Review of Ark

Ark (2005)
5/10
Ark: Ugly but bareable
24 December 2017
First of all I need to say that considering the budget of Ark it looks really fugging ugly, I mean seriously it was made in 2005 there is no excuse. Its like a cross between the childrens tv series Reeboot (1994) and a 90's Resident Evil cut scene.

Despite this the story initially is sound, it tells a convoluted sci-fi trope filled tale that I found myself engaged in. Sadly the further into the movie you go the worse it gets and it builds to a finale that on paper should have been great but in reality was rather underwhelming.

Regardless Ark is a watchable piece and I believe it will really appeal to many especially those into their sci-fi. In many places it reminded me of several Final Fantasy universes and their villians, just not enough.

Starring James Woods this is a harmless sci-fi fluff piece that by all rights should have been better and looked considerably better.

The Good:

James Woods

Interesting concept

The Bad:

Shoddy animation

Trails off a bit the further in it goes
