As long as it is not some CGI-fest then sure. Having alot of make-up and animatronics like Star Wars would be awesome.

I mean some CGI would be nice. But again... just not something like Avatar or something.

Avatar was visually stunning, except when using those ****ty 3d glasses. I could care less about who stars in the movie if it isn't based on the games storyline, which I hope is the case for the movie. But if for some reason BW is feeling shortsighted and decides to alienate everyone by chosing a shepard movie they need to go CG as no actor look alike will ever be as good as a CG character with the voice actor backing it.

As I have stated before, check out the cinematic trailer and the ME3 trailer and tell me that those don't look fantastic. While we are at it, whoever directs the commercials should direct the movie.

I doubt this movie will be made.

I certainly hope so....as has been pointed out, video game movies have a poor track record...and this one has the potential to make a canon ending for the series (which most fans are NOT happy about). This could be the end to the series and there is a good chance it won't end well. It would be smart for Bioware to just cancel the movie (Like right now. Do it. Do. It. Please?) but I don't see that happening. Unfortunately .

Well it all depends on what route they decide to go for. If they decide to do a fully animated movie then heck yes something that looks like the ME3 teaser would be fantastic. I was just stating if they decided to do a mixed media film (like with live action and some special effects).

IMDB is edited by the public just like any wikipedia entry.  There's been no announcement on the setting of the movie and the summary on IMDB was just written by some idiot who thinks they're important.  

There's been ZERO information so far from anybody who is actually involved with the movie.  

To put it into perspective, IMDB also has Matthew Fox listed as Commander Shepard.  Not only has it been denied that he has been approached for the role, but how would you have Commander Shepard in the First Contact War?  
IMDB should always be disregarded when it comes to movies in pre-production.  I mean, even they fell for the completely BS rumor that Keanu Reeves had announced that there would be a Matrix 4 and 5.

This is why the movie is doomed to fail.

There's hardly any argument in that picture, so I think you'll need to elaborate why it's a bad idea, rather than showing a fictional situation where it turns out to be a bad idea.

is the single worst business move of these regular sellouts carees.Realy!!! If they release
This turkey before or to soon after ME3 it will kill the series and their popularity among true fans entirly (The ones who made them rich & famous in the first place...your welcome from all of us).
I mean Why doesnt Drew Karpyshyn step up & try to save what hes created?????!!!!!!!!!!
Or is he realy that desperate for income right now???(still a great auther though)
As for my fanship i'll be here.....waiting...watching....commenting..I'll be that beacon of

As for Drew.....Why have you forsaken me?.....why?
Still looking forward to Mass Effect 3 though.....

I'm not going to use your skills in communication as part of my reasoning, but damn, you're not making yourself look credible typing like that.

I am one of the biggest Mass Effect fans out there...but honestly, I can't support them making a movie out of the game. As many people have previously stated, it would simply take away from the experience that made the games so great in the first place. Ultimately, some part of the fan base would be pissed off if the movie Shepard wasn't the way they wanted. For example, if I watched it and saw **** like Wrex dying, and Shepard choosing Ashley over Liara then I'd be slightly put off. Those are just basic examples.

Basic examples that don't cover the entire concept of making a Mass Effect movie. There's a whole Mass Effect universe that will definitely work sufficiently as framework to base a story on. In fact, I would be surprised if the Mass Effect movie even used Shepard as a main character.

Asari Party wrote...

Another thing that bothers me about it is when was the last time you saw a great movie based on a video game? Mass Effect is a movie in itself...the player's own movie. I don't really see any reason why they would need to make a movie out of it unless they wanted to make money. Think of several examples of movies based on video games. Here are some well known examples: Silent Hill, Bloodrayne, Lara Croft/Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil, Mortal Combat, Hitman...Those are just the well known ones.

