2016 was a rough year for the video game adaptation. After Warcraft crashed and burned at the box office, it fell to Justin Kurzel’s Assassin’s Creedto redeem the subgenre. On paper, it should have been a slam dunk. Assassin’s Creed reunites Kurzel with Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard, who had just co-starred in the director’s stunning adap...
Released just two months before The Phantom Menace — and two weeks before The Matrix — the sci-fi fighter pilot flick Wing Commander was always cursed to be overshadowed at the box office. But this is a deeply underrated video game adaptation for one reason: Mark Hamill’s character from the videogames is played by Freddie Prinze Jr. — Ryan Britt
Based on the cult-classic 2008 RPG, Persona 4: The Animation tells the story of a group of charismatic high school students out to find the culprit behind a string of mysterious murders in a small town. With plenty of juicy plot twists, spectacular setpieces, and good old-fashioned teenage hijinks, Persona 4 translates beautifully into a slice-of-l...
There’s perhaps no video game adaptation people love to hate more than Warcraft. Universal had its work cut out adapting one of the densest mythologies in fantasy history. Duncan Jones’ long-gestating epic, while ambitious, does get bogged down by the effort of setting up so much story (there’s a reason its full title is Warcraft: The Beginning). B...
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time could have been a great movie. Unfortunately, it was one of Disney’s many attempts to re-create the success of Pirates of the Caribbean, which saddled the film with unattainable expectations. Absolutely no one in the cast is Middle Eastern, either, which evokes the bygone epics of Hollywood’s golden age in the wo...
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is the rare video game adaptation that perfectly embraces the themes of its source material while also expanding upon them in meaningful ways. Taking place shortly before the events of the game, Edgreunners makes the dystopian open world of Night City feel more vibrant and alive than ever before. Against that backdrop, it wea...
While What We Do in the Shadows made vampires hilarious, Castlevania reinstated the fear these creatures of the night are meant to inspire whilst proving the best anime doesn’t have to come from Japan. An amalgamation of various titles in the Konami franchise, Castlevania on Netflix is as gory as it is glorious with breathtaking animation, impeccab...
Although Milla Jovovich was the only returning cast member for the direct sequel to the first Resident Evil, this movie sequel is easily one of the best video game adaptations for one simple reason. Unlike its predecessor, which essentially reinvented the entire canon from the games, Resident Evil: Apocalypse re-creates the aesthetics of several cu...
Animation disaster struck when the horrifying first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog dropped in April 2019. The blue-furred hero looked more like a creepy alien. So it came as such a shock that the actual movie was so darn good. The final version of Sonic closely resembles the original design we all love, and Ben Schwartz brings his signature infecti...
Based on a VR game of the same name, Werewolves Within is a fun, delightfully zany horror comedy. Set in a Vermont town, the Mishna Wolff-directed film follows a group of people trapped together in the middle of a snowstorm who begin to suspect one of them is a murderous werewolf. Simultaneously tense and silly, the plot is elevated by its comedic ...
