I am not a gamer. I am old enough to be your grandmother. I have loved Science Fiction my entire life. It is not often that a fictional world or premise captures my imagination.
Wow. The story concept was brilliant. Smart. Clever. Definitely not derivative. I could see where this fictional world would be quite entertaining to spend real time in.
The action sequences were well done. Yes, there is CGI, but a great deal of the action was real people doing real stunts. The Parkour sequences were very very good. The slack line jumps and transitions were great. And the "Leap of Faith" was heart-stopping, and incredibly beautiful.
The costuming was exquisite. Tiny tiny details, literally hours and hours of handwork that I needed to "pause" the movie to examine. And the costumes worked. I mean that they were functional, and allowed the actors and stunt people to move. The costumes were not merely good to look at. They worked like real athletic clothing, and still had very nice flow and drape.
I like the touch of post-processing, especially with the horses. Made them look just very slightly like horses in MMOGs. And better yet, the actors looked like they actually knew how to ride, and ride well. That was very satisfying. (I have horses. I hate movies where people obviously cannot ride. Pet peeve.)
Overall, I will watch it again. And probably again. Good story, good movie.

As an avid Assassin Creed gamer... I was very disappointed in this film. The movie was not developed to actuality AC in the “real world” ... for instance you already have this hot , built guy like Michael fassbender who finds out his ancestor is an assassin. But it really doesn’t matter he’s built and looks like michale fassbender bc he just needs to strap himself to a bed to mentally watch what happened in his ancestor’s past. The problem once he’s strapped in it’s just like watching continuous cinematic gameplay of one of the assassin creed games. Why do I need to see an overly vfx version of gameplay when I can watch that on YouTube? They should have told a story of a guy who has to learn the tools of becoming an assassin like you do when ur playing a game. I think they also should have cast someone more relatable to the everyday man who came from the hood or like a more urban area like Chicago or Bronx....anyway if ur into the games like me... ur better off playing them or watching the cinematic gameplay on YouTube...

I read mixed reviews on this movie, so wasn’t sure if I wanted to pick up this movie myself. I ultimately went ahead and ordered it, and I was glad I did.
First, a disclaimer - the stories within this movie and the Assassin’s Creed games are fiction. As the opening disclaimer in the game reads: “Inspired by historical events and characters. This work of fiction was designed, developed, and produced by a multicultural team of various faiths and beliefs.” Don’t get upset if either the movie or the games misrepresent historical events or organizations and their motivations. It’s fiction.
—————
Some spoilers for those who have never played the games (skip to the paragraph with the two asterisks if you do not want to read the spoilers):
The story revolves around an ongoing war between two secret societies: The Assassin’s and The Templars. The basic idea is that the Templars wish to achieve peace in the world through order (their order of course), and the Assassin’s basically fight to maintain people’s freedom. Those aligned with the Templars in present day have established a company called Abstergo which has developed computer technology that allows users the ability to relive our ancestor’s memories. In the video game, this is achieved through a computer program with VR technology called the Animus. In the movie, the Animus has been reimagined as a hulking machine with an arm that connects to the user, allowing them to perform many of their ancestor’s maneuvers firsthand. The idea behind the Animus remains the same, though. Abstergo has found certain people are best suited to relive these memories, and a direct descendant to the specific ancestor can provide the best connection (or synchronization, as they refer to it).
Now some spoilers for the movie:
The movie centers on a character named Cal Lynch, who supposedly is a direct descendant to Aguilar (who lived in the late 1400s), the last person on record as having possession of the “Apple of Eden”, a device said to have caused man’s first disobedience. The Templars want the device, because with it, they believe they can remove people’s free will, bringing peace to the world through order. Cal, a man with a troubled childhood and prone to violence, is brought to Abstergo against his will and is hooked up to the Animus so he can relive the memories of Aguilar to see where he hid the Apple of Eden (so the Templars will know where to find it in present day). Since he is at Abstergo against his will, gradually learning why he is there, he struggles with both helping them and enduring the Animus itself (evidently being hooked up to the device unwillingly can cause some mental side effects).
—————
* * Now my review on the movie. I thought the story was done well. Obviously with an origin movie (especially one with the complexities like the story behind the Assassin’s Creed franchise), there is going to be a lot of dialog to help explain the organizations, characters, and events in the games. That said, I wish there were less scenes that takes place in present day, and more action scenes in the past. The scenes from 1492 are amazing! I especially liked some of the references to the games (such as the wagons of hay, the eagle screech as Aguilar performs a leap of faith, etc). I did notice several instances throughout the movie where the scene would freeze for effect. Micheal Jackson would do the same in his performances, and called it “sizzle”. The idea was to build up the audience’s anticipation for what was to come, but in the movie, to me it breaks the pace of the movie, slowing it down, and making it feel more drawn out (and making the movie feel longer than it is).
In the end, for the price, it’s a nice movie to add to your collection, but if you are even remotely unsure how you’ll like the movie, I’d recommend renting the movie first. I hope they make another movie. Now with the origin story established, they can concentrate more on the scenes that take place in the past.

Mis expectativas no eran altas para está película, ya que no fue bien recibida por parte de los crítico de cine, sin embargo, me lleve una muy grata sorpresa. Aunque no califíca para ser la mejor de su género, la verdad es muy buena para pasar una tarde bastante entretenida. Es de las mejores películas basadas en videojuegos que he visto. Además, la calidad del vídeo (versión 4K HDR) y el audio (Dolby Atmos) son excelentes. A la historia le pongo un 8/10 y a la calidad del audio/vídeo un 9.5/10. La recomiendo en su versión UHD 4K, es de las mejores en este formato. Recomendable (4.5/5).

DVD has 4K Digital Version in iTunes
Reviewed in Canada on May 22, 2018Verified Purchase
Bought the older DVD and registered the Digital HD card included with iTunes (also allowed for Google Play redemption) and was surprised to see that it gave access to the 4K HDR version (have to have a newer Apple TV to access). The physical card warns redemption, "may not be valid after 2019." Was impressed with the 4K upgrade enough to write a review, the movie itself was not impressive.

A mi si me gusto la película, para ser adaptación es muy buena, para redimir el código de descarga digital, es necesario usar VPN con dirección de EE.UU., de lo contrario no te va a dejar, aparte la única aplicación que conozco y funciona en Mexico es flixster
