Arriving at a time when audiences began to question the line between CGI and conventional moviemaking, this ambitious video game adaptation quickly fell of the radar as a cautionary tale for future filmmakers. But the project, which features some of the most exciting computer-generated characters ever put on film, proves to be a rewarding, adult-oriented odyssey that offers more than mere video-game style showdowns. Now on DVD where its technical (much less creative) accomplishments can be fully appreciated, this film offers an intelligent, humanistic alternative to the conventional body-count approaches of live-action adaptations. -TG
