While video game movies can be dire or exceptional, the setting of The Division might help the film out. The Division is set in Manhattan, which means that it is set in the real world. If you compare it to Warcraft: The Beginnings, which has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 29%, it does not need to create a sense of believably to the viewer in order to create a connection. There aren’t any magic powers either, or anything that would dissolve the idea that “this could be real”.
While it is going to be a while till the film actually comes out, you can watch the mini-film below.
What do you think of the video game movies coming out? Will this one flop?
