Ratchet the Lombax and Clank the
robot get ready to kick some asteroid in the animated movie adaptation of their
popular Playstation game.
The plot stays
true to the premise of the action-packed game series, in which players are
tasked to thwart Supreme Executive Chairman Drek (Paul Giammati), who plans to
destroy the galaxy.
Ratchet (voiced by James Arnold
Taylor) had always wanted to be a Galaxy Ranger, idolizing Captain Qwark (Jim
Ward). The squad feels that he does not fit in, though, and is quickly taken
off the force. This has not dampened his willingness to help others. This was
what led him to rescue Clank (David Kaye), a robot on a mission to deliver an
important message about the secret weapon that Drek is using to blow up
planets.
With his innate talent for
mechanics, Ratchet fixes up his new friend and together with Cora (Bella
Thorne), they go into enemy territory to save the galaxy. Along the way,
Ratchet and Clank learn valuable lessons about heroism, friendship and
discovering one's own identity.
The movie is made to delight young
and old fans of the gameand those who are into crisp, fast-paced animation
movies. The dialogue stays sharp with the repartee between the characters
staying true to the game, due to the fact that the series creators Insomniac
Games helped with the film's production, screenplay, character development and
animation. Several cast members from the games reprised their respective voice
roles, and assets from the video games were utilized in the film.
Other actors who lent their voices
for the characters include Sylvester Stallone, John Goodman and Rosario Dawson.
The film was produced at Rainmaker Entertainment's Vancouver studio in Canada,
and its executive producer is Michael Hefferon, President of Rainmaker Entertainment
was able to talk about the project on the Playstation blog.
“One of the biggest questions we've
gotten in the last few years is 'When are you going to make a Ratchet &
Clank movie?' The truth is, we've wanted to do a movie for a long time! Ratchet
& Clank's action, humor and galaxy-spanning adventures have really been the
basis for a fantastic game series, and we think it would translate perfectly to
the big screen.”
The outer space buddy comedy is set
to show in Philippine theaters on May 26, 2016 and is exclusively distributed
by Octoarts Films International.
