Mar 16, 2024 · Video game movies are in vogue, with new titles released every year, but it takes a special movie to stand out and earn a place in the top 10. Video game movies have had a pretty rough track record for most of their history, with many movies failing to capture the spirit of their games, disappointing fans and critics alike, but in the last 10 years, there has been a shift.

Buying Guides
Movies based on video games are a bit hit and miss. Mostly miss, if we're honest. However, there are some really great movies in amongst the rubble that are well-worth watching, whether you're a fan of the attached franchises or not.
Silent Hill
Spooky times
The original Silent Hill movie is actually remarkably good, amalgamating the stories of the first, second, and elements of the third games. Set in the titular fictional town, Silent Hill follows a tale that revolves around demonic cults, a shadowy otherworld, and creepy demonic zombies. Oh, and Pyramid Head.

There are plenty of awful video game movies, but some of them at least break the mold.
To recommend just a couple, Detective Pikachu is a truly great pick. With masterful character acting from Ryan Renolds, and truly wonderful and detailed 3D Pokemon models, Detective Pikachu really is a quintessential example of what a movie based on a video game franchise should look like.
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children is also a great option if you don't mind over-the-top anime-style tropes. The fight scenes alone are infectious to witness, with moves and stunts that would make The Matrix blush.

It's called Heart of the Storm, one of the levels in the Spring Community collab 2020. It's some top-tier stuff, I really recommend it! It's welcome to players of all skill levels too :) Um I've barely gotten to the moon level where you learn that long dash jump that I still can't to properly.
