But this trailer does not reveal what will ultimately be the apogee of Mr. Boll's storytelling genius! One can only hope he chooses to develop the storyline in a Looking Glass fashion, as opposed to a barrage of pre-rendered cutscenes...

*cough cough* ¬_¬

Uwe Boll reminds me of Max Bialystock from the The Producers. He uses the exact same principle... utilizing a loophole to make a fortunate from a total failure.

I know, I saw this and my jaw dropped, and I laughed my ass off. It looks soooooo bad in every way.

"There some things they never prepared you for...." Like a falling, exploding hellicopter HOMG!

I have always quite enjoyed Uwe Boll's peculiar brand of terrible films. They're guaranteed to be entertaining as long as I don't expect them to be good, and I further appreciate his antics that round him out as an amusing character. That said, I don't think he should be making crappy video games too. He should stick to what he's good at: Making crappy movies.

I will forgive him if he immediately makes a crappy movie out of his crappy video game in such a way that showcases the crappiness of his crappy video game movie of craptacular crappy crappiness.

That would be extremely ironic, because he would be sure to make it be the most faithful adaptation of a video game ever. Nobody ever expects a faithful film adaptation of a video game, and Uwe's adaptations have been as unfaithful as it gets!
