The Mist (movie) - did it remind you of anything? (SPOILERS)
So I finally watched this move last night. Now after it is revealed that the military was experimenting on opening a door to another dimension and the disaster was result of this, I couldn't help but think of Half-Life. With all the strange insect and crab like things that came through the portal I was half expecting to see some combine soldiers or Vortigans walk by.
This also made me think that they could easily make a good half-life movie without including Gordon Freeman. They could follow a group of people that are hiding from the head-crabs and combine as they appear in the towns and cities around the world. If they wanted to include Gordon he could be a secondary character that is assisted by the main characters for a short time in the movie.
Any thoughts or insights?
Comments
A HL movie could be made without Gordon, heck, maybe having a movie made based around Barney (or whoever) who talks about Gordon and the legend of the last "free man" (as well as them hearing things he does on the radio or TV) would, maybe, be a better movie.
I wished they had explored the world a little more, especially with the GIANT walking thing they saw near the end. That was a very "Whoa, cool!" moment.
I wouldn't call that "Without Gordon Freeman" by a long stretch.
