The Mass effect series was in its hey day one of the most beloved series on the Console market, having amazing gun play interlaced in a complex world and story that grew more interesting as the games went on. And excluding the most recent title the games prided themselves on there ability to make the player have tough decisions that had no real right answer. Now I will say that I genuinely thought this movie captured that what mass effect is all about, and this is why. See when it comes to the movie I will be the first to admit that the art directionwas not the best adaptation of the source material, and the majority of the characters in the movie had private Jenkins levels of development. But the movie makes up for all of that with its story, the story of a man like commander Shepard who fought against impossible odds against the collectors in a believable scenario that any veteran of the mass effect series would tell you canonically makes perfect sense. But the real reason why I think liked the story is that the ending truly captured a mass effect moment. When Vega had to chose who to save I was genuinely surprised at the direction the movie chose to take, and respected the movie for not sugar coating the impact that Vegas choice had on both him and the two surviving members of the colony. In short the reason why i like this movie is that unlike mass effect 3, the most villified ending of all time, the ending felt like it was from a mass effect game, hard decisions and all.
