So, as a movie based on a video game...
James returns to Silent Hill, and suffers many a flashback and he wanders around the town, bumping into people who are metaphors for his past life and love. He stumbles from place to place, encountering plot beats and not at all subtle references until finally he gets several endings.
So I'm trying to view this movie on the level of it being a movie and... it's a mess. Just random moments stitched together, going from one place to another just to justify another memory flash back, and then tying it all together in blatant story telling.
And as a movie adaptation... I can see why they went with some of the changes, they don't have time for all the original sub plots, but then they still reference them anyway. And then what was the point of some of the things they did include? Aside from game nods, they don't serve any purpose (what was any point of Eddie?).
Fans will be able to say more about this, but I can't say I was thrilled to return here.
