Original stories set in the world of iconic video games are featured in this animated anthology series.. Video games have made the leap to the screen in a big way, and we’re celebrating the genre with a closer look at over 50 video game adaptations in movies and shows.. Clive Standen will reprise his voice role as Demetrius Titus, the title character in the video game Space Marine 2.
Aside from a few interesting episodes, Secret Level feels like a monument to mediocrity. The writing is painfully middle-of-the-road, dragging the entire show down despite the undeniably impressive visuals – though even those feel like reheated leftovers from a decade of superior video game cinema. Honestly, what is this show trying to do or say that hasn’t been done (and done better) by video game marketing for the past 10+ years?
The lineup of titles is bewildering. Where are the big names? The absence of heavy hitters screams one thing: the developers didn’t want to be a part of this train wreck or were waiting to see if Season 1 could stick the landing.
What should have been tight, impactful, and memorable feels disjointed and uninspired. Variety called it an “uninspired postponement”; and for once, Variety wasn’t harsh enough. The secret level is proof that flashy visuals can’t hide a lack of vision, heart, or originality!
“One Hundred Years of Solitude” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
