Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated Assassin's Creed (2016) in Movies

Nov 10, 2017 (Updated Nov 10, 2017)

Underwhelming

Assassin's Creed is filled with some great action scenes, especially whilst in the animus, and as per usual acting from the leads Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, and Jeremy Irons, is superb.

However, the film may have tried too hard to cater for both fans of the game and newcomers alike, which does not seem possible, and as a result, it failed to engage either audience. The story is a tapestry of old-world mysticism and sci-fi tech that hangs together but also proves hard to follow if you haven't played the games. Despite a high-class cast, it is disorienting, and makes very little sense.

Visually captivating but a paper thin and over blown premise which could have been the basis of a very interesting film.

Book Rating

Android Karenina was definitely a faster read than the original classic. Where before there was a lot of tension, now—thought the tension is still there—there is a lot of comic relief with the robots. Android Karenina is equally as enthralling as Tolstoy's "first novel," but the images of robots running around definitely make it lighter. The 2-inch wide novel isn't quite as… intimidating… with high-tech machinery involved.

The writing, in general, was witty. Tolstoy's words were still clearly seen and recognized, but Winters was able to make his own "quirks" in the story without them sticking out like a sore thumb. They blended right in nicely and made for a very entertaining read.

I loved Android Karenina and I definitely look forward to a re-read.
