video game movie
Console-to-cinema translation
A video game movie is a film adapted from a video game, translating interactive gameplay into passive narrative cinema.
The genre has a notorious reputation for poor quality, though recent productions have found more success: The Super Mario Bros. Movie broke box office records.
The term can also describe films about video game culture or competitive gaming.
