Recently, film adaptations of video games have come out more and more often. The creators attract famous actors and spend millions on creating special effects. But each such film provokes widespread indignation of fans of the original sources, and critics write a lot of devastating reviews.
The record-breaking (among video-game adaptations) start of the film “Sonic in the Cinema”, which collected more than $ 58 million at the American box office the first weekend after the premiere, showed that these films are still able to collect a good box office and find their audience.
In the future, viewers will see the film adaptations of games from the Uncharted, Call of Duty, Monster Hunter, Mortal Combat, and even Minecraft series. These are only those projects that are already at the filming stage.
Perhaps the gulf between the game and movie industries will finally narrow. And in the future, fans will find more and more high-quality adaptation of their favorite games.
With the help of user reviews and ratings, we are trying to figure out which already released films on games are worthy of attention.
