Video games as.... movies?

I am unaware why studios think that video games make a great adaptation for film story ideas.

As I have been browsing through he current movies that are Coming Soon on the Internet Movie Database, I found something from a video game I played as a high school student.

Ratchet and Clank (2016).

I was a little surprised.

The very animated and very quirky R and C games series got momentum in 2002. Released for the PlayStation 2, it sold much more than 1 million copies.


But the thing is. It was basically a kid's game, with a few double entendres thrown in for good fun. It was rated T for animated violence.

It spawned a PSP port, and enough sequels to compete with the "Friday the 13th" movies.

But why on earth is there a similar version of it coming to theaters? I think that the film business is too crowded as it is with mindless, poorly-plotted films, and the like.

They are so silly, and I think they should go away.

Want proof of this silly thing's existence? Click here to see...and no, I absolutely did not watch the trailer.
