I'm not talking about making the movie EXACTLY like the game. Yet the very background-story could've made for an interesting movie just because of the twist that those beings are neither aliens nor genetic mutants but spawn from hell itself. Of course the movie could and should never begin and end with the hero bashing and shooting armies of enemies and follow him all the while he does it. It's about the idea behind it. And skipping that was the BIGGEST flaw in an already not-so-clever movie project. If one wants to turn a franchise into a movie, one of the WORST ideas is to drop everything that made the franchise interesting and cool and trying to "invent it new". Never worked, never will.
