The Far Cry Movie Trailer Is Par For The Course For Uwe Boll
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 3:01 PM on February 15, 2008
This trailer for Uwe Boll's film adaptation of Far Cry is sure to put asses in movie theater seats. Snappy catchphrases in the making like "I haven't said anything about being simple" and the gleaming star power of Til Schweiger are going to go a long way to ensuring that Crytek's game becomes a massive blockbuster. Is it me or is there an out of place punch-in-the-face sound effect near the end?

I'm not so sure about Uwe Boll... But if General Hammond is in it... Dam.. My inner geek, it commands me. Seems Uwe Boll does know how to get arses in seats. This better not suck like Bloodrayne.

Thank you Uwe, underwhelming as always. I think that trailer gave me cancer.

OK well i've absorbed all of the comments and while all valid i still think i will get the bootleg of this movie. it may be craptastic but i still want to see it, yet dont want to support Uwe Boll in anyway.

The best part of the trailer is the music from 'The Usual Suspects' used just before the boat blows, because it reminded me I haven't seen it in a while and really need to.
The rest of it looks fucking garbage.

@Gunhaver: Yeah, Udo Kier doesn't need to be in shitty movies like this. Hopefully, Rob Zombie will shape up and ACTUALLY make the Were-women of the S.S. movie.
Anyway, the trailer looked so-so, but that logo looked ill-timed and spaced out. (As a graphic designer, I tend to look at shitty logos and criticize poor design)

Uwe boll shouldn't be allowed to touch game franchises anymore... really... WTF were those game companies THINKING? I mean, he's INFAMOUS in the game world. I'm going to renounce my PS3 if Sony lets him take any of their franchises... Or Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Team Ico... Has he done any Capcom or Konami franchises? Majesco I can understand. Atari I understand (though I'm excited for the new Alone in the Dark game, actually...) but hopefully no substantial game companies...

Is it just me... or do most of the one-liners also apply to Boll's current filmography?

"You are one persistent son of a bitch!"
"You're a sick egotistical maniac"
"Let's not go over the top."
The production value alone looks like something that you would find on the SciFi channel...

I'm sorry... But that, that was just terrible. The acting was so bad. I mean come on.. Its a trailer. Trailers are supposed to be good, no matter how crummy the movie is. But that trailer, it reached a new low for being the worst one out there. Seriously, this movie is gonna have a huge blow on the Far Cry series.

Between this and Postal...I am afraid I may actually spend money to see Uwe Boll films. Lord of the Rings caliber? No. But at least they can't be as bad as "Highlander: Endgame"

I'm torn, I want to hate it because it's (apparently an) Uwe Boll Film, and the dialogue in that trailer was composed enitrely of the cheesiest one liners i've ever heard, But my druglike dependancy on Stargate dictates that I must watch it for Don. S Davis

Uwe Boll has the opposite of the Midas touch. Anything he touches turns to shit. He takes a license that could in capable hands be a fairly decent summer action flick, and cranks out something I would call lackluster if it was straight to video.
I feel bad for anyone who acts in his movies, but not for the people who watch them. By now they should know better. Perhaps the actors should too, but they have bills to pay.

This movie looks disgusting. Awful. Wow. Is it supposed to be bastardized into a comedy? I'm ... shocked. Uwe Boll has some kind of voodoo power. He must. I've made better films than his, and somehow I can't get funding, and this man does! Wow! I think this movie will actually be successful. It's got that "I'm a bad movie with lots of out-of-place silliness, punches to the face, and explosive action - Aren't you just dying to watch me!" vibe. Hahahahaha. Uwe Boll.
Wow.

Why do you people take these movies so seriously? What do you expect, Schneider's List? Yeah, I enjoy the movies, actually I really like them. The acting is horrible, the dialogue is cheesy, but hey, wasn't Death Race 2000? Superfly? Don't just judge Boll's work just because everyone else on the internet says so. If you still hate him, no problem. But most of you act like every new film is required to be a serious attempt towards an Oscar.

I don't think it showed it in the trailer, but Anthony Bourdain from my favourite travel/food show, No Reservations, makes a cameo as a scientist getting shot up in that lab at the start.
One of his episodes showed him on set, was pretty funny.

The credits are the best part. Not only is it credited as "An [sic] Uwe Boll Film", but therse also a blank Music By listing. In fact, those credits are so amatuerish as to put me of the film. Even if it does have Don S. Davis.

Acting looks up and down...based on the trailer, it's alright a couple times, then terribly plain at others.
Writing definitely needs work. "Is that your gun" is quite possibly the lamest line I've ever heard. What team thought it was clever enough to not only write it, but approve it?
It's too bad, someone who knows how to make movie games would be nice, it's just too bad Uwe can't seem to do a good job. Not to Uwe if you're reading this: The general concensus is that your movies suck. I'm not watching any of your movies, never have, and never will. I'm judging your work without seeing it, but isn't the point of a trailer to make people want to see the movie and give a sneak peak? Sorry to say it, but I see any movie so long as someone says it's decent, I've yet to see one comment anywhere praising your work. You've had many fair shots to get people to say it's decent at the very least, and your work(apparently) gets worse each time.
Try making some other movies, lets see if it's your directing or the fact that it's a game movie.
I am considering Postal though. Anything that's over the top offensive attracts me.
