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 films and shows. Clive Standen will voice the main character Demetrius Titus in the video game Space Marine 2. The episode takes place after the events of the game.. Reference to Movie 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 an apprenticeship. You can’t get fully engrossed because you know it’s over before you can even connect with the characters. It was nice to see some celebrity involvement. Reeves and Arnie play likable roles. It’s all too experimental and lacking in depth for me. Also, if I had been given the choice of source material. I think I would have chosen a completely different set of games to honor. The Pacman episode was o.k. But it was a demonstration of the absolute limits of artistic license. It at least made me laugh. Overall, I found the entire series to be a bit underwhelming. 6 for the visuals.
