To be fair, it's The Heros Journey. There is no way to avoid cliches when using that storytelling formula. Even Zootopia used it.

Ratchet and Clank is a film of two worlds. Comedy and Action-Adventure; film and games. It knows when to poke fun at itself, when to be meta, and when to take a moment to address the serious stuff.
For the film's pacing strengths and some clever writing, it does have it's pitfalls. It's full of story clichés, and it doesn't always give characters a full fleshing-out. It can also be alienating (no pun intended) to viewers who aren't familiar with the games.
But as Ratchet and Qwark so eloquently put it, "You can do anything if you have heart!" And just like Ratchet, those with experience sometimes have trouble recognizing the strength of that heart.
It's not for everyone, but I recommend it if you want a little something fun before the summer wave hits.
