Reaction: Not the numbers we were looking for at the studio. We're not sure exactly what was at fault, honestly. Lack of star power in the leading role? Lack of interest in the game series? The rating? Maybe it was all of those things...
"The film successfully captures the vivid imagery that made the video game stand out in the first place. Sure, it's story gets lost between scenes of creepy bad guys and endless exposition, but I still found myself impressed by the images director Tim Miller was displaying." - Clark Haverford, Nerdist
"Bioshock is so jam-packed with exposition and back story that it's hard to find the actual plot of the film. Discovering backstory may work in video game format, but in film you need to keep the narrative first and foremost." - Ken Decker, Denver Post
"Sebastian Stan is wasted on a blank slate of a lead character, one who seemingly has no goals in the story other than wandering around the fantastical ruins he finds and slowly learning about it." - Dave Vrosky, Den of Geek

Rated R for disturbing images, graphic violence and some language.
