Horizon: Zero Dawn (The Movie)

- This is the story of Horizon Zero Dawn, the hit 2017 PlayStation 4 exclusive game, edited into a movie. This video has been optimized for viewing on an HDR display, using an HDR capable youtube player.
I've been looking forward to making this game into a movie for a long time. I'm glad the community waited until now to vote for this game as my next video game movie, because now I have the ability to capture in 4K and HDR, and dear god this game deserves that treatment! This is one of the few pieces of HDR content out there I know of that actually makes use of the full 10,000 nit range in HDR. In fact, 20% of the screencaps I took during making this movie measured in at the full 10,000 nit range! This means that while the game looks great on modern TVs, it's actually future proof to look even better when brighter TVs come out in the future!
If some of you are unfamiliar of the work I do, I try my best to translate the story of video games into a movie experience that anybody can enjoy, whether they play video games or not. Because of that goal, I work as hard as I can to try to cut down gameplay to the minimum you need to understand the story without causing plot holes, and remove as many of the "game indicators" on screen. In the case of this game, that comes in the form of notifications for new locations and levels, as well as the tools panel which appears in the corner during combat sections. Thankfully, the game has given me the ability to disable everything else on screen, which I absolutely made use of. Of course this did make some things, such as aiming or navigating more difficult, but I always made sure to watch walkthroughs before playing the game to at least be familiar with the layout of the levels, and tried my best to align the center of my screen with the object I was aiming (in the future I may attach something to my screen to help with this)
In order to remove those gameplay indicators, I used a combination of editing, cropping, and visual effects. Thankfully, this game made it so there weren't a huge number of VFX needed, only about 45 shots in the whole movie, totalling about 3000 frames. This was much better than some of my projects, which required hundreds of VFX shots, but the movie was still a long one to create. While I try to trim down the gameplay wherever possible to focus on the story as possible, this is still a pretty long game. On my first playthrough, I was 65 hours into it before I finished the story! Of course, there is a lot of exploration and side content that fills that, but it's still a fairly large story, hence the 6 hour run time here. Considering I have also begun manually transcribing the subtitles of all of my movies, that's obvious also a lot of work when the movie is that long. Here are good recommended stopping points if the length is too much for you:
0:00:00 - Introduction
0:26:21 - The Proving
1:06:19 - Leaving the Embrace
1:42:33 - Meridian
2:50:13 - The Metal World
3:56:07 - Zero Dawn
4:57:31 - The Final Battle
6:00:06 - Epilogue
These will appear as chapters in the video timeline above.

Thank you for this. I thought it would just be the cut-scenes, but you have edited together a really well executed play-through to get the entire story. It is really well made and well played.
absolutely only case of game story to movie I've ever said was good, well edited and played
and a play through that actually looks kinda cinematic
I was surprised with how you edited the game to leave out certain missions and include others that help add to the main story. My only wish is that you included some of the frozen wilds in this but other than that you did an amazing job well done 👏
@@cathsoutheron4189 ضض١
Very well done indeed. I love the audio carry-throughs. Great editing.
Like this comment if you're excited for Horizon: Forbidden West!
Looks good. First time I'll be purchasing a Playstation in the history of ever.
I can't wait for your next work of The Last of us 2!!
Finally finished seeing this movie. I only wish I had gotten aPS4 just for this game. I wish that this and the next one would be for the XBOX as well, but I know that I'm asking for too much. We need more games like this.
Voce é br ne?
@@tonyhamilton6948 Sony makes this game so it won't come to xbox
Wow, greatly done! I'm a video editor, I can tell how much work you've spend doing this, even the subtle scene changes while people are still talking, like in the movies or adding some music. This is amazing and a great tribute to an amazing game. Thank you!
I've had to watch this over days, but it's so well done I've memorised my breaks and came back to continue the story as I've had time. A senior old lady with a lifelong love of science fiction gives several thumbs up. 😊👍👍👍
Who needs Netflix?
They'll never do something even close to this..
Nah bruh ...they will never make same as of game
I have to say that this is the best film adaptation of a game I've seen so far. I love these film games but they always are disjointed, the story breaks constantly, they are super confusing and most of he times very poorly put together. So well done Andy!
