Silent Hill: Revelation 3D Coming To Theaters

ComingSoon is reporting that the team behind the Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D is threatening to make a sequel to the abysmal Silent Hill movie franchise. The sequel is set for 2012 and roughly follows the plot 2003's Silent Hill 3, focusing on female protagonist Heather Mason as she treks her way through Silent Hill. One of the most interesting things about Silent Hill 3 is the way it ties back to the original Silent Hill game. It's curious to see if the movies try to do the same. We here at Aggrogate are super excited about this, as we were huge fans of the last Resident Evil movie. I'm glad this is the direction that gaming adaptations are going. Lord knows we don't need any more visionaries like Edgar Wright making movies like Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Another win for mediocrity in 3D!

Review: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (Spoiler: the audience wins)

If you like video games, you're going to love Scott Pilgrim.

If you like comic books, you're going to love Scott Pilgrim.

If you're a child of the 80's, you're going to love Scott Pilgrim.

And in all of those cases, you're probably going to look at your own life through a bittersweet lens after the credits roll. This review doesn't have any big spoilers, but it looks deep into the movie's themes, so buckle up.

On the surface, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (based on graphic novel series of the same name) is an action-comedy-romance with heavy use of video game references and effects. Imagine if Kevin Smith (at least, Kevin Smith in the 90's) teamed up with Suda 51 to make a romantic comedy. You probably caught the gist of the film through the commercials and the trailer: Toronto resident and career slacker Scott Pilgrim has to fight seven evil exes to be able to date the girl he's fallen in love with. That's pretty much the concept.
