The story was mind numbing and the characters were pretty much pointless... but you got to ride around in robot suits and blow up bugs, which is fun for a little while. Probably not as fun to watch on the big screen, because it has to struggle against both its anime style and leanings (which, meaning if it was made true to game in terms of live action, it could look a lot like Casshern, if anyone's seen that) as well as little initial fanatic fan base from the game. (Even the game releases pissed me off with the Colonies edition which could have probably been DLC and it was a big fuck you to owners of the original because you couldn't even multiplayer with the new edition... it was lame and upsetting.)
Basically, the movie's gonna suck it or not get made. Not only because I'm sending it negative brain waves starting now.
