About This Movie

So, Assassin's Creed: Ascendance, directed by Laurent Bernier, is an interesting piece. It's essentially an animated bridge between the second and third games in the franchise. The animation style certainly captures that gritty, Renaissance atmosphere, which is pretty fitting for the era it portrays. The pacing leans towards brisk, keeping the narrative tight and engaging. Themes of betrayal and power loom large, especially with Cesare Borgia's rise in the backdrop. The interplay between Ezio and Leonardo Da Vinci is quite well done – their dynamic feels authentic. While it may not have the polish of a full cinematic release, the practical effects and artistry give it a distinctive flavor that fans of the series will appreciate.
