Grammar on the internet is horrible on principle. I blame texting.

I agree that the first contact war would likely best source for a film.

Making a movie about Shepard would be rediculous since the games revolve around the player's Shepard, even if the dialogue is set in stone, being voiced.

That said, I highly expect the Mass Effect movie to be about Shepard, and to suck balls because that's what movies tend to do. Most people in the film industry are uninspired little turtles who hide and snap out at whatever creative property they can get their beaks on.

If it is about the events of ME1 then I have no intention of seeing it. If I want to watch ME 1, I'll play ME 1. With my own Shepard, making my own decisions. They may not amount to much, but they're mine.

And the film would not take anything away from that.

But i would see the film and view it just like i sometimes see vids of other people playing mass effect on youtube..with curiosity.

No, haven't seen so it can't critique it yet until I see it in entirety.

Exactly! Can we see it first before we declare it a disaster? Let's not be like those Fox News pundits who slammed the first video game without ever seeing or having any idea what they were talking about.

Won't be my Shepard, won't look like my Shepard, forum will be flooded with new people, which normally brings out the trolls.

Who said the movie Shepard had to be Canon Shepard? Just treat it as a separate continuity, like the new Star Trek. Problem solved.

Let's guess that the movie is setled on an alternative universe.

Lack of continuity is a major qualm that a lot of people (myself included) have with Star Trek. The writers just make stuff up with no concern for almost anything else in the mythos.

One of the great things about ME is that so far, it has unbroken continuity (in spite of the plot hole whiners). Until the Star Wars prequel trilogy came out, that IP had pretty much unbroken continuity among the movies and numerous book series that came out of it.

Dismissing the desire for internal continuity is a dangerous path for a fresh IP like ME to take.

I'm fully against a movie. I know it's happening and I'm not happy about it. They're going to please exactly four Mass Effect fans with whatever they choose for cast/story/decisions/love interest etc. And they're going to butcher and Hollywood up and cliff note everything else for all the people they want to draw in who have no idea what Mass Effect is.

It's a bad idea.

A bad idea that will make lots of money - hence the movie happening.

*gag*

EDIT:  Unless it's not the Mass Effect story and something the First Contact War or something else, in which case I'd be all for it but I can't imagine why they would do that.

If I told you how I felt about the new star trek I'd be banned.

If it has anything to do with Shepard's story I will not go to see it.

Pretty much this. If it doesn't fit into my canon, it's not worth watching.

Mass Effect movie?! WHO CARES?! I just learned there was a Super Mario Bros movie, I need to go throw up now.

Seriously though: First Contact War would be a good idea, but I'd be much more interested to see something new, something we know next to nothing about: The Protheans and their extinction. All we know is that they lost, and built the Conduit. There's more potential material there.

Either way, I'll watch the Mass Effect movie and love it. Canon Shepard or another story, it's worth watching to me.

Fair point, but I would argue that it will be too difficult for an audience to connect with the Protheans the way that they would with human protagonists. That might make a better book than movie.

^This.

Going to repost something I posted elsewhere (with slight tweaking for audience), so please forgive if it's considered spamming:  

Just to screw with everyone, they should make it about FemShep.  Yep, an ass-kicking blonde who is not afraid to take a guy into her bed.  It's a win-win.  Dudes get their OMG!Boobies from 3 women, chicks get Kaidan.  And I've said it before - totally skip the Virmire choice.  Not the planet or what happens, but the death the player chooses.  3 reasons: 

1.  Leave a nice little surprise for anyone who plays the game after seeing the movie - they will get their WTF
mind-screw moment that is Virmire, and it will be the more shocking.

2. It takes a heavy, and very personal (for players) moment out of the decision.  No one gets upset at one decision becoming canon over another.

3.  You could make Liara and Ashley an item.  Guys get lots o'boobies, and hawt lesbian action.  Shepard gets Kaidan.  Everyone lives happily until ME2 movie.

Oh people, get over yourselves already. Think about it, do you go around your friends house shouting how his/hers Shepard isn't anything like yours and how he/she should have used that particular renegade interrupt right there? It's not like you can't make Joker(from Batman) almost completely different from comic version and still make him awesome, oh wait.

You won't lose ANYTHING whatsoever no matter how the movie turns out to be. Movie canon =/= game canon. *Insert Sheploo "deal with it" image right here*

Sorry about the rant there, I'm a bit thick in the head.

[sedrikhcain]

If your argument against the movie is "It won't be MY Shepard," then honestly, you need to get over yourself and realize that it's a great story that can be told in slightly different ways by many different people.

Step out from behind your king-sized ego for a moment and notice what else is going on in the galaxy besides you.

Ah yes, "other people", we have dismissed that claim!

Actually it'll be a movie about a story that's already been told; I try not to make a habit of buying the same book twice.

[Han Shot First]

I don't want to see any Mass Effect movie unless it gets the resources of similar Sci Fi epics. (Avatar, Star Wars, Tron, the Stark Trek reboot)

Short of that, I'm expecting disappointment regardless of the setting.

Apologies if my opinions and my choices in how I spend my money offends you.  I'll try to do better next time.

Thank God. Someone reasonable.

I mean honestly, have any of you described in Mohak's post ever spoken to anyone in person ever about Mass Effect? Does the conversation turn out like this, like I imagine it would:

Somebody else: "So in my playthrough I did this..."
You: "NO. YOU CAN'T HAVE. i'M THE ONLY ONE WHO'S EVER PLAYED MASS EFFECT AND NO OTHERS HAVE EVER."

Honestly and reasonably speaking: BioWare could make a canon storyline of all three games tomorrow and I wouldn't give a poop. Why? Because I know my game is my game. I don't need others to, nor do I need to insist that it is.