Thank you!
What an inspiring masterpiece! It’s like a legit epic tale without all the overdramatic twists of the classical epics. In the Aztec myth of creation there is a kind of zero dawn system. The world was built and destroyed four times with our world being the fifth recreation or Fifth Sun. Different causes made the world fall but to rebirth the world it was necessary that a God sacrificed itself. It fits pretty well with this story. I wonder if the scriptwriter was inspired by that. Btw 6 hours of movie it’s like 12 anime episodes! You gave us a whole sci-fi season! Thank you very much 🌹
Remember that one of the main writer in this movie is also the Lead Writer in Fallout New Vegas.
At first I though I was crazy going for a "game" movie like this! If you read my extensive comment July 25, 2021 you can see that after watching it twice I discovered so much more to it! The Aztec/Mayan connection is incredibly obvious! ... not just extravagant costuming! Dec. 2012 was the end of the 13th bak'tun beginning 3114 BC cycle in the Mayan calendar. So many people believed that it would be almost a kind of end of the world!
Yes! I see much of the classical/mythic connections in this movie... however I don't believe there was a singular "God" sacrifice! Sacrifice is one of the may themes running through this film. To try to put it in a way where you might understand: Yes there was a "good" God sacrificed however you seem to forget that the "bad" God was also sacrificed!!! Therefor The Christian concept falls apart here! There are two sides to God... both dark and light...in this movie you see that in the end one cannot be sacrificed/destroyed without the other!!!
Instead of submitting life upon Earth to such a disaster as neutralizing light with darkness this happened upon another level where forces of darkness and light shall forever be at odds. It is the realization that we are gods unto ourselves that we can begin to take genuine responsibility for our actions or lack thereof. With this realization we cannot blame the crap that happens upon either a good God or a bad God! It is high time that we develop our CONSCIENCE! Aloy demonstrates this as she moves through one scene to another. You can see her grow and develop in this way!!!
One thing that really makes or breaks a movie: character development!
@@FhueK-n4h thats so amazing to know! thanks!!
Yeah I was like, hold up, why is this resonating to be true of the real history the masses are not in knowing of. The destruction of previous civilization on earth. So many documentaries i have watched, this simple movie ties a lot of it together.
@Dani's Verse yeah sometimes I wonder if anime, movies or game creators are showing this stuff on purpose or they are not really aware of what they’re doing... btw the internet is so full of occult informations I’m amazed how these things are still not mainstream. Years ago there was this YT channel called Alcyon Pleiades and they talked about a LOT. Idk if it’s still up
This was an enjoyable watch. I’ve never watched anything like this before.
There is so much more in the game that builds on the main storyline. HZD has got to be my most favorite game of all time.

X,
I'm no gamer but I love love loved this movie. Thank you. Must have been really hard work to put it together, thank, 4 hours in and not a dull moment
It was an amazing game. I'm falling out of love with video games in general, but this one just never gets old for me.
You should play it even if its in the easiest settings just for the movie part of it as a whole. I loved it and whats great is I play it a different time just once in a year lots of fun
The same, I only watched this movie and wow, it could've been in the cinemas!
Especially loved the beginning where they were establishing Aloy being an outcast.
If you ever wanted to try playing one this will make you fall in love. Open world to explore is ideal to wow you with adventure and the graphics. I'm always in awe how much detail and work went into the this game. The story is compelling, and not having seen this movie version of spoilers, the game keeps you wanting more of the backstory and mystery of who you are.
I am no gamer too,but it exsellent job,thank you from Russia.
Such an amazing story and game, its the only game both of my teenage daughters played to completion and one even played it again. For a father of only daughters who thought he'd never share the joy of gaming with his kids Horizon Zero Dawn was the gateway for my girls to get into gaming, thank you Guerilla Games.
That is awesome! I saw another comment that said they're not even a gamer, and they love this movie. The story is absolutely extraordinary.
The long awaited Horizon Zero Dawn movie! Thanks again for all your commitment and time making these meticulously captured and edited movies Andy! You simply rock!
