Released April 29, 2016 from the newly-resurrected Gramercy Pictures, Ratchet & Clank (and Captain Qwark) make their big screen debut, in a movie reimagining of the first game in the series. Insomniac Games served a big role in its production. The initial screenplay was by TJ Fixman, the writer for Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, but the final script was heavily rewritten by Kevin Munroe (who directed the film) and Gerry Swallow.This time around, Ratchet's lifelong dream is to join up with the great Captain Qwark and the Galactic Rangers, thinking he "has what it takes." After being told the exact opposite of that phrase by Qwark himself, Ratchet is then a witness of a ship crash. Investigating the crash, he comes across a willful robot he dubs "Clank". Clank informs Ratchet that he seeks the aid of the Galactic Rangers to thwart a heinous plot by Chairman Drek involving the destruction of innocent planets. Realizing the two of them have the same goal, Ratchet aids Clank in his quest, while getting his dream to come true at the same time.A game was released on the PlayStation 4 as a tie-in with the film, leading people to believe that the film is a reboot of the franchise, though the developers insist that it's a re-imagining rather than a true reboot.

Artistic License – Gun Safety: Brax tends to gesture with his blaster, usually involving him pointing it at the person he's talking to point-blank, something that does not go unnoticed by Clank when the nozzle makes contact with his torso.

Trailers Always Spoil: The TV spots for the film show the Deplanetizer destroying Novalis and the aftermath of Drek getting turned into a sheep. Heck, the film's poster shows Drek in his sheep form, although you wouldn't know that until after watching the movie. The tie-in video game, meanwhile, reveals that not only is Dr. Nefarious the Evil Genius, he's also The Starscream; he was the one to turn Drek into a sheep, and takes immediate command of the Deplanetizer not soon after.

"Well Done, Son" Guy: Drek's motive for destroying worlds to build a new homeworld for the Blarg is changed from an elaborate real estate scam into this. His father is the one who polluted the Blarg homeworld (now Quartu instead of Orxon), rather than Drek himself as in the original game. This Drek just wants to live up to his father's legacy.

Captain Qwark as well. In the video games, he's mostly all talk and no walk, and he tends to show up simply to steal all the glory, while Ratchet does all the hard work. Here, we actually see him holding his own in combat, as opposed to the Lovable Coward he was in the games. He and Ratchet even get into a serious firefight that almost ended with Qwark defeating Ratchet.

Green-Eyed Monster: In this game, Qwark is rather spitefully jealous of Ratchet. It's what leads him to working with Chairman Drek, who, at the suggestion of Dr. Nefarious, bribes Qwark into joining with them with the offer of free publicity from him. Qwark immediately regrets it once he finds out the full scope of Drek's plan.

Adaptational Villainy
 Ratchet & Clank (2016) / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: Drek has a small army of Mr. Zurkon units at his disposal. In the games, Mr. Zurkon is typically used by Ratchet against the enemies. Victor himself, as mentioned above, is depicted as much more ruthless and brutal, and is a terrifyingly competent and dangerous commander, with many of the Blarg obviously afraid of him. Dr. Nefarious, while still retaining his Large Ham qualities from the game, is much more ruthless and genocidal, and is depicted here as a Treacherous Adviser and even Omnicidal Maniac whose ultimate plan was to cause an explosive chain reaction that would destroy an entire solar system. The R.Y.N.O., originally a black market Gadgetron weapon, is now a weapon created by Dr. Nefarious, and he uses it during the final fight with Ratchet.

Crapsack World: Quartu, which is now the Blarg's homeworld instead of Orxon. Forget the rather plain-looking planet with a jaunty tune from the original game—this Quartu is a dark, dreary looking world full of factories, obviously suffering from the very heavy pollution that Drek's father inflicted on it. It's like if the Blarg took the factory on Yeedil from Going Commando and hired Dr. Nefarious as their interior decorator.

