It seems like Hollywood is making gritty reboots of every nostalgic franchise under the sun these days. Going along with that idea, the funny folks at 'Gritty Reboots' have taken the next logical step, turning classic video game Pokemon Snap into an action-packed sci-fi thriller in the vein of Jurassic Park.
The production values from the YouTubers is actually really impressive. The humorous mashup features generally excellent special effects as the actor who plays photographer Ash from the game navigates his way around the complex island, where the Pokemon have been resurrected and brought to life for sharp photo opportunities. The YouTube channel has only produced two videos so far, but given their special effects and funny premises, it's probably safe to assume that we'll be seeing much more reboots from Gritty Reboots in the near future.
