It's almost time for the Assassin's Creed movie to hit theaters, and we're all waiting in dreadful anticipation wondering if this will be the first good video game movie. While we tap our feet and bite our nails though, why not take a peek behind the curtain and check out some of the ways the movie is foregoing the usual CGI treatment in favor of real-life stuntwork and practical FX?

So as we can see, we've got dramatic falls, ziplining, explosions, water plunges...
Backflipping onto a high-wire...

And of course, it wouldn't be Assassin's Creed without parkour:
Directed by Justin Kurzel and starring Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Ariane Labed, Michael K. Williams, Jeremy Irons, and Brendan Gleeson, Assassin's Creed opens in US theatres on December 21, 2016 before being released in UK cinemas on December 26, 2016.
