Adaptation Deviation: The film's version of the Animus is an indoor simulator with a crane that hooks into Callum from behind while holographic images of the events of Aguilar's life play before his eyes, allowing him to act out the motions of his ancestor.

Given that the film is canon to the main games, this could easily be a case of Took a Level in Kindness over time or he is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, since we never really saw him in person outside of his one conversation with Vidic. In the movie, he's a little more patient and Affably Evil as well as showing a softer side towards his daughter.

Adaptational Nice Guy: From what little had been revealed of Alan Rikkin previously, he was characterized as very rude, vulgar, and impatient.

Activation Sequence: As Cal is put into the Animus for the first time, the arm is lowered, he's strapped in, DNA sequences are scanned and compared, lights come on and he is finally sent to relive the life of his ancestor, Aguilar de Nerha.

The only difference is the existence of the Animus technology.

20 Minutes into the Future: This world is not very different from ours (technology, clothes.).

Ezio and Aguilar met each other in the 2018 Mobile Phone Game Assassin's Creed: Rebellion. Both take place in Granada and have the protagonist (Ezio Auditore and Aguilar) fight against the Spanish Inquisition. In fact, the movie's Animus parts take place in the same year as Assassin's Creed II: Discovery, in 1491. Interestingly enough, the movie is not an Alternate Continuity adaption like most feature-length high-budget video game movies, but takes place in the same continuity as the game franchise. Legally dead and with no one to miss him, Callum is forced to relive the memories of his ancestor, the Assassin Aguilar de Nerha ( Michael Fassbender), in late 1491, during the fall of the Emirate of Granada and The Purge of the city by The Spanish Inquisition. Assassin's Creed is an historical action/science-fiction film based upon the eponymous video game franchise of Ubisoft, directed by Justin Kurzel and released worldwide in December 2016.Ĭallum Lynch ( Michael Fassbender) is a death row inmate who, after his execution, finds himself in the clutches of Abstergo Industries, the public front for the modern Templar Order.
