I have such a fond memories of playing the game (apart from being THE game that I had to buy memory expansion for Amiga for it to work at all), so when I heard there's a movie, expecting it to be done in manner of such movies from the 50s, which were direct influence on the game, I had high hopes...well, until I saw the trailer.

I just...couldn't...

Well, they put the movie in the modern time and definitely don't take themself seriously. You could argue this is in the canon of the game, because there is the comet that landed decades ago and the military extracted alien DNA to splice with ants. So the story of the game could happen and decades later the story of the movie. I am not sure if a movie in the way of old B-movies but taking itself seriously would work though, people and times are differently today than in the past, expectations have changed. So making it a fun and silly movie was a direction that they took instead.

Oh, I'd have no problem if it was a bit fun and silly, I just wanted original feel as if it was as if made in 50s - think something like Tim Burton's "Ed Wood"...maybe sprinkled with a bits of Anderson's "Asteroid City" for a bit more modern take...yeah, I know, I know, I'm being completely unrealistic here...;)
