Watch Geri's Game For Free

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This animated short film tells the story of an old man, who plays a game of chess with himself in the park. As he loses the game, he decides to turn things around with a drastic move."Geri's Game" is an interesting animation, as we see only one character but he plays both sides of the game. In the middle of the film, it gets unclear whether there is really just one man or there are two. Yet, I think the ending resolves this issue. It is a funny animation, but it is not as outstanding as the recent Pixar short animations.

an old man . in a fall afternoon. playing a game of chess. against himself. poetry. and a lot of errors about the details of a game of chess. but, more important, a lovely story, beautiful animation and touching end. childish solution for win. and a bizarre prize. but the subject is more profound than an impeccable animation. because the great impact source is the reflection of the life of viewer in the images of this gem. if the youngest version of you is in your face.What are you doing ? the game of chess proposed by Jan Pinkava is a reasonable answer. for its symbols. for the signification of the end. for the spirit of an age who seems represent the fall. short, a lovely animation. about yourself.

I have always loved the Pixar short films, and they are generally consistent with their feature films as well. Geri's Game is my favourite of their short films and I am a big fan of Knick Knack, One Man Band and Presto too. The visuals are astounding, full of bright colours and sophisticated backgrounds and character designs, advantaged by the single best editing of any of their short films. The music fits the mood and story beautifully, the story alone makes it one of Pixar's most charming overall efforts and while not laugh out loud hilarious like Knick Knack or Presto the humour has an endearing gentle quality to it. Geri is one of Pixar's sweetest and most likable title characters, it is very easy to warm to him. All in all, brilliant and my favourite of the many great Pixar short films. 10/10 Bethany Cox

'Geri's Game' is a short, animated film by the geniuses at Pixar Animation, and it was screened in cinemas to precede 'A Bug's Life' (which happens to be my favourite Pixar production).This short film borders on perfection. Absolutely no dialogue is spoken in the film, but it doesn't need to be. The simple plots concerns an old man named Geri (whom you may recognise from Toy Story 2) who loves to play a high-stakes game of chess in the park. The only catch: He has nobody else to play with! This is a highly-enjoyable short. The music is beautifully fitting, and the animation is first-rate. The character of Geri (or, at least, one of his characters) is a very likable, bumbling old man.You can certainly see how Pixar earned themselves an Oscar with this short. Highly recommended.