4:56:46. best exchange so far . . . “you’re even more extraordinary than i thought”. “i didn’t have a mother” “what do you mean? you had two! a dead woman and a machine!”
"Happy birthday Issac, Daddy sure does love his little big man"
Oh goodness me that hits me in the feeeels
Cordell Taylor AAK❤️❤️👉🏼👈🏼
How about Gaia’s dying plea?!?!
@Cordell Taylor nothing hits harder when Rost dies 😭
Ahhhhhh the feeeeeeeelllllssss
One thing I've noticed about your videos is that you're apparently really good at playing these games! Hope you're rewarded somehow for all of your hard work. Like always, the editing in this video is an easy 10/10
Can't wait for your future projects.
Thank you!
This held my attention from beginning to end, as good as any animated movie I have seen. You have real talent and I am so grateful.
I was just expecting all the cutscenes in one but you made it an amazing whole movie. Love watching this when I don’t want to play the game.
Not a gamer but that was just crazy. I wont pretend that i know how much work was put into this ... I can only imagine. Thank you for an epic journey.
I was surprised to learn this came from a video game. It has such an excellent story and superb world building. They should make a series out of it, like what was done with The Witcher.
laptopcommando definitely, the plot is unbelievably well built
Nah I feel like a movie would be better, just cut out some parts and it would be 3 hours
Netflix announced development of a series!
games have a far superior story than most movies and shows more often than not in these recent years.
I loved it when Aloy immediately understood the holographic image of a round Earth, causing Sylense to choke as he finally realized that he was talking to somebody as smart as or probably smarter than he was. These touches make this game top-notch!
Her comment about the shadow cast during an eclipse was priceless. (Wonder if that pissed off any Flat Earthers?)
@@moonwatcher99 Lots of such things. Such as, "We thought you fell at the wall." "No, the wall fell on me." This game is for thoughtful people. They even gave a reason that she is so hard to kill: Her DNA is only 99.63% Elizabeth Sobek. 0.47% is modified, which is nearly enough, if desired, to turn her into an ape, so this was used by Gaia to "soup" her up to give her a very good chance of living long enough to do her job -- she was always smart enough, of course. Best video game ever made, so far.
Lance Reddick really added so much to what would have already been a masterpiece without him. One of my favorite games of all time. Thanks for this
Aloy is one of the strong game characters I've been played. The gameplay and missions are great. Especially the soundtrack. I've lost count of how many times I'm playing this game from the beginning after I've finished it. GREAT GAME!
Have you played the sequel yet?? 😁
So much meaning packed into the first minute that you just have no idea how emotional it is until later in the game, some of it much much later.
Hello i will like to know more about you..
Not just cut scenes, but a true entire movie watched everything in 2 days. Good job!
This is perfect, just what I needed. I wanted to see the full story again but didn’t want to make a 4th playtrough in fear of getting “burned” being so close to Forbidden West.
The game, the story, the production values, everything points to one of the finest achievements in gaming history. If the Forbidden West is merely half as good it will be great! Loved the movie version as well. It's a genuine work of love!
SHOUT OUT TO THE SKILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!! The skills to edit the cut scenes into a great anime movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, I can't wait until the new one comes out so you can do the same to it!!!!!!!!!!!! #RESPECT
Finished watching this for a refresher of Zero Dawn in anticipation of my first playthrough of Forbidden West. This is the gold standard of how story recaps can be done on youtube. Thanks!
I could cry and cry with this game over and over, always gets me *sobs *
Just finished this on PC and it was amazing. Finished 97% without ever feeling like I was stuck grinding.
Absolutely astounding. I just started watching and paying attention to these game movies.
-no subtitles
-no stupid logos
-4k
-You are awesome, man!
4k? Are you using sony's phone?
@@premium8285 No. What's the relationship between 4k and sony's phone? I can't understand you.
It is indeed
What's wrong with subtitles? lmao. For people like me who can barely hear, they're magical. Luckily though, this entire video seems to be close captioned manually though, so it doesn't matter that much that he played with the in-game subtitles off!
