Netflix -- because it evidently doesn't have enough things to get excited about -- has announced that it is working with the Jim Henson Company to produce a 10 episode prequel to the classic film The Dark Crystal, called The Dark ...   read

All I can really do when I hear about any video game adaptation is step back, chuck any expectations out the window, and say "well, I hope it's not awful." That's exactly what I did this morning when I heard there was going to be a Witcher&...   read

The first full trailer for Blade Runner 2049 has finally landed giving us the best look yet at what the Ridley Scott produced/Denis Villeneuve directed film has in store... and I can't say I'm all the enticed. To be fair I didn't...   read

[Ed Note: Film Review]  As reviled as it is (justifiably or not), Prometheus deserves a little pass for being unlike its Alien siblings in large part because of its branding. It may be in the same canon, but it&rsqu...;   read

If there's one upcoming video game adaptation that actually makes sense, it's Gears of War. Its visuals are pretty much perfect for adaptation, and Hollywood sure loves stories where big beefy men and women shoot a bunch of aliens. I know G...   read

It kind of sucks we're still waiting on a great videogame adaptation, and by the sounds of the upcoming Rampage film, we're going to wait a lot longer. Directed by Brad Peyton (San Andreas), and starring Dwayne Johnson and Malin Ackerman, y...   read

When the first Guardians of the Galaxy hit, I'm not sure any of us we're really prepared for it being as fantastic as it was. We weren't prepared for a team of mostly unknown superheroes being turned into one of Marvel's most popu...   read

Last year at the Tribeca Film Festival, I was invited to a special preview of a semi-interactive non-movie non-game hybrid called Allumette, which would have its world premiere a few days later. It was a forty-five-minute solo session where...   read

The Resident Evil films aren't great by any means, but there's something to be said about how much it appeals to its fans. I may not like any of them, but I've still watched all six of the films so far. Because despite being inane a majorit...   read

Like most major horror franchises, the Resident Evil series has more films in it than it probably needed to. But unlike most horror film series, there's been a single story strung along through the franchise and it's finally come to an...   read

Video game movies have had it tough for like, ever really. I've seen some competent ones, I've seen some that bordered on good, but I still haven't seen a great adaptation. I'm not sure what's to blame for all of their failures, but perhaps...   read

When I sat down to watch Assassin's Creed for Destructoid's sister site, Flixist, I was the only one at the screening. The film just released today, yet its bad scores have scared folks away. Well, I'm here to tell you that those scores wer...   read

Final Fantasy and uncanny-valley-pushing animated movies have had a mixed history at best, but with Final Fantasy XV getting the ol' delay-o-rama you might be hankering for a fix. That's where you might consider the spin-off film ...   read

Hi, Destructoid! I'm back again to let you know that we just reviewed Warcraft over at Flixist (Yes, Dtoid has a sister movie site. Yes, we're awesome. Yes, come read our words.) In case you didn't know Warcraft is a movie based o...   read

Hello! Long time no see. How's kicks? I just reviewed the new Ratchet & Clank movie over at Destructoid's sister site Flixist and thought you fine folks might be interested in it given that it's a movie based on a video game, and t...   read

Hi! Nick Valdez over at Flixist has just reviewed Hitman: Agent 47, a film starring Rupert Friend as a silent but deadly super agent in the silent but deadly rebootquel to the silent but not deadly at all 2007 film. Here's a little bit of w...   read

Hi! Nick Valdez over at Flixist has just reviewed Pixels, a film starring Adam Sandler and some video games you might have heard of. Here's a little bit of what he thought:  I really have no idea where to start with this. Usually when...   read

Being that I'm covering Sundance Film Festival for Flixist (Dtoid's hot younger sister site that is totally legal and wants your number) this week, I had the great displeasure of watching Virtually Heroes. For those unfamiliar with the film...   read

If you've seen the trailer for Guillermo Del Toro's upcoming film, Pacific Rim, you might notice a little someone popping in to lend a guest voice. Yep, Portal's classic crazed computer GlaDOS is making a cameo appearance -- ...   read

Hello! I've just reviewed Disney's new animated flick Wreck-It Ralph over with the fine and handsome people over at Flixist. Here's a little taste of what I thought: Almost immediately, there's a weird dissonance in Wreck-it Ralp...   read

Matthew Razak was scheduled to promote the review for Silent Hill: Revelations 3D over on Flixist, but apparently his stupid office has Destructoid blocked. Can't think why! In any case, it falls to me to do the cross-pollination that makes...   read

Man, the more I hear about Wreck-It Ralph, the more excited I get. The Disney CGI film starring John C. Reilly as a Donkey Kong-esque villain-turned-hero has been hitting all the right buttons. I've been waiting for "the catch," that one e...   read

Destructoid's friendly, neighborhood movie site Flixist is covering the Japan Cuts Film Festival in New York all this week (along with the New York Asian Film Festival all last week) and to kick off the events they've got an epic review of ...   read
