If you’re like me and grew up playing Assassins Creed games, you might have been a mixture of worried and excited when you heard about this movie. Video games with cult followings being turned into mainstream blockbuster movies don’t usually turn out for the best.

Given Rotten Tomatoes’ 17%, I was afraid this applies to the Assassins Creed movie too. However, it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. In fact, it was quite enjoyable.

For one, the cast is extremely massive. From Marion Cotillard (who looks like an exceptionally hot scientist) to Michael Fassbender, Jeremy Irons and Denis Menochet. It might have been slightly overcast I guess, but it was still awesome seeing Marion explain how the Animus works and Jeremy Irons trying to push it beyond the safe limits.

I waited patiently for the “Leap of Faith” moment in 4DX, and I wasn’t disappointed, gleefully giggling and clapping as the chairs moved and gusts of wind blasted from the blowers on the ceiling and behind your ears.

Many scenes in the movie are beautifully reminiscent of chapters in the games, such as a daring horse chariot race, jumping over city streets and rooftops as well as silently creeping up on a target and planting the assassin’s blade in their throat.

It was a bit too long though, and not enough was explained about the Animus and how “genetic memory” is supposed to work and be useful. It’s not a movie that’ll change your life or make you think of it months later, but it was a lot of fun for me as an Assassins Creed gamer seeing all the glory of the game visualized on the big screen with all the bells and whistles of 4DX.

I’d recommend you see it in 4DX with other fellow gamers, but expect to drop some of your popcorn with the gratuitous fight scenes and extreme acrobatic feats. I’ll try to always recommend movies I think deserve to be watched in 4DX here. Enjoy!
