Finished watching Assassin's Creed, directed by Justin Kurzel and staring Michael Fassbender, Essie Davis, Brian Gleeson, Brendan Gleason and Marion Cotillard. The film opens up in Spain during the Inquisition as assassin Aguilar de Nerha (Michael Fassbender) is pledging his allegiance to the Brotherhood as he is give his first mission. The film that transitions to the present after a flash back of Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) seeing the murder of his mother (Essie Davis) at the hands of his farther (Brian Gleeson and Brendan Gleason), as Callum is being set to a room in a prison to be executed for murder. However after being pronounced dead scientist Sophia Rikkin (Marion Cotillard) takes Callum to the Animus project within the Abstergo Foundation where he discovers to be alive as Sophia hopes to use Callum in order to see the memories of his ancestor, Aguilar de Nerha to find an artefact known as the Apple of Eden. Overall this was a decent film as it takes a very style over substance approach as the different locations and the extremely well choreographed fight scenes are great. However the story while being very interesting doesn't contain enough character interactions or development to further the story for the characters as the film focuses more on its spectacle. The aesthetic of inquisition Spain is great as a lot of detail went into its design and pays of incredibly well which the addition only Spanish being spoken during the time the film is in the setting helps to show how much work went into make the world feel very authentic. 6/10.