The problem is with forced subtitles. I agree subtitles are super useful for those who need them. For those of us that don't, however, they can be extremely distracting, so I'd just prefer not to force them on people. However because so many people do need them, I've started transcribing my movies manually, and yeah, that's a time consuming process 😄
You’ve done a masterful job connecting all the aspects and telling the story. Well done!
Gosh I can’t even imagine how long it took you to make this! It’s amazing, thank you so much for your time and effort!!
Wow. What a great movie. I've never seen anything like it. Didnt know games could look like this. Very impressive and the story line is epic.
Awesome game, awesome story, awesome graphics, awesome 3D modeling and awesome work of recording this magnificent saga in movie form. And to think I never would have clicked on it if I had noticed it was 6 hours long; what I would have missed!
I'm 40 minutes into this. Amazing and detailed cinematics. Beautiful scenery. Good hearted and creative story.
Props to the uploader, excellent editing and continuity.
This game is so good I almost cried I really hope this gets nominated as best game of the year because the amount of effort and detail put into this story is amazing I just love it . I’m so speechless 😭😭🥰🥰🥰😱😱🥰🥰
I have never played any games or watched a movie like this before, but I have to tell you : my mind is absolutely blown away!!! It is soooooooo good!!! I watched the whole thing in ONE go! Lol! I couldn't stop!!! Thank you for all the hard work and the amazing talent you share with us!!! Its epic and I hope to see more of this 😍😍😍
@Connie
What I find amazing is how some of these video game cut scenes/movies have far better story lines/arcs than what Hollywood has been spewing out the past decade.
I don't know... the 2013 Tomb Raider game had a pretty good plot too. I think.

Play this game bro its amazing
Ty, @Andy Gilleand, my young adult kids played this and i couldnt figure out the story line while they played it, now i get it, you did a wonderful job putting this together as a movie, really enjoyed watching it.
Honestly, that was amazingly well put together. Thank you so much for this obvious labour of love.
I watched this over a period of a few weeks, this was amazingly well done. Congrats on putting this together as good as you did.
This game is difficult to play with out hud elements. I played this twice and this movie is some top quality work man..👏👏
I like to use the tap to show HUD function for navigation and leave my reticle on since it doesn't appear when not aiming. You can track your remaining ammo by pulling up the weapon wheel, and the Focus for everything else
I originally had the tap to show HUD option on, but it popped up accidentally in the middle of the Proving when my thumb slipped, so I turned that option off
@@AndyGilleand lol
enjoy yet don't forget Jesus is all power in His amazing grace...ok thanks
@@AndyGilleand I remember this movie being not voted for a long time. After a lot of poll, this game got it's chance. I'm so happy that this movie is doing good in terms of views.
I'm around halfway through forbidden west, and I hadn't yet played Zero Dawn! This video was perfect for catching me up. Thank you!!!
HZD is my favorite game, and it was so nice to have this so I could share it with my mother. She is 60 years old and has never been into videogames, but she loved the story, and the way you compiled it all had her completely forgetting she was watching a game. She is already planning a trip to come out for your HFW video.
That's so cool to hear 😊
Wow, Thank you for your work in putting this game in to a movie. The editing is exeptional. Great job!
To me, this is amazing. I remember when the "Pong" video game came out LOL. 25 years ago when CGI started getting better, I told my friends that some day there will be entire movies made with computers and they all said I was crazy... Anyway, I just watched the first 15 minutes and now I know what I'm doing with the rest of my Saturday. Phenomenal work, thank you!
1:13:49 1:24:05 2:47:15 5:32:25 6:09:22 this guy deserves an Oscar. Best scene so far.
Thank you so much for this gift! Thoughtfully edited, good balance of story and action, seamless throughout. Really excellent work. Felt more like a film than a video game recap.
I TOTALLY WATCHED THIS IS ONE SITTING! MY EYES ARE BLEEDING! BUT I AM SO HAPPY! THANKS FOR MAKING THIS!!!
I'm hooked! Can't stop watching this. Got a few hours left. Well done!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Just wanted to take the time to say how thankful and grateful we are for all of you. We hope have a wonderful day and enjoy the time you spend with your loved ones!
