As a fan of the original game I was curious about Sin: The Movie. The original PC game was no masterpiece but it had fun level design good FPS action and a kickass wisecracking hero in John Blade. Reading some of the reviews and ratings from other fans I was cautious about watching this one. The series has been dead in the water since 2006 when the sequel series Sin: Episodes was cancelled. Other than those two games and a planned remaster coming later this year from Nightdive this is the only other piece of media in the series available to fans. So I decided to check it out regardless and see what the fuss or hate in this instance was all about. This only resembles the original game in three departments: the character designs names and the fact that Sinclair is the main villain. As a result itd be easy to constantly scrutinize the differences and compare it negatively with the source material. I decided to just see it as its own thing and try to appreciate it based on its own merits. Well based on what I watched Sin: The Movie has nothing particularly awful about it. At the same time theres nothing particularly good about it either. The plot characters animation etc. are all painfully average. Forgettable is the word Id use to describe it all. Beginning with the plot we have an evil corporation that wants to mess with human DNA and create monsters so a badass cop with a personal vendetta has to take them down. Its been done too many times before to count and nothing new is brought to the table. The plot at least makes sense and the character intentions are made clear to us. John Blade is your usual silent badass character and sadly the other characters are stock too. Elexis Sinclaire the main villain is somewhat interesting at the start mainly due to her viciousness but quickly becomes boring. The art and animation arent awful but for a OVA released in the early 2000s theyre barely average. The one thing I do want to praise is the soundtrack which is shockingly good. It was performed by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra whove also been on the soundtracks for series such as Cowboy Bebop and Hellsing Ultimate. Thats quite the resum. Its the highlight of the OVA and often I would zone out and focus on the music instead of what was happening on the screen because it was more interesting. The soundtrack made every scene better but sadly it couldnt make the OVA itself good enough to recommend. Give the soundtrack a listen but fans of the game can skip this one and Cyberpunk fans are better off watching one of the many better OVAs available such as Cyber City Oedo 808.