comment
Mythology Gag: If you've played other Ratchet & Clank games, you may get a laugh out of the many weapons from the series that appear, including the Alpha Disruptor, Constructo Pistol, and Thundersmack. Ratchet gets to try out a lot of them during his Galactic Ranger training. The weapons are introduced by cute cartoons like in A Crack in Time. Neftin Prog is name-dropped by Qwark as a past foe, with his mugshot being displayed on-screen. President Phyronix is shown pictured during a news broadcast announcing that the Galactic Rangers are recruiting. Dallas (sans the awful toupée) and Juanita are shown working as comparatively civil newscasters on Kerwan. The various background characters that populate Veldin are Fungoids from A Crack in Time and Tharpods from All 4 One The ship that Clank uses to escape Drek at the beginning is a much better constructed version of Ratchet's first ship. While Clank is scanning Ratchet to determine his species, the Dan Johnson model (a reference to the late Insomniac Games employee) appears alongside others. When the crew go to meet Elaris, the game she's playing has a HUD that's based off the one in Up Your Arsenal. At the top-left corner of the screen, there's even an icon that looks like the one the Shock Cannon has. The weapon Qwark nearly kills Ratchet and Clank with is the Tornado Launcher. Nefarious' design has red glasses over his eyes which match his robotic form in the games in both color and design. The Galactic Ranger soldier bots borrow their design from Cronk, a warbot from the Future series of games.

No One Should Survive That!: Nefarious is hit in the face by his own partially-charged R.Y.N.O. by Ratchet and disintegrates as he falls into the Deplanetizer's laser chamber. But in the mid-credits scene, he is shown (or at least heard) to still be alive amidst the Deplanetizer's wreckage before being turned into a robot by repair bots. There is no explanation as to how he survived what seemed a definitive death, as there should not have been anything left of him to be turned into a robot.

Attention Whore: Captain Qwark, as usual, to the point where he outright betrays his own Rangers because Ratchet became more popular than he was. And it's revealed that it's the whole reason Drek was able to kick off the Deplanetizer scheme—the fallout of Qwark's behavior (namely stealing credit for his inventions and acting like a jerk to him) is what drove Dr. Nefarious to leave the Galactic Rangers and become a villain, siding with Drek and becoming his chief scientist.

Adapted Out
 Ratchet & Clank (2016) / int_33d5b7f2
comment
Adapted Out: Understandably, a lot of content had to be cut out from both the original game and the 2016 game to fit in the film's run time; Plot wise, the Blarg homeworld is retconned into being Quartu, the planet with the factory Clank was manufactured in. Orxon, the Blarg homeworld from the original game, is completely absent. This movie takes out even more characters and locations that had been in the 2016 game, which itself had already removed characters and locations that had been in the 2002 game. Justified for some of them in that in the movie, Ratchet doesn't need to go to a bunch of planets to get new gadgets. For some of the characters that were left out, we have Big Al, Felton Razz, Skidd McMarx, Don Wonderstar, Wendell Lumos, the Blargian Brain Scientist, and the Blargian Snagglebeast. Some of the locations that were left out include Aridia, Rilgar, Gaspar, Batalia, and Kalebo III. Ratchet's original outfit from the first game is not present in the film. The final mech fight from the end of both the original game and its reimagining are absent from the movie—Nefarious is fought on-foot by Ratchet. Lawrence, Dr. Nefarious's butler, doesn't appear in the film.

Batman Gambit: While Nefarious is in charge of building Drek's robot army, he is also the one who comes up with the battle strategy that Victor executes because Nefarious is aware of how the Galactic Rangers operate. If it wasn't for Ratchet and Clank's sudden appearance, their ambush at Metropolis could have worked and wiped out the Rangers, and later Nefarious comes up with the idea of turning Qwark against them, knowing how corruptible his Attention Whore priorities make him.

Character Development: Surprisingly, Captain Qwark goes through this, even more than Ratchet. He starts as an Attention Whore and arrogant blowhard who was a complete jerk to Dr. Nefarious and unwittingly set off his downward spiral into villainy, which also allows Drek's Deplanetizer scheme to come to fruition once Nefarious joins him as his chief scientist. Qwark is spitefully envious of Ratchet getting the spotlight from him, prompting a fall from grace when Drek successfully bribes him into joining his side with a promise of a PR comeback. To his horror, the deal blows up in his face when he finds out the scope of Drek's scheme upon seeing Novalis get destroyed by the Deplanetizer, with a PR disaster emerging once it becomes known he betrayed the Galactic Rangers, and Nefarious calls him out on his hypocrisy and misdeeds when he argues with Drek about going back on a term of the deal (not harming his Galactic Rangers). Even then, Qwark thinks he's crossed the path of the redemption and fights Ratchet on the Deplanetizer, nearly defeating him—only for Ratchet to convince him that despite all that he's done, it isn't too late to redeem himself (with the help of a trading card of Qwark), prompting Qwark to turn his back on Nefarious. After Nefarious is defeated, it's clear he wants to turn a new leaf and atone for his crimes (although unlike the game, he doesn't serve a prison sentence).

