As a life long fan of the Ratchet And Clank video game series, this film disappointed me drastically. The fact that they tried to recreate the first games story while changing a lot of it was just a terrible idea. A lot of the things that made the first games story so great was missing and got straight up changed. Not only that, but this film is a lot more kiddish than the games. This film just ruins the whole feel of Ratchet and Clank and went a completely different route that made it kiddish and pretty much ruined instead of actually focusing on the crucial parts of the original games story. This film cut me deep as it took the story from the original game and ruined it. And because of that, I can't recommend this to anyone. And for those who love/loved Ratchet and Clank like me, it is suggested to stay away from it completely, as it will probably break the hearts of fans because of the ruined story and kiddish premise.

My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library.I gather that the characters in this movie are taken from a video game. I don't play video games, I was not familiar with them before seeing this movie. But it seemed like a good diversion. It was either this or watch the 2016 Vice Presidential debate, so this won easily.All animation, this takes place in a different galaxy where none of the life resembles humans. Ratchet is a small alien to this particular planet and he longs to become a member of the team of Galactic Rangers that protect the Solana galaxy. They are recruiting but he is rejected. Along comes a spaceship crash, Ratchet rushes to the site and finds a small robot he names Clank. They work well as a team and get accepted to the rangers.The big villain is Chairman Drek who wants to destroy every planet in the Solana Galaxy then take remnants to reassemble a planet he wants. The humor and the action are clearly aimed at the younger viewers, much of it seemed overly silly to me. Still it is a passably interesting animated movie with a very good surround sound track with deep bass at appropriate times.

I might have heard the name, but seems nothing familiar. So it is very much like my first encounter with these game characters. And this is really a good first film, I enjoyed, but did not like, because I'm not the target audience. I know, many grown-ups liked it, but they had reasons like they have known this for some time. One thing that fascinated me was the production quality. I can't believe, it was not those silly B class animation, it was very much comparable to Disney, Pixar and DreamWorks films. The only thing that did not favour it was the story. If they have got that part right, it would have been one of the best animations of the years.So the truth is I tempted to rate it higher for the quality of animation alone. The directors, and all artists must be praised for that. If I were a kid, it would have been my favourite. So what I'm saying it, this film will be loved by children. There's not child film critic, otherwise this film would have been appreciated better. The problem is the critics did not like it, and so the adults, but families with kids might have chance to enjoy it.Some of the big names in the voice-over artist list, but that did not help the film to see its success. There's no innovation in it, everything you see in the film was already exploited in other films. All those the space warriors thing, the chosen one, villain, mad scientist, betrayal, you have seen them from 'Star wars' to 'Guardian of the Galaxy'. That is another reason for not having a good time with it. It is still very much a watchable film.5/10

Jesus Christ, is this movie really this underrated? I saw it theaters in 3D a few days ago and I did not get bored, it was such a great movie. I'd call it 2nd best movie of this year (1st is Zootopia with great stuff). But I do not understand, why is it so god damn underrated? It has got likable characters, great story, decent voice acting, it's pretty much what a good movie needs. Lame that people underrate and hate on this movie, it's a great movie with a good message, that you should trust your friends and not enemies. I give this movie a total vote of: 10/10 Would recommend for families to watch this movie, they should like it. But remember, don't underrate the movie without watching it!