Prince of Persia, Silent Hill, Tomb Raider and Hitman are only bad movies if you directly compare them to the videogame, which not only is an irrelevant comparison as they're both different media, but also if you're a videogame nerd that doesn't have a neutral perspective on the world of movies. Take Avatar for example. Supposedly one of the best movie to come out, yet still terrible when you look at it as a whole. The movie industry is ill.

What I'm saying is that even if the Mass Effect movie isn't as good as the game, it could still be way better than a great majority of movies out there.

Asari Party wrote...

With the exception of Silent Hill, I can honestly say I didn't care for any of those movies. Sure Tomb Raider had Angelina Jolie, but it really didn't do anything for me. Prince of Persia was nothing like the game, and I hate those people for making me spend money to sit through that crap. Live action movies based on video games just don't dazzle people...well at least not in the same sense the game would. Especially a game like Mass Effect where you get to decide how everything turns out in the game. The only good thing about making a movie of it is they would broaden the Mass Effect fan base. Though if they ruin it, then they also ruin the chance of those people giving the game a chance.

Are you implying that most people who are going to see the Mass Effect movie are potential gamers all of a sudden? I couldn't disagree more.

Asari Party wrote...

I'm not saying it's impossible to pull off, but it would be extremely hard to keep it true to the story if hollywood got their nasty hands all over it. Maybe if they do it on the First Contact War, or something that isn't about Shepard specifically they might be able to do it. Although, I love Bioware to death, and I'll support them no matter what they decide to do.

And maybe your excessive loyalty is what made you shiver at the moment. Look at it as a whole. Mass Effect/Bioware is an antagonist in the gaming industry, and they're good at what they do. If other game based movies have pulled off a successful debute before, it should be a piece of cake for Bioware, especially when taken into consideration that the production is supervised by Bioware. I enjoyed the books they released, and am therefore convinced that Bioware has the capacity to make this a successfull film, enjoyable for us players and those movie addicts out there.

If the movie sucks, so will the Mass Effect franchise, and it will disappear. You want proof, look at the Super Mario movie, a very bad movie, and because of that, when was the last time a Mario game came out that was popular.

You are correct, except for that part where you compared the Mass Effect universe with a fat italian plumber featuring a mustache shaped like an upside down croissant.

I mean the game was a movie....unless they made a movie not involving any of the characters or anything to do with the Shepherd's story it could be fine, like a prequel to it....early days of the Council....yadayada....I mean there ( rumored ) to be making.....(killing).... Uncharted. Eeep! Unless they get Nolan North to do voice over.....forget it. We talk so much abot games reaching a point of interactive cinema....seems like a money grab or overkill. Stay true, Bioware.

[thedarkcanuck99]

If they did it all in animation that might work....but not live-action. Games to movies not good.



Man, a bit of a paradox.



Cheers.

And who exactly was it that made you go see it? Don't blame whoever made the movies for your sitting through it, it was your own bloody fault for deciding to go and pay.

Back on track, there is a lot of potential for a Mass Effect movie, and I feel we should give the company more credit than to assume they're going to use Shepard as a main character or at all. Chances are they're going to cover something like the First Contact War, and if they do, consider me excited. I'll reserve my judgement for after the movie is released instead of ****ing about how it could be bad, because it's not going to stop them from doing this.

[DarthSliver]

The First Contact War would be interesting. But if they go the route of making the games into movies, they better Animate it instead of real actors. Too much unrealistic things going on in the games, so to speak.

[Silver Dreamer]

DarthSliver:

I was going to disagree and say that the Halo short movies before Halo 3 weren't bad, but then I remembered that they would have to put Turians in makeup... Bad, bad idea. I see no way of making a person look like an actual Turian through makeup, and a mix of live and CGI has the potential to look extremely bad.

A full out CGI would work best, in my opinion. And the First Contact War would be awesome! I imagine other non-gamer moveigoers would have no idea what's going on (except these reptile *yes they're actually avian, but that's what gamers would know* people are fighting with humans. And then they became... well, not even frenemies. More like courteous nemeses.). I wonder if they would have to "dumb" it down (before I rile anyone, I mean cut a lot of the backstory from the movie) to streamline it?

