a5c7b9f00b Through a revolutionary technology that unlocks his genetic memories, Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) experiences the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar de Nerha, in 15th Century Spain. Callum discovers he is descended from a mysterious secret society, the Assassins, and amasses incredible knowledge and skills to take on the oppressive and powerful Templar organization in the present day. This is the quest of the Templars searching the mysterious relic called &#39;the apple of Eden&#39; which holds the key to controlling mankind&#39;s free will itself and an assassin&#39;s attempt to stop them. I found myself pretty nonplussed with this movie. I have played the games but the movies story certainly didn&#39;t play out quitewell. No characters from the scenes set in the past were really fleshed out at all, they didn&#39;t really have any character to speak of and that was certainly one of the strengths of the video games. Jumping back and forth from the past to the present during fight scenes was quite distracting and took away more than it added. Really not sure why they would let all the assassins eat lunch together, don&#39;t know would good they thought might come from that. Overall it wasn&#39;t the worst film ever, it looked good visually and the acting was fine but it felt like more of a wasted opportunity than anything to shout about. If you are normal person and actual enjoy movies because they are movies, then you will enjoy this. The user reviews say it all.I have played all the games in the Assassin&#39;s Creed series, and extremely enjoyed this movie. It did justice to the games while telling a familiar but new story. The action and stunts were fantastic, and offered plenty visually. I will be the first to admit playing the games does make it easier to understand some of the concepts and ideas in the film, but overall they do enough without treating the audienceidiots. You can go watch LaLa Land if you really want to listen to critics. But I know which movie I&#39;d prefer to see.<br/><br/>Look how easy it is to be a critic, its taken me two minutes to write this. Do yourself a favor, don&#39;t jump on the bandwagon, see the movie yourself, enjoy it and have your own opinion. The relentless gloom can feel oppressive, but there’s plenty of ambition here, especially in the layered storytelling and woozy sense of time and place, with plenty of soaring aerial shots that nod quietly to the all-seeing eye of a computer game.
