‘Human Revolution – Deus Ex’ Is A Short Film Worthy Of The Series’ Title

Briefly: While it was announced that a Deus Ex: Human Revolution feature film was in the works all the way back in 2012, we haven’t heard any news of the film since (though a new Deus Ex game has been announced).

A short film that was just released by Machinima should be able to fill that void for some time, because it’s freaking awesome. I’ve been a big fan of the Deus Ex series since playing the first game for Playstation 2 in my early teens, and I feel as though this short is a fantastic representation of what a feature could look like.

The video describes itself as:

Based on the video game Deus Ex Human Revolution, the film dives into the world of Adam Jensen, a serif industries’ security consultant that gets augmented after an incident that almost took his life away. Although the film doesn’t follow the narrative of the game exactly, it remains true to the theme while focusing on the relationship between Adam Jensen, and his ex girlfriend Megan Reed, a scientist hand picked by Serif Industries to head Cybernetic Augmentations. Megan is taken by the Illuminati and is asked to assist them in turning on a mysterious device but she refuses to cooperate. Jensen has been looking for Megan since she was kidnapped and has finally pinpointed her location. Adam faces a complication that he did not account for; Yelena Federova, an Augmented assassin is at the facility where Megan is being held. The film also taps, even if briefly, into Adam’s mind and the struggle he must face on daily basis.

The short was directed by Moe Charif, who you’ll also see in the video as Adam Jensen. Take a look at Human Revolution – Deus Ex below, and let us know what you think!
