Answer:

Yes — I would watch more cinematic game adaptations, especially ones like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Cinematic Cut that don’t just replicate gameplay as film, but thoughtfully reinterpret it as a hybrid art form. The fact that this version blends curated gameplay with cinematic editing — not as a replacement for interactivity, but as a celebration of narrative depth — is exactly what makes it compelling.

While some may argue that games lose their essence without player agency (option 1), this adaptation doesn’t claim to be a game. Instead, it offers a new kind of storytelling experience: one that honors the emotional weight, worldbuilding, and craftsmanship of the original while leveraging film’s visual and temporal language. As Petr Pekař notes, it's not about revolutionizing cinema — but about creating new possibilities for how stories can be told, and where they can be shared.

And let’s not forget the context: premiering at Karlovy Vary, not just as a film, but as a cultural bridge. This isn’t a Hollywood-style adaptation chasing box office appeal. It’s a collaboration between filmmakers and game developers, rooted in mutual respect and artistic vision. That kind of cross-medium dialogue is rare — and exactly what we need more of.

So while I might not want every game turned into a passive movie, I absolutely believe in the value of intentional cinematic cuts like this one. They invite fans, filmmakers, and gamers alike to see games not just as entertainment, but as art — and that’s worth watching.

Final Verdict:
✅ I would watch more cinematic game adaptations — particularly those that innovate, not imitate.
(Best choice: "Compelling narratives transcend interactivity.")
