See in theory I can accept the idea of a simple recton even in Cinema. But the fact that NONE of the movies tie together properly really freaking pisses me off. In Endgame, why the Hell didn't Conner have the power of illusion? Why didn't he have any of the psychic stuff he got early on in the FIRST movie? Why didn't Duncan have it in the last movie? And mostly,why the Hell did it turn out that Duncan was married a long time ago when the premise behind Tessa dying was that Duncan was destined to NEVER be be married?! Seriously, her death was tramatic as f*ck for me and they totally freaking ignored it!
The most tragic thing, is they could have fixed ALL of it if they'd handled the third movie right. Kane had the power of illusion right? So rather than just ignore everything that happened before they could have said that Kane escaped the cave a couple of years before the first movie and used to power to manipulate the Immortals from the first movie into believing the game was almost over in a plan to get Kurgen(his biggest threat) and Conner(who he hates because of him getting trapped in the cave) to fight. And the entire second movie was just an illusion that Kane cooked up to torture Conner after Kurgen was killed. He releases Conner from the illusion as he approaches Conner on the rooftop(passed out next to Kurgen), the girl is killed and Conner escapes by jumping/falling off the building, and the last hour or so of the movie goes just as it originally did EXCEPT that there's an extra scene at the end that skips forward a couple of months in time and leads to Conner meeting up with Duncan in the first episode of the series which actually came out two years before the 3rd movie. Bam!... everything tied up in one nice little bow. It wouldn't be perfect because rectons never are, but it would be a Hell of a lot better than just constantly ignoring everything the way they did. And it would have made Kane seem like a true mastermind and badass rather than a cheap villain of the week type.
