Just watching the game cutscenes stitched together on youtube would've made a better movie. Confused and incoherent direction in all aspects from scenes to script, there is little good that can be said about the film. The music is great, Alice is cute, and that's about it. It couldn't capture the subtle eeriness of the treehouse and its foreboding undertones, nor was it able to develop the characters or their relationships enough for the emotional moments, which were gut wrenching in the game, to have any sort of impact. Just a few very loosely game inspired scenic similarities without any grasp of the substance it ... used to have. There are music videos of ingame songs with more meaningful development than what I just watched: a haphazard collection of uneventful scenes sometimes accompanied by great music with little connection.

I fully believe it's possible to tell a great story with just music. This movie though, doesn't have the first clue as to how to begin accomplishing that.
