I'd chalk that up to "life -> lemons -> lemonade".I think Wizards was involved in this movie -- they mentioned it frequently in their promo material for Book of Vile Darkness, and I also recall seeing mention of a contest to have a character generated by one of their customers included in the movie. I had forgotten about all that until I saw this thread.

Cave Johnson said:When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
wow....I've seen better acting in fanfic films...
Unless I'm missing something, Syfy movie = never intended as a theatrical release.Honest to God, dude, I thought this was a fan film!
Straight to video then?
Did you see the reviews? Not the best comparison made.
Yes, but Battleship has a 34% tomatometer and a 56% of fans liking it.
The original Dungeons and Dragons has a 10% tomatometer and 26% of fans liking it.
It's THAT bad.
The other approach is look at the video games that did really well under license (w.g. Planescape Torment would be my choice to do a movie).
AT least Battleship had an FX budget and some picture quality. This dingy, desaturated POS hurts to look at even before the CG.Did you see the reviews? Not the best comparison made.

Hear, hear! Planescape came along too late in the scheme of things for TSR to do it true justice, but P:T is a cult classic. I do wonder, though, if the various philosophical and moral absolutes of the Outer Planes would go over well with the masses who've been steeped in a fair bit of relativism throughout their lives. The factions would challenge them, too.
Still, I think it'd be a grand idea to put P:T on the silver screen.![]()