Then again, maybe this is just fanservice. That would be nice. Unlikely, but nice.

A thing noone ever speaks about is the language.
I mean: how believable is a space society where after humans have only been around for a while, anyone speaks english even though they come from so many different galaxies, planets and systems...??? (I kinda uderstand Batarians grudge towards us...)
I know that comes in a huge handy in terms of playability and it may work out good in a VG (no one would like to watch alien conversation with subs), but that wouldn't really work in a film...well, it actually worked in Star Trek Next Generation but I think they should consider it.
The Star Wars universe has plenty of different languages as well as the classic Star Trek one and I think anyone loved the Na'vi spoken scenes in Avatar (which I hope will be extended in the second one), on top of all that I think ME deserves that too.
Even though all the different species could speak english for the majority of the film their native languages should at least be mentioned I think.
Not really the biggest issue in such a HUGE project but I'm curious to know what people think about.

Cheers...oh, I mean: keelah se'lai.

Games to movies are not good only because they weren't given competent directors. A competent director can make a great movie with the right source material, and Mass Effect offers infinite possibilities for excellent story telling and interesting characters.

The problem is that a bad trend has been allowed to flourish where mediocre people run with popular games and hash out their own version (another words, a bunch of made up crap inspired by the game) for an unoriginal and half-baked quick fix rather than taking it seriously. Then they paste on the game title even though you could probably give it any title you wanted and people would barely recognize its association with the game it was based off.

If the people involved in these projects actually took the source material to heart and tried to make a movie that was faithful to the game, these movies would be a lot fricken better. It's this pre-conceived notion that video games don't provide good story telling that's killing everything, driven by a pretentious notion that a director can do better than the original. Don't fix something that doesn't need fixing is all I've got to say.

My  point being that if you have a top notch director that takes the Mass Effect Universe and all it has to offer seriously, you will have a good movie. All it takes is a sharp mind for story telling, a commitment to excellence and a perfectionist attitude. If you're willing to put in the effort to make something great, and you've got the sources at your disposal to do it, it will happen.

It won't be First contact War..... And I REALLY hope it won't be.



Shep. Story of the game. Not some prequel crap. How many game-> movie adaptations failed because they had little to do with the game ( or the universe)



ME is a perfect game to be made into a movie. I want it. I want Shep there.



And every time one crybaby "fan" whines how it won't be their shep and it will ruin it for them, I want it even more.

There'sa tiny bit of info somewhere in game that mentions they all speak galactic. Don't ask where. I think I saw something about translator modules too but I'm not sure on that one.

[MrChief]

this will be interesting there are some pretty big names working on this movie so it should be a epic movie... im expecting the best now!

[jeweledleah]

Not sure if its been mentioned before, but having finally seen the newest star trek movie (yes, I live under a rock >_>) I nominate Chris Pine for Commander Shepard.

[Knoxcore]

Any Mass Effect movie is going to require a large budget given the complex special effects needed to create the Mass Effect universe. I would imagine motion capture will be prevalent for alien characters (much like Avatar, Lord of the Rings, etc.).



I'm looking forward to a Mass Effect movie. Frankly, quality sci-fi films have been lacking over the last decade with a few notable exceptions.

[Ice Cold J]

I have to admit: I hope this never happens.

Mass Effect is, in essence, a movie starring, written, and directed by you. THAT's it's big appeal to me. don't take that away by making some B.S. generic plotline with a bad star and an hour-and-a-half to try and cover an epic that should take 10 hours.

[Airozzy]

I don't know why everyone is so angry about this movie. If your a real Mass Effect fan you'd understand that Mass Effect is about choices and your own story. A movie i like listening to someone Else's story. I really enjoy the thought of hearing what other people do in their games. This movie will only show us what the writer's perspective on the options in the game.
