TopicPrediction: Next decade will see video game movies as the new big thing

Video games are fundamentally different from any other medium, due to the element of interaction that comes with playing the game. I don't think it's as simple as saying that comic based movies became popular and therefore video game movies will become popular.

You can never make a "movie" that allows you to engage with the story in the personal way that a video game does. If you do, you just made another video game. In this sense, movies will always have a disadvantage when trying to adapt a video game. You will always lose key elements in translation.

There's no way to know until it happens, but I don't personally think this will be the future of movies. We've already seen the rise of more cinematic games. If I had to make a 10-20 year prediction, I could see movies becoming less popular and cinematic games becoming more popular as a replacement.