Noodle Incident: During Qwark's big speech on Veldin, he lists off some of his previous accomplishments, like preventing Dr. Nefarious from atomizing Aleero City and stopping Neftin Prog from rendering the population of Aridia color blind. Twice. Ratchet has a long line of citations which includes willful disruption of the space-time continuum. After Ratchet briefly quits the Rangers, Grim reminisces about an amusing incident that Ratchet got into as a child (taking Grim's rocket sled for a test drive).

Bad Boss: Captain Qwark is revealed to have been this to Dr. Nefarious when the latter worked for the Galactic Rangers, and that it was not only what triggered his descent into villainy, but also what kicked off the movie's entire plot in the first place. Drek kills his own employees for texting behind his back during Victor von Ion's funeral.

comment
Adaptational Heroism: Ratchet is presented as a nice guy from the beginning whose ambition is to join the Galactic Rangers, rather than being a hotheaded jerk that was just out for adventure at first before gradually getting his priorities straight. Ratchet's heroism here brings him somewhat closer to his later game appearances, though still noticeably more upbeat and less snarky than Ratchet has ever acted in any previous incarnation. While Qwark is still working with Drek as in the original game, he's openly horrified once he sees the scope of Drek's plan, is upset that Drek goes back on his word by trying to kill the other Galactic Rangers, and quickly comes to regret his actions. He eventually makes a Heel–Face Turn and tries to atone for his crimes.

He doesn't kill the henchman - he eats the Blarg's phone. Played straight later, at Victor's funeral.

No Hugging, No Kissing: The movie has two females whose personalities complement the main characters: one takes action and shoots anything that gets in her way, like Ratchet, and the other prefers to create clever strategies, like Clank. In the interest of time, however, the movie skips any sort of romantic entanglements and instead chooses to focus on the newly-formed friendship between the two male leads, detailing how they became Heterosexual Life-Partners.

Clank doesn't know when to let go and continues shaking Ratchet's hand to the point of awkwardness. In the end, as Ratchet prepares to part ways with Clank, it's clear he doesn't want to leave his friend and now he's the one who doesn't let go.

Adaptation Personality Change
 Ratchet & Clank (2016) / int_6fbe85e6
comment
Adaptation Personality Change: In the original game, Ratchet was selfish and arrogant, only helping to save other planets because Clank talked him into it. In the movie, he's an idealistic Glory Seeker who wishes to join the Galactic Rangers. His friendlier personality here harkens somewhat more to his portrayal in later games, but it is arguably different from any previous depiction of Ratchet, being far more of a wide-eyed, adorable, innocent as opposed to the more streetwise, world-weary snarker Ratchet became later on. The difference is most pointed in the accompanying game, when the movie's Ratchet, upon entering Al's Roboshack, proclaims himself to be in "Nerd Heaven" — the games' Ratchet, even as late as the third game, explicitly did not consider himself to be a nerd.

Named by the Adaptation: Chairman Drek maintains his title, but gets a first name, Alonzo. Similarly, the previously unnamed Lieutenant from the Logging Site on Eudora went from being unnamed, to Victor Von Ion.

Adaptational Early Appearance: This is based on the first game (released in 2002), but it also includes Dr. Nefarious and the Galactic Rangers even though they weren't introduced until 2004's Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. The former is a bit more justified A large number of characters, weapons, and alien species that were introduced in later installments of the games make minor apperances here as well, such as Neftin Prog and the Fongoids.

Villain Has a Point: There's no question that Nefarious is a bad guy and that he clearly crossed the line by attempting to destroy Aleero City as part of a revenge scheme against the Galactic Rangers, but he's rightfully angry at Captain Qwark for how poorly he treated him when Nefarious worked for the Rangers. He also successfully calls out Qwark as a sellout and hypocrite later on when Qwark gets mad at Drek for going back on his word by trying to kill the Rangers, with Nefarious pointing out that Qwark's actions were just as low as anything Drek had done.

