Quake II Movie

The previous story mentioned a new distribution of the Strange Company's Quake II movie, Eschaton: Nightfall. This prompted me to re-download the second installment in this four part Eschaton series based in the world of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos and Pagan Publishing's Delta Green because I'd had problems with the RAR compression they were using in previous attempts to run it. The new distribution worked, and I have to say, that this is really wild stuff. The audio is a bit muddy, and my American ears had trouble following all the British-accented dialog, but the effort that went into this movie is evident throughout, with plot, sets, dialog, and action all getting equal attention. It's a bit odd having this kind of movie be so dialog heavy (you spend a lot of time looking at models talking without their lips moving), but the couple of action sequences make it all worthwhile, with great looking hand-to-hand combat, and a boss monster confrontation that outdoes many games.
