If you appreciate gravity defying fight choreography you would certainly love this movie and the action it portrays. The action sequence shows a lot of parkour that makes it more relatable to the video games. You have Fassbender performing as Aquila in the 15th Century scenes and then delivering the same fight stances concurrently in the present day scenes whilst hooked on the animus (the machine). The action sequence and fight choreography in this film can’t be over looked. But you would certainly appreciate it more if you have ever played any of the games before. You don’t have to be a fan of the gaming franchise to enjoy this film. Right from the start you can easily follow events and nothing seems out of place right through to its climax. The story line is easy to follow and not confusing in anyway. Imagine getting put on a machine that allows you to experience the adventures and memories of your ancestors, how cool is that? The plot for this movie is a very decent attempt at blending technology, fantasy/folklore and adventure without making it seem over exaggerated. Callum discovers he is a descendant 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. In the film, a revolutionary technology that unlocks genetic memories is used to help Callum Lynch (Played by Michael Fassbender, most known as the younger Magneto in the last three X-Men movies.) experience the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th century Spain. The Assassins fight for peace with free will against the Templars who desire to establish peace in the world through control and the removal of free will.Īlthough this is a pure fiction, it passes for a very good plot that backs a very successful game franchise introduced in 2007. The Assassin’s Creed games revolve around the rivalry between two ancient secret societies: the Assassins and the Knights Templar.

Assassin’s Creed on the other hand successfully failed at disappointing us.

So it’s become a bit of a wise thought to only go see a video game themed spin-off movie expecting to be somehow disappointed. Over the years we’ve seen a lot of such failures. Only a few films are able to transition perfectly from video game themes to the big screens without leaving a trail of disappointed fans.