comment
Adaptational Badass: The Galactic Rangers have a more noted reputation In-Universe compared to the original games. Captain Qwark as well. In the video games, he's mostly all talk and no walk, and he tends to show up simply to steal all the glory, while Ratchet does all the hard work. Here, we actually see him holding his own in combat, as opposed to the Lovable Coward he was in the games. He and Ratchet even get into a serious firefight that almost ended with Qwark defeating Ratchet. The Deplanetizer is updated from a bare-bones weapons platform into a full blown space station. It's able to shrug off an assault from the Galactic Rangers (albeit only because Qwark disabled the weapon systems on the Rangers' fleet), blows up six planets (including New Quartu, which in the original game was the only planet that was blown up by it) and (in the game, at least) is powered by a dwarf star! Victor Von Ion went through this big time. In the original game, he was Drek's nameless Lieutenant on planet Eudora, who simply runs away when confronted by Ratchet and Clank, never to be heard from again, apart from a few brief minor scenes later on. In the movie, he has a much more powerful looking design, actually engages in combat, and is voiced by Sylvester Stallone. While Dr. Nefarious's robot form has been shown to be able to hold his own in combat, the "Shadow of the Robot" vid-comic in Up Your Arsenal claims that Qwark cornered his organic form easily and accidentally took him down by chucking him into a set of gears. In this film, the organic Nefarious shows up near the end packing the RYNO and is ready to use it, though he doesn't get the chance before Ratchet intercepts him. The R.Y.N.O. is updated from an impressive but simple multi-missile launcher into a combination of the Tools of Destruction RYNO IV visually and the A Crack in Time RYNO V mechanically.

Forced Transformation: Dr. Nefarious turns Drek into a sheep with the Sheepinator as part of backstabbing him. The effects are temporary, as Drek returns to normal after crash landing on New Quartu—only for the planet to get vaporized by the Deplanetizer shooting it.

Ironic Echo Cut: At the end of Qwark's recruitment speech for the Galactic Rangers on Veldin, he tells everyone "If you have heart, then you have what it takes." In the next scene, he tells Ratchet "You don't have what it takes" and Ratchet protests "But I have heart." Ratchet rushes towards the Deplanetizer, saying that Qwark is probably fighting for his life in there. One cut later, Qwark is seen lounging back, eating treats, and asking for foot massages.

The still organic Dr. Nefarious is depicted as working for Drek as his chief engineer and the creator of the Deplanetizer. His backstory is also retconned—instead of being an old supervillain foe of Qwark, he was a former Galactic Ranger who left and went down a path of villainy because of Captain Qwark treating him poorly.

Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal
 Ratchet & Clank (2016) / int_bce728ca
comment
Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Part of the reason Nefarious turned to evil was because when he worked for the Galactic Rangers as their tactical support and weapons engineer, Captain Qwark treated him poorly by making him deal with poor working conditions, budget cuts, inadequate facilities, and then stole credit for his inventions and openly insulted him as a complete nerd (though Qwark claimed it was a term of endearment), gradually driving him insane to the point where he became a mad scientist and betrayed the Rangers. This ends up biting the whole galaxy in the ass when Nefarious teams up with Drek to create the Deplanetizer. Actually discussed between Elaris and Clank where she reveals Nefarious' backstory and assures Clank that this won't happen again.

Compressed Adaptation: Far fewer planets are visited in the film, and some plot elements were changed for time as well. For example, in the game, you visit Kalebo III to get the Hologuise, which Elaris modifies to give Ratchet the appearance and voice of Qwark, but in the film, Elaris is the sole creator of the Hologuise.

Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Based on the downright cute pictures of him during his early years as the Galactic Ranger tech guy, Dr. Nefarious of all people was probably a genuinely Nice Guy before the Rangers' constant dismissal of his contributions became his Start of Darkness. Given that he's become willing to blow up entire planets, it's clear that Nefarious is on the far end of Disproportionate Retribution, but it does beg the question of just how far things went.

Irony: In the original game, Ratchet agreed to take Clank to Captain Qwark because he needed a robotic ignition system for his ship and Clank could fill that role. Here, Clank can't fly a ship, that part of his programming either absent due to the error in his design or because the model in his line wasn't built for piloting.

Adaptational Wimp: In the games, Ratchet was an Instant Expert in the dozens of weapons he would acquire. Here it takes him longer to get the hang of using them. Chairman Drek is changed from a cunning and ruthless businessman into a goofy bumbler who just happens to be a threat. And while he's still evil, his father is responsible for his home world getting over polluted instead of himself, with his motive being to create New Quartu to make up for this, rather than creating a new planet as part of a galaxy scale real estate scam. On top of that, Drek doesn't get to fight Ratchet; Near the end, Dr. Nefarious turns him into a sheep, puts him on a spaceship and takes over as the main villain.

