Parkour, assassination, eagle, leap of faith, if you are watching these, it's a great honor that this popcorn movie is worth watching. Whether it's the running city, the cool 2vN battle, or the wide range of vision from the Eagle perspective, it can satisfy your eyes.
But if you watch it as an ordinary audience, who will you think it is? What are they doing? Who is this? Who wants to save the world? Why did he kill him? The 2-hour chapter can't accommodate a thousand years of history, nor can it let go of the grudges between the Templar and the Brotherhood of Assassin, which can't reveal the First Civilization, Golden Apple and the pursuit of faith. In the end, it can only flatten the characters monotonically, leaving behind the Knights Templar and the Brotherhood of Justice who have full ambitions to control the world, and the audience who are confused.
If you watch it as a game player, you will be even more confused. In addition to automatically brain-compensating tasks, synchronization rate, two-person collaboration and UI interface, the rest is full of tragedies! What? Is they in 2017? What, Animus just developed? How did the Knights Templar become an ambitious? Why is Abstergo still a small pharmaceutical company? What the hell is that robotic arm that looks silly and full of industrial age feeling? Why are there so many assassins in Abstergo's medical department? What about the others in the Assassin Group? A comparison of the game's timeline can solve some questions, but more, Ubisoft's feature is indeed: BUG.
The following is a review of the realistic plot of the game series. The whole story revolves around the Millennium War between the Templar and the Brotherhood of Assassin. It is not right or wrong, but just a difference in ideas: order and freedom. The Templar pursues order, while the Brotherhood of Assassin pursues freedom. Both have been extreme in the past years, which makes it seem so hateful that the previous few Knights Templars were, and it has also changed over time, and there is no right or wrong in the end. Then it came to modern times. One, two, three, and three, the protagonists of five games were Desmonds. They were captured by Abstergo to perfect Animus and extract genetic memory to find Golden Apple. Then they confronted Abstergo and saved the world to prevent the arrival of the end of the world in 2012. In the end, the dead soul (consciousness) was imprisoned and the body was studied by Abstergo slices as a prop to trace back history. Later, the players were Abstergo employees and a player involved in the event (Abstergo made the game, which was already at the global trust level).
So, the movie was adapted in a mess! First of all, the timeline is not up to the right. The first, second and third generations of the game were before 2012, and the fourth generation can be seen from the easter egg of the watchdog next door. The fifth and sixth generations are also similar. At this time, Abstergo is about to become a global company like an umbrella, and its technical level is also extremely developed. Animus is the third and even the fourth generation.The game is consoled, and the movie is 2017, and the development of Animus has just begun.
Speaking of Animus, I have to complain that the very small login device in the game (from the bed to the recliner to a helmet or even glasses) has become a huge robotic arm in the movie. It looks very majestic but useless. Although it can be holographically imaged, the visual effect in the movie is not perfect, it looks very boring, it is simply a crude prototype, not to mention that this was overloaded and downtime when it was the first time that it was fully synchronized in the faith. What is the value of this thing? It's even better than the game's enemy. At least the game's enemy only allows the protagonist to have memories, and this is also helpful for drills. It's simply a ill.
By the way, in order to explain this thing, a lot of space has been used to explain it, but, however, it is useless to explain it if it is off the normal track.
In addition, a major bug in the movie plot, is the purpose of finding Golden Apple to seek complete human genetic code? Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow? Are you teasing me? Friends who have played games know that the so-called "golden apple" exists more than one, and it is not necessarily in the shape of an apple. Its function is completely different: it is a liaison with the First Civilization (who don't know it is better to treat it as a super-tech lost civilization)! Well, side effects can affect human thinking and other things. It was already 2017 at that time. Desmon has been fighting with you for many years and has been sliced by you. He has also seen Golden Apple many times. Why do he think that this is the genetic code? I can only say that this is a parallel world, and the game is just a parallel world where the technology tree has been deflected.
The famous saying in Assassin's Creed, "Everything is empty and everything is acceptable" has also been subtlely guided and even weakened by the director or screenwriter. It is just as an optional creed to act as a life mentor, but it has been greatly strengthened to contribute everything for the task. Seeing this, Altaïr must have been a slut, stabbing his companion to death. Another core concept, "blood source effect", is also understood as a dialogue with ancestors, and then the Fasha slams punched himself twice in the room, which is simply a waste of complaints.
In addition, the film further strengthens the religious atmosphere, which looks like the defender of Christianity (Knights Templar) and the Islamic patron god (Brother of Assassins), leading the ancient confrontation between the two to religious conflicts. Although the assassins originated from the old men in the mountains in the Middle East, they really have nothing to do with religion, and they are not the natural murderer mentioned in the game.
In general, a movie says that the so-called light defended by the Assassin Group led by the Fair Shark is the freedom to use violence at will, and the so-called assassin blood is the killing instinct. Their meaning of existence is to defend the Apple of Eden from being obtained by the Knights. This is obviously a dwarf of the Assassin's core values, and they and the KnightsLike the regiment, it takes it as its mission to maintain the highest civilization. For example, in a generation, Altaïr's first mission after losing his identity was to assassinate nine people related to the Crusades and upgrade them to the Holocaust, and to bring peace to the people by killing these militants.
Similarly, the Knights were also dwarfed. Although the abruptness of the modern Knights Templar at the end gave the assassin the rationality of acting arbitrarily, it is obviously inappropriate to position the Knights Templar as an ambitious character standing at the top of human civilization. The Knights and the Brotherhood of Assassin are two sides of the same body, just like light and darkness, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong. According to the logic in the film, one side is an ambitious person and the other side is a killer. Both have been fighting for thousands of years because of one broken apple, which is simply an insult to the audience's IQ.
Such a movie that can only be viewed as a parallel world is simply offending the audience (not telling a story well) and offending the players (subverting the traditional worldview). A good IP will produce such a mentally retarded movie, so it’s better to lose your brain, throw away the settings, bring popcorn, and watch it with your eyes.
