It definitely did not live up to the expectations I had. For a game, where failure means many jump scares, there is a surprising lack of them. I think also, there could have been more game influence, like switching through cameras or closing doors, whatever. Where is my sense of DREAD??
That said, my expectations aside, I liked it, and thought it did a great job with what it had. The human characters were okay, but the animatronic suits were absolutely incredible and I'm so glad they didn't go with CGI. There's a weird section of the movie in the middle that I didn't like but ended up kind of liking? The plot is okay? Resolution good?
There's just nothing SUPER offensive about the movie, and it was fun to watch with a group of friends who all have played at least the first few games. Hard to recommend because I know what fan-base we're dealing with, but nonetheless I'd say it gets my recommendation for your watch.
