Released in cinemas on December 21, 2016, Assassin's Creed, directed by Justin Kurzel, is the film adaptation of the famous video game franchise of the same name. Carried by Michael Fassbender in an intense dual role and by Marion Cotillard, this action-sci-fi film offers immersion in a universe where past and present merge through a revolutionary technology: the Animus. Available on Netflix from October 6, 2024, Assassin's Creed takes us back to 15th-century Spain, following the struggles between two age-old secret organizations: the Assassins and the Templars. A film punctuated by spectacular action scenes and philosophical issues surrounding free will.
Callum Lynch(Michael Fassbender), a criminal condemned to death, is saved by a mysterious organization that offers him a new chance. Thanks to a revolutionary technology called the Animus, Callum can explore the genetic memory of his ancestors and relive the adventures of Aguilar, a member of the Assassins who fought the Knights Templar in 15th-century Spain. By reliving key moments in Aguilar's life, Callum discovers that he belongs to a line of Assassins, a secret society engaged in a thousand-year war against the Templars, who seek to control mankind's free will. Callum must assimilate his ancestor's skills to confront this organization in the present and prevent them from seizing an artifact of unprecedented power.
Assassin's Creed is aimed above all at fans of the video game franchise, who will find here the universe and central themes of the series: the age-old confrontation between the Assassins and the Templars, time travel through genetic memory, and breathtaking action sequences. But the film will also appeal to fans of action and sci-fi films, with its rich historical settings, choreographed battles, and reflections on free will and memory. With a star-studded cast including Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard and Jeremy Irons, Assassin's Creed combines epic adventure with more philosophical issues, a mix that sets it apart from other video game adaptations. However, some viewers may be put off by the complex plot, which blends past and present, requiring a certain amount of attention.
Available on Netflix from October 6, 2024, Assassin's Creed offers a breathtaking adventure that skilfully blends history and science fiction. With outstanding performances from Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard, the film plunges you into a secret, violent war across the centuries. From spectacular parkour scenes in medieval Spain to contemporary tensions between the Assassins and the Templars, Assassin's Creed is ambitious, visually stunning entertainment. An adventure to discover or rediscover for all fans of action and science-fiction films.
