Ratchet and Clank

Movie Rating: Geoffrey Crété

Before becoming one of the great defenders of the galaxy alongside his faithful Clank, Ratchet was a simple Lombax working in a spacecraft garage. When he learns that the famous Captain Qwark and the Galactic Rangers are looking for a new member to take on Chairman Drek and the diabolical Dr. Nefarious, who have developed a weapon capable of destroying an entire planet, Ratchet decides to sign up. This is the beginning of a great adventure that will make him the hero of the galaxy.

After ten successful video games since 2002, the Ratchet and Clank franchise has launched a major motion picture and an almost simultaneous release of the remake of the first game. The studio behind the Spyro series (whose film adaptation was canceled) may disappoint fans, since the film completely lacks the soul of the game. With its bizarre planets, first contacts with outlandish creatures, overblown scenes of colorful and explosive action, Ratchet and Clank looks like yet another run-of-the-mill animated film, too busy respecting the codes of the genre (an origin story that is too complex to be fun) to really offer a worthy space hero adventure.
