As referenced in Film Junk Podcast: Episode 973: Carry-On (2024)
Chronology
Original stories set in the world of iconic video games are featured in this animated anthology series. Video games have made the leap to the screen in a big way, and we’re celebrating the genre with a closer look at over 50 video game adaptations in movies and shows. Clive Standen will reprise his voice role as Demetrius Titus, the title character in the video game Space Marine 2. The episode takes place after the events of the game.
They feel like apprenticeships
The animation is beautiful, that’s for sure. Still, I struggle to get excited about episodes this short. You can’t be fully engrossed, like you know it’s over before you can even get any kind of connection to the characters. It was nice to see some celebrity involvement.
The Pacman episode was okay
Reeves and Arnie both play enjoyable roles. It’s just that it’s all a little too experimental and shallow for me. Plus, if I had the chance to choose the source material. I guess I would have chosen a completely different set of games to follow.
It made me laugh at least
But it was a demonstration of artistic license being taken to its absolute limit. Overall, I found the entire series a bit underwhelming. 6 for visuals.. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
