Review of Assassin's Creed (2016) by Tensa2341 — 21 Dec 2016

I thought this movie was a fine made film for Assassin's Creed fans and audiences that want a decent action flick. There were a few problems with it but I believe my money was well spent.

Story - The movie is set in the same world of the video games on 2016. The main Protagonist is Callum Lynch that has connections with the Assassin Order that has been at war with the Templar's throughout centuries. Callum is forced to go onto the Animus, a machine that is programmed to relieve the subject ancestors memories through Genetic DNA. The lead of this project is Sophia Rikkin, a scientist that will lead Callum to one of the pieces of Eden known as the Apple of Eden for her order the Templars. One my person note I thought the story was thought out real well as it helped us connect Callums understanding of his purpose and the issues Sophia Rikkin was going through. The few problems with the story though is that the side characters introduced didn't have enough screen time to care and that the memories visited during the Spanish Inquisition weren't long enough to care for the Assassin Agulair. Setting- One of the few best things of the film was that it recreated the lore of the Assassin's Creed into perfection. Everything I saw felt natural as if it was nostalgia. The color of the film too created a atmosphere basing on the scenes that were shown. Acting- The acting was done well enough to help the viewer be entertained though there were some flat acting from the few associates of Callums and the Abstergo employees.

Overall the film was made well enough to make me entertained. It's not a film for everyone but I do recommend watching it to see for yourself if you like it or not. Some films don't deserve to be seen like After Earth but some other like this is deserved to be seen at least once.
