Disappointed by The Minecraft Movie trailer? Upset by how it combines real life with blocky content? If you want a better adaptation of a video game, you should look back to April to see one of the best video game movies/shows ever.
On April 10, 2024, the show Fallout was released and it shocked the Internet with how good it is. With 8.4/10 stars, I definitely recommend that you watch this show. It demonstrates everything that video game fans dream of in terms of accurately representing the game.
Based on the Fallout series of video games, Kilter Films made sure to have the same setting and not stray too far away from the game, unlike what we have seen in other video game movies. For example, Minecraft is known for its blocky gameplay, but The Minecraft Movie combined two different types of visuals together, which strayed too far away from what Minecraft is known for.
In Fallout, the star character, Lucy MacLean, is a normal vault dweller in the war-ridden world of Earth. After hundreds of nukes were launched, people fled into vaults to attempt to save humanity. Little did they know that a dark secret was hidden in the vaults.
Suddenly, Lucy MacLean’s life changes when her dad, the leader of the vault, is taken by a group of raiders. She embarks on a quest to save her dad and to return to her normal life. With little knowledge of the ground above, she faces many challenges.
One of the challenges she faces is radiation. The deadly radiation, which can turn people into “ghouls,” has ended and transformed many people’s lives.
Back into the vault, we look at Norm, another main character. Norm is unlike the rest of the vault dwellers. He does not participate in any of the activities in the vault, as he is always on his Pip-Boy, which is a tool on the wrist that functions as a futuristic iPad.
Norm is Lucy’s brother, so his life also changes when his dad is kidnapped, and even more when his sister leaves the vault. Norm is a curious person, so when he hears something suspicious from some prisoners in the vault, he looks into it, which leads him on his own quest to uncover the secrets of the vault.
The third main character is Maximus. Maximus is a soldier for the Brotherhood, which is a powerful group that is looking to control the wasteland, which is the area that the nukes hit. From getting bullied, to becoming a temporary hero, to going back to being bullied, Maximus’s story is interesting because it keeps changing and taking sudden turns.
A fan favorite, the final main character is named The Ghoul. He delivers many amazing lines that took the internet by storm, so everyone loves this character. He starts off as an innocent actor, first shown at the very beginning of the show as a cowboy who is participating in a birthday party.
His life changes when the nukes drop, and the radiation turns him into a ghoul. He is referred to as The Ghoul, as he is the most ruthless and merciless out of all the ghouls. But like the other characters, his story also takes a sudden turn.
All these characters meet with each other at one point in the story. Each of them connects with the others to form a highly anticipated show that passes expectations. The show leaves off with a major cliffhanger that has everyone waiting for season 2, which comes out in 2026. Despite most good video games turning into bad movies, this show is awesome and is worth checking out.
