2016 could very well be the year when a video game to movie adaption finally works. The genre will definitely be getting a lot of chances, and one of the first out of the gate is Sony's Ratchet & Clank, bringing the Playstation exclusive platform to the big screen. The first clip from the movie has arrived, featuring the first meeting between our lead pair, and it is showing a lot of promise: funny, visually stunning, and chock full of charm. Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself below.
Released: April 29th (U.S.)/ April 28th (IRL/U.K.)
Synopsis: Two unlikely heroes struggle to stop a vile alien named Chairman Drek from destroying every planet in the Solana Galaxy. Ratchet is the last of his kind, a foolhardy "lombax" who has grown up alone on a backwater planet with no family of his own. Clank is a pint-sized robot with more brains than brawn. When the two stumble upon a dangerous weapon capable of destroying entire planets, they must join forces with a team of colorful heroes called The Galactic Rangers in order to save the galaxy. Along the way, they will learn about heroism, friendship, and the importance of discovering one’s own identity.
