From The Matrix to
Children of Men, it’s impossible to
deny the influence that video games have had on film during the past
decade. Star Wars: Clone Wars takes this to the logical extreme by creating
a film that’s images look more like a video game than some AAA games. Unfortunately, it also chose a plot more
suited to a game or a children’s cartoon series, which the film is partially a
spin-off from, than a full-fledged movie. But it’s especially sad that a few of the
better Star Wars games feature not only significantly deeper stories, but also
superior CGI, meaning that both this project's film and video game predecessors have already done better.
