After receiving a huge amount of knowledge and assassin skills, Callum Lynch stood up against the opposing organization Knights Templar, which has been the enemy of the Assassins ever since.

Assassin’s Creed, although it contains many “crusts”, is still a spiritual dish worth enjoying. It’s worth watching for an hour and a half, not just an aesthetic copy of the blockbuster game.

Tomb Raider (2018)

Tomb Raider is inherently one of the most attractive and famous action and adventure game series around the world. The plot of the game revolves around Lara Croft, a young female “archaeologist” who has a hobby of discovering secret lands and mysteries around the world.

The Pokémon brand was born in Japan 23 years ago with hundreds of animated movies and games. But Detective Pikachu will be the most different movie ever, not based on a pre-existing story.

Instead of using the image of Pikachu and the original calf Pokémon from the game like many previous animated series, this live-action film will use 3D effects to carefully care for the images of the characters. Perhaps that’s why the film has created a whole new style for Pokémon, bringing the most authentic emotions to the audience.
