To me, this movie is perfection.
Must See Movie...
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
For those of you who couldn't get enough of "Gamer" or "Stay Alive" we have this modest production. A group of the world's top gamers who happen to be loners are offered a $100,000 prize to compete. They don special suits. They enter a 3D graphic world where they find weapons and must work their way down through 25 levels to get to the basement battling armed terrorists. When you die in cyberspace, the suit kills you. Attempts to escape or circumnavigate the rules are severely punished.It was a good concept and the plot elements and scenery was decent. The characters were diverse but not entertaining. Where was that one character we hated to see die? We need to get attached to the characters before they start to slaughter them. And plot spoiler, the black guy dies first, like in every cliché American horror film. How much would it have cost to have Jim Parsons to do a cameo as the game designer or the computer voice? Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
this movie was very surprising in the level of quality it offers, it's story was very unique and the characters were very well developed and acted. which brings me to the actors, they weren't A list or B list actors but were all really good. the effects and general layout of the virtual world were really well designed.final verdict: definitely worth the watch for any action or sci-fi fan.
You know it is a bad sign when you start hoping the characters in the movie will just die already. Like others have said the concept was good but the execution was terrible. First off the acting was atrocious. And the stereotypes were so obvious and boring. Me and my husband both said the black guy was going to die first. It was like they followed the formula "how-to-make a bad movie". It is boring. The set pieces were same. The 'action' was so boring I kept fighting falling asleep. I kept rolling my eyes through out the movie. It is not good when writer's make the characters do stupid things. Stupid stupid stupid movie. Don't waste your time on this movie. It is so ridiculous. You don't care about anyone. You hope they all die because they have been so stupid.
I have never written a review before. I probably won't again. But this movie was truly awful. I mean if when I say do not waste your time. The plot twist - that the game actually kills people - is revealed in the first act. The rest of the movie is so boring. I saw this as the concept was really cool, and I was so disappointed. I kept watching expecting it to get better - maybe there was a further plot twist. Nope, just that one of the players was running it - shocking . The movie ends with the winning player killing the creator of the game and leaving the building. That's it. I could not believe such a poorly made move exists. I am usually not very critical of movies, I enjoy many low budget, cheesy movies but this was just too far. 1 dimensional characters in a 1 dimension plot. Very poor production. Good things about it? Ummmmmmm.......I didn't find the actors as bad as some of the other posters say they were (they were still bad, but I've seen worse). I have a pretty high tolerance for bad acting though. My 1 star rating is based on writing mostly, as well as directing. The special effects were decent, but this is proof that CGI is worthless without a good storyline. One of the worst, most predictable, and boring story lines I have seen in a while.
