Storyline
Did you know

- GoofsWhen Ratchet is doing an autograph, Captain Quark grabs and throws it out of Ratchet's hands, and the pen he is holding disappears. This happens 38 minutes into the movie.
- Crazy creditsThere are a few stills of main characters from the movie along with the names of the celebrities who voiced them.
- Alternate versionsOn the UK TV print (as seen on the Pop airing), the understanding of the R.Y.N.O. weapon is cut for time.

Okay. But Could Have Been Better
Ratchet & Clank is yet another movie based on a video game. Retelling the story of the first Ratchet & Clank game, Ratchet, a Lombrax, is rejected from joining the Galactic Rangers due to being dangerous, but would soon be thrust into adventure when he meets a robot he names Clank, a rejected robot looking for the Rangers to warn them that Drek is destroying planets to make a new one due to him polluting his own planet to the point where it's uninhabitable. However, Drek's ally, Dr. Nefarious, has other plans.
Yeah, this is a movie that is a loose retelling of the first game's story, as it has characters who would debut in later games (especially Dr. Nefarious, who debut in the third game, Up Your Arsenal, and has since become the Ratchet and Clank series' recurring villain) and changes some events and plot twists. James Arnold Taylor and David Kaye are brought in to reprise their roles as the title duo, with Jay Ward voicing Captain Quark, and Armin Shimerman voicing Dr. Nefarious. Drek was sadly recast, and some new character were created for the film (like Grimroth, voiced by John Goodman, who serves as Ratchet's adopted father).
The animation style keeps the characters like they were in the games, and that also leads to a downside, as the way it's done, it feels like we are watching a movie made up of FMVs that would be in between gameplay, and some of the humor is hit or miss. It's an okay movie, but this could have been better than what we got.
