I have the same feeling after watching this, as I did the Mario movie and the Angry Birds before that…
I’m going to remain skeptical, but somewhat optimistic that this will be relatively watchable and hopefully not a complete dumpster fire like Borderlands…
It really depends on where you draw the line e in the sand, I suppose?
If you’re not too heavily invested in the game series (so you’re willing to accept retcons/story divergence), and are able to switch your brain off for ~100 minutes you’ve got a decent enough chance that you probably won’t hate it.
More than anything, it just has a lot more in common with the ‘bad old days’ of video game adaptations (live action Mario Bros., anything Uwe Boll touched), than the newer crop of more faithful/reverent adaptations (Sonic, animated Mario etc.).
Man all I want is the ability to own more than one freighter so I don’t have to give up my Star Destroyer to get a pirate dreadnaught.
That and having a galactic empire fleet would be sick asf imo
But yeah I think World’s Pt. 2 was quietly delayed over the summer, as a YouTube video I was watching pointed out that the article announcing Part 1 used to say Part 2 was coming later this summer before later chanting to later this year.
If I had to guess, this was supposed to be World’s part 2, but they wanted more time to work on it so they released what they had as this update.
Big movie industry seems to be one of the most rigid forms of media. Every time I notice the same cinematic/presentational tricks used again and again to invoke the same feelings/emotions in viewer. This is visible in movies themselves but in teasers/trailers it’s done in some kind of heavyweight refined form. Minecraft deserves better than those overused formulas.
That’s because these people learn the same cookie-cutter techniques at film school and start writing scripts in large groups right after getting their arts degree. Identity has been beaten out of them.
Obviously main idea for this movie was just to have some minecraft stylistic and to be a cash grab. Creating interesting story was last on the priorities list.
I’ve actually enjoyed the recent “Witcher 3” AC games and was hoping this would be kinda like that with a Star Wars skin, but the bigger emphasis on stealth makes it seem like it isn’t. Good thing I have AC Shadows to look forward to!
I’m not defending Ubisoft games, but I don’t get why people have such high expectations of them. I don’t recall the last Ubisoft game I played, but they seem like chill podcast games to me, I just turn my brain off and just take in the scenery.
