video games are a partial vision, movies are a singular one.
video games tend to fully immerse the player by default & don't need to earn a players focus, movies need to pull the viewer into the movie or directors vision.
video games are open, movies aren't.
Guilermo Del Toro & Niel Blomkamp are the only two directors I'd trust to do Half Life or Halo movie adaptations.
when you look back at the work Guillermo Del Toro has done I'd be surprised if everyone like or dislike didn't accept 3 fundamentals, he tries in every frame of every movie, his movies have heart, and he respects the material. this is why I liked Pacific Rim far more than Star Trek Into Darkness despite Rim having no "huge", well known cast or a solid backstory.
That bodes well for Pacific Rim, it just went up around here. Although I wonder if I actually perhaps, maybe would also add Peter Jacksson to a director that I think would put up a good Movie. But both Del Toro and Blomkamp are spectacular thus far in everything I've seen. I just love District 9 and I pretty much watch anything Del Toro does without any doubt.
