This is actually what you first see when you decide to just watch the game being played in theatre mode.
The whole thing is just like a modern day action movie - lots of shaky camera, quick cuts and loads of zoom in shots. There's a lot of deadpan voice acting with standard sci-fi dialogue. I'm not really the biggest fan of sci-fi so I didn't really enjoy it.
It may be a little too sci-fi actually. Metroid was always more about weird alien jungle-like labyrinths than it was about serious sci-fi stuff. Then again, sci-fi is the closest thing one could probably come to describe the whole Metroid series even though it doesn't really fit the description that well. It's a bit of a dilemma, especially if you were trying to realise it cinematically.
Should Nintendo produce something like this again? I'd like to see if they could improve upon it. I can imagine Metroid having some cinematic potential but I'm thinking of something more along the lines of that movie WALL-E. A producer of "cinematic Metroid" could definitely learn a few things from that film.