Best discovery yet for me !! I'm so obsessed thank you 😊
I LOVE THIS EDITING SO MUCH THANK YOU
I miss Andy's Productions... Now I can enjoy the new game movie done right again.. Premier League returns and so does Andy! A great weekend to enjoy 😎
Faiezhar Francesc He is easily the best when it comes to game movies. When I’m looking for a specific one I always check his channel first to see if he’s done it and if he doesn’t than I’ll go find someone else, but even then I know that whichever one I settle on it probably won’t be as good as if Andy had done it.
Do it right

This is phenomenal. Never played the game but I might be interested in it now. You did a great job!
I am totally blown away...you made this from a game ! i cried at the end xx AWESOME WORK TEAM
3:02:01 "Dr. Sobek you are 355,510 days overdue for your meeting with Mr. Faro."
"Ah sorry my calendar app broke, won't happen again"
This is outstanding! Many thanks for all your hard work crafting to this together! Great story pacing. Just enough action. I was hungry for HZD lore and this is so satisfying!
Also, Netflix is developing a HZD series...and you've already done the animatic!
Best game I have played since MSG 2, 3 & 4. The story blew me away I completed it 3 times on PS4 and hitting 4 times on PC now. I can't skip anything either it's just to good.
Got to say this is the best (only) 6 hour movie I've watched.
Thank you. As much as I know; well done!
That was EPIC! Makes me want to play the game again.
I only subscribe your channel a few week ago but everything that you make is just amazing and phenomenal thank you man✌
I hope you can say the same about MY channel 🙂
Dude amazing job with the filler montages that built on the story of the actual storytelling of the game. Im glad I chose to try out yours instead of my usual go-to's
Thank you...I watched your early edits many many years ago and glad I found this excellent movie.
Wow everytime i want to watch an all cutscenes game movie, i go to your channel cause you do them very well!
Thanks for making this!
This… is amazing. Been a long time since I finished Zero Dawn. So glad I dedicated the time for this awesome piece before jumping in to Forbidden West. The time this must have taken, the editing… so well done. Thanks for this. Fantastic job, truly.
In fact, this is So Good that I’m delaying starting FW until I finish it, even though I’ve already played Zero Dawn and watched other catch-up videos. It’s truly that good! Thanks again mate!
Thank you!!! I enjoyed playing Horizon Zero Dawn and this movie just takes it over the top!!!
Job well done!!!
Wanted to post and say thank you for this. I saw a brief bit of the game on a twitch streamers channel but wanted to see the full thing and sadly for me this is not the type of game I would sit down to play, but being able to come and have this to watch to see the story is very much appreciated!
Really great done! Thank you! With music and best cut scenes! A pleasure to watch! )))
It's taken me a couple of days to watch but well worth it!!!!!! Awesome thanks

That was superb editing and an absolute joy to watch. Thank you.
Impressed enough to get the game, OUTSTANDING Mr. Andy, simply Outstanding !
This game will forever be in my heart till the day I die
I loved this game! The story, combat, and sandbox world was just amazing! I'm so excited for HZD-2 on the PS5. Thank you for this movie!
This was truly a joy to watch. Thank you for putting it together and doing so with awesome editing, as many have already said. Great Video!
The storyline 🙌🏾🔥... I enjoyed every minute of this movie, thank you.
I didn't notice the time!! Great work!
Thank you. I've never played this game but I loved this movie. You added well put together action scenes with game play ! That's one I've never seen done or not seen done very well till now.
Awesome capture and editing....you rock!
This is awesome!!! I love how everything is edited together
I said it last time, I'll say it again : thanks for the subtitles ! And thanks for the whole thing !
Subtitles took me 15 days of work to type up, but I think it's worth it in the end, especially since they can be translated into other languages (helps a lot getting my video out to other regions)
This Andy is artist
I have just started to view but in these few minutes I find myself lost in the movie, soooooo interesting
The soundtrack is awesome it tickless my bone with those scenes great work mate
Wow just starting watching your videos Andy and they are amazing , thank you.
