This animated anthology series features original stories set in iconic video game worlds. Video games have made a huge leap onto the screen, and we’re celebrating the genre with a closer look at over 50 video game adaptations in film and TV. Clive Standon will reprise his voice role as Demetrius Titus, the protagonist of the video game Space Marine 2. The episode takes place after the events of the game. Mentioned in Film Junk Podcast: Episode 973: Carry-On (2024). The animation is beautiful, that’s for sure. However, I have a hard time getting excited about episodes that are so short. They feel like rehearsals for an apprentice. You can’t get fully excited because you know it’s over before you can even form any kind of connection with the characters. It was nice to see celebrities at the event. Reeves and Arnie play nice roles. It’s all a little too experimental and shallow for me. Also, if given the option to choose the source material. I think I would choose a completely different set of games for the honor. The Pacman episode was ok. But it was a demonstration of artistic freedom taken to the absolute limit. At least it made me laugh. Overall, I found the whole series a bit disappointing. 6 for visualization.
