Summary

Cal Lynch awakens to find himself very much alive he is greeted Sofia who tells him that she needs his help and with the aid of a machine called the animus he begins a journey taking him through 15th century Spain. As some critics have slated the movie you have to remember this movie was never a clone of the game it just used the franchise of the game to create a story to make a movie. I like that it wasn't a clone of the game and that they didn't use the obvious characters such as Desmond or Ezio.

What I Like

I liked the movie in general from the stay true to the game story line to the brilliant chase scene on the roof tops of 15th century Spain.

What I Disliked

Main thing I didn't like about the movie was the having to read the subs when Cal was Aguilar in Spain I understand the relevance as 15th Century Spaniards didn't speak English as there first or second language, but the movie was through Cal Lynches eyes so on the first use of the animus speaking in Spanish was understood,  but once he synced it should have used Cal's first language but that's just my opinion.
