Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix plays like a joyride through Ubisoft’s vast library of classic video game IP.
The massive success of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson books made 20th Century Fox’s plan to adapt them into movies seem like a surefire box office bet.

The Pokémon franchise has always emphasized how, in addition to being powerful brawlers, pocket monsters are intelligent beings with complex feelings. In the past, the Pokémon anime has framed trainers who don’t understand that as villains incapable of becoming true champions.

Hopefully, that’ll be true of all the VFX, too.
