Should I watch it for the love of Titanfall?


I keep reading people saying the movie was a clone of Titanfall. Is it worth watching for my love for Titanfall?

reply

No, not really. The movie WISHES it was Titanfall, but focused too much on J-Lo's character for that.

Just play the campaign from the second game, hehehe, you'll be way better served.

YES

although it does focus on JLO i strongly feel it has features that gamers can appreciate 🥳

but it's not a movie like transformers or battleship (2012) or the pacific rims. focusing on JLO really means focusing on JLO. if you dont like her character you're not going to really enjoy waiting for the cool action scenes

reply

I hate JLO, she can't act, and she isn't pretty or hot, I wish they could find someone pretty or can act.

in that case do not watch it
you won't be liking it. that's clear

I'm hearing it's more similar to Mass Effect than Titanfall. I'm part of a few Mass Effect Facebook groups. A lot of people in the groups are watching the movie and bringing up all the similarities and possible references to the Mass Effect games. Some are going as far as saying that the movie is an unofficial Mass Effect movie. Even the protagonist of Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3 is named Commander Shepard. Atlas though spells the name Shepherd though, but there is a lot of people spelling Commander Shepard wrong in the groups. I've seen Shepherd, Sheperd, and Shephard. The terrorist group in the games called Cerberus even have mechs, which are called Atlas or Atlas Mechs. They are in Mass Effect 3. There are a few levels/stages/missions where you get to pilot them, and if you do things correctly, you can even kill the pilot and hijack them. Oh and Commander Shepard can be male or female. They let you pick the gender when creating your character. So Atlas could be making an unofficial Mass Effect movie with a Female Shepard (Male Shepard is supposed to be default and the one used for 95% of the marketing). Also, from what I've seen in pics, the mechs in Atlas do look a lot like the mechs that Cerberus has. Only different colors. So yeah. I'd say the movie is more Mass Effect than Titanfall. I actually haven't watched Atlas yet, but I'm seeing a lot of similarities. I plan on watching Atlas eventually though. It's just not top priority or a mood when I go to watch stuff.

I would say, watch it, and post your review on here.
