Don't we have an AE movie?
Have you seen it? It's just the FMVs from AE with a half-arsed framing introductory scene, with no coherent flow or tone. It really doesn't work as a stand-alone film.

Will Oddworld movies be worth it ? Do they have enough experience ? I mean, when you think about it, the cutscenes are fine because they are short. On the one hand, if Abe is as "superficial" as he is in the games, it could get boring.
As Holy Sock pointed out, the plot (and characterisation) for the Abe movie was a lot more complex than in the game. Lorne's plans have changed at various times, but at some point Abe wasn't even a slave but rather a fisherman whose life was affected by pollution put out by Rupturefarms. Another version had him being really empathetic towards animals, and he worked to help the animals escape, which is what led to the Glukkons choosing to use Muds as a food source.
