I figured out my problem with Beyond: Two Souls

It's just a bunch of really great ideas for movies squeezed together to make one kind of okay movie.

Also, Quantic Dream should just make a rom-com already.

 

Quantic Dream should disband or get rid of David Cage

 

...

 

Don't you dare talk about Ellen Page like that.

 

I think whether you like or dislike the game themselves, David Cage and his team are invaluable for pioneering new ways to get things done in games, with stuff like mo-cap. I think the whole interactive movie genre is an untapped gold mine

 

Hey, I'm not saying anything about her. Ellen Page did a terrific job as Jodie Holmes, she really did, but the movie itself wasn't all that great. I really would have preferred a movie based around any of the premises of each individual chapter. An American soldier teams up with a child soldier in the Middle East to assassinate a bloodthirsty warlord? Awesome war movie. A girl is trying to date her long time mentor but her jealous roommate keeps interfering? Hilarious rom-com. A little girl with supernatural powers is subjected to experiments that are her only constant growing up, and later tries to fit in with teenagers her own age who end up bullying her? Cool psychological slice of life thingy. A girl who is connected to a ghost must figure out the truth behind why a hospital is suddenly being haunted by spirits? Horror movie. All of that combined into some kind of mish mash of things? Beyond: Two Souls.

 

lol I was kidding, I never even played the game.

 

The fact the game seems to have pro-suicide message is one (of a few dozen) reason(s) I don't like the game.