Start of Darkness: Dr. Nefarious' backstory is elaborated on in the movie; Nefarious was originally the Galactic Rangers tactical support and weapons engineer before Elaris joined. But a combination of poor working conditions, including budget cuts, inadequate facilities, lack of appreciation and ridicule from Qwark drove the Doctor mad and resulted in his attempt to atomize Aleero City. He was thwarted by the Galactic Rangers and imprisoned. Nefarious was later apparently killed during a prison escape—though in reality he had escaped and paid witnesses to say he had died during his jailbreak so that the Rangers wouldn't pursue him.

Art Evolution: The art style abandons most of the cartoony aesthetic of the first game to look more in line with the Future series, although many of the character designs are identical to the original game. The Galactic Ranger robots (which now serve as backup to the main Rangers) are so heavily redesigned, that they're unrecognizable from how they appeared in Up Your Arsenal. They basically look like a mass produced version of Cronk from the Future games.

The R.Y.N.O. still has similar lore to that of the original weapon, but has the appearance of the R.Y.N.O. IV from Tools of Destruction and the energy weaponry of the R.Y.N.O. V from A Crack in Time.

Adaptation Origin Connection: Captain Qwark is depicted as the leader of the Galactic Rangers in this continuity, which enables both to be involved in the plot while streamlining the backstory such an element would otherwise require. The still organic Dr. Nefarious is depicted as working for Drek as his chief engineer and the creator of the Deplanetizer. His backstory is also retconned—instead of being an old supervillain foe of Qwark, he was a former Galactic Ranger who left and went down a path of villainy because of Captain Qwark treating him poorly. While Clank was still created from an error in Drek's robot-building assembly line, with Dr. Nefarious being the factory's founder and creator, this technically makes Clank one of his creations, a stark difference from how they met in Up Your Arsenal.

No Waterproofing in the Future: Most robots, including Clank, are waterproof, but Victor von Ion is an exception. He had just been damaged in combat enough times to expose his wiring, leaving him vulnerable to both electrical malfunctions and rusting.

Clank is a composite of the original Clank in name and appearance and his Evil Twin, Klunk. Like the latter Clank starts out with red eyes upon activation and being created by Nefarious.

comment
Easily Forgiven: Qwark seems to have been let off lightly for backstabbing the Galactic Rangers, only having to apologize for it. This is in contrast to the game, where he has to serve a prison sentence.

comment
Author's Retaliation: In the first teaser trailer, Qwark, frustrated with the cheap sets and lack of dubstep, calls the movie's animators lazy. As revenge, they remove his textures and make him dance. They undo these things when he apologizes, but then when he insults them again, they drop the logo on him.

Gadgeteer Genius: Dr. Nefarious is an expert inventor, and is Drek's chief scientist, having designed the Deplanetizer for him. When Nefarious was a Galactic Ranger, he also made inventions for them, but Qwark kept stealing credit for them.

Fun with Subtitles
 Ratchet & Clank (2016) / int_fdb355db
comment
Fun with Subtitles: The on-screen captions when showing a planet provide extra jokes. The self-aware nature of these is most likely intentional for those who have been with the series since the beginning. "Cue Villain Speech in: 3...2...1" "Planet Veldin. Near...ish." "Hall of Heroes. Gift shop open daily." As Novalis is evacuated the population counter steadily goes down. "Oh, like you didn't see this coming."

Brick Joke

comment
Brick Joke: Drek's zero tolerance to any Blarg's usage of social media (on account they had broken numerous statutes and one ordnance): at the start of the film, Drek punishes a Blarg who was texting during his big speech by having Victor eat the Blarg's phone, whilst the Blarg's mother is still speaking on the other end! During Victor's send-off, all of the Blarg furiously text behind Drek's back. They're all jettisoned into space at the end of the funeral. This exchange happens twice, once when a Blarg is having his phone confiscated, and again when the Blarg are all evacuating the Deplanetizer in blind panic via shuttles. When Dr. Nefarious is first introduced, he protests to being called a mad scientist by Drek, claiming that it implies cognitive impairment, instead insisting that he is a 'vengeful' scientist. When he activates the Deplanetizer during the final battle in order to destroy Umbris, however...
