
una trama la gente di solito si mette a ridere. A ragion veduta. Comunque sia un lungo file di testo con la sbrodolata sulla base militare su
Phobos e l'apertura del portale dimensionale c'era davvero; qui tutto viene aggiornato miscelando ingegneria genetica, megacorporazioni e jibba jabba vario.
In generale il marchio di Doom viene molto poco sfruttato; i veri protagonisti sono
The Rock - qui un po' meno
Eroe Della Gente® del solito - e i mostri ispirati al terzo capitolo della serie. Cavoli, io volevo dei bei
bitmapponi gialli e rossi!
C'è una breve sezione girata in prima persona, ma è fatta piuttosto male e ricorda più
House of the Dead che Doom; c'è anche la
BFG, ma viene sfruttata poco. In compenso ci sono una marea di primi piani per esaltare le capacità attoriali del cast ed in particolare di The Rock, che qui sfoggia l'espressione
con il mitra alzato, l'espressione
con il mitra abbassato e - non ci crederete - pure
tutti i frame intermedi! Quando uno è bravo...
Visto i titoli in lavorazione, temo si dovrà aspettare ancora un bel po' prima di avere un film decente tratto da un videogioco (
Hideo ti prego: dirigi il film di
Metal Gear Solid... magari scrivendo la sceneggiatura a quattro mani con
David Hayter!)

® 3/10:
Kojima, Hideo
Data di nascita: 24 August 1963
Coniuge: ?::(? - present) 1 child
Ultimi lavori: Biografia:Hideo Kojima was born August 24th, 1963 in Setagaya, Toyko, later moving to Kobe and growing up there. His love of Americana gave him his major two interests of writing and creating film, which are the causes of why he is so well known today. During the mid 1980's, his interests pushed him to pursue looking for a career in film making, but a chance discovery of Nintendo's Entertainment System gave him an interest in videogames. Searching for a job at one of the many games companies in Japan, he ended up being hired by Konami Entertainment and shunted to work on the MSX home computer department. While this may have been a blow for the willing game planner, he took the opportunity to create a handful of games for the MSX such as Metal Gear (1987) (VG) and _Snatcher (1993)_ . During the early 1990's Kojima worked on various games which have become instant classics such as various other versions of Snatcher, and Policenauts for the PC, 3D0, Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation, along with some various other work with two Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series games in 1997 and 1998. However he had some plans for another sequal to Metal Gear which he had been quietly working away on with a few others since working on Policenauts. First shown at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), _Metal Gear Solid (1998/I) (VG)_ looked to being a major hit with many people. With each subsequent showing of the game due for release on PlayStation during 1998 caused more interest. To date Metal Gear Solid has sold over 5.5 Million copies and Kojima is widly recognised as a videogaming god, more so than the few who ever saw his previous work. Kojima himself is a very humble man, never letting his work effect his public attitude. He works long hours to strive for his goals, and always takes the time to talk to the press, sign autographs, or stay for an entire gaming show. He is always interested in the views his fans have of his work, and believes in anyone being able to create their dreams. With _Zone of the Enders (2001) (VG)_ and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (2001) (VG), one of the most anticipated games ever, the world looks set to see more of Hideo's dreams come to life.
