Story
Original stories set in the worlds of iconic video games are featured in this animated anthology series. Video games have made the leap to the screen in a big way, and we’re celebrating the genre with a closer look at over 50 video game adaptations into movies and shows. Clive Standen will reprise his voice role of Demetrius Titus, the main character from the video game Space Marine 2.
They feel like apprentice attempts
Referenced in Film Junk Podcast: Episode 973: Carry-On (2024). The animation is beautiful, that’s undeniable. However, I have a hard time getting excited about such short episodes.
Reeves and Arnie play likable roles
You can’t get completely enthralled because you know it’s over before you can have any sort of connection with the characters. It was nice to see some celebrity involvement. It’s all a bit too experimental and lacking in depth for me.
At least it made me laugh
Also, if I had been given the choice of source material, I think I would have picked a completely different set of games to revere. The Pacman episode was fine, but it was a demonstration of how to push artistic license to the absolute limit. Overall, I found the entire series to be a bit of a letdown.
