Narrative
This animated anthology series presents original stories set in the worlds of iconic video games. Video games have made a huge leap forward onto the screen, and we’re celebrating the genre by taking a closer look at over 50 video game adaptations into films and shows. Clive Standen reprises his voice role as Demetrius Titus, the protagonist of the video game Space Marine 2.
They feel like an apprentice effort
Referenced in the Film Junk Podcast: Episode 973: Carry-On (2024). The animation is beautiful, that’s for sure. However, I have a hard time getting excited about episodes this short.
Reeves and Arnie both give enjoyable parts
You can’t get fully excited because you know it’s over before you can even connect with the characters. It was nice to see some celebrity involvement. It’s a little too experimental and deep for me.
The Pacman episode was okay
Also, if I were given the choice of source material. I think I would have chosen completely different games. But it was a demonstration of artistic license being taken to its absolute limit.
At least it made me laugh
Overall, I thought the whole series was a bit over the top. 6 for visuals. A guide to all the new movies and shows streaming on Prime Video in the US this month.
