Watch The Gamers For Free

Very well executed

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

"The Gamers", a story about a hilarious fantasy role playing session, is the best no budget movie I've ever seen.I assume, it's the best thing you can do with $0.00, a cheap camera and a bunch of really motivated friends. Don't expect good acting, good costumes or anything like a complex script. So why do I give this movie 8 out of 10 points? Because it's funny. Really, really funny. You probably have to be gamer yourself, to get most of the jokes, but when you do, they'll make you laugh. Hard! Even years later you'll smile, whenever anybody mentions them.I highly recommend this movie to every gamer out there!

Anyone who was hazarded into the world of gaming will appreciate this movie. But you need to either be a Gamer or know a Gamer to get any of the humour in this ... film ... I hesitate to call it a film because it's more like a long video skit then anything else. Production values are about as low as they come but they are more than made up for through enthusiasm and the genuine portrayal of all characters through the neophyte actors.In the film you follow an all male group of D&D players as they Game in the campus dorm. You see them in real life joking around, annoying the hell out of their Dungeon Master by arguing rules, and getting harassed by the non-gamer female neighbour because of their over-enthusiastic role-playing (ie. yelling battle cries and victory dances). The real charm of this film lies in the portrayal of the D&D characters as they act out the actions of the table-top game. It's an opportunity for Gamers to see just how ridiculous some of the things they do in table-top sessions would be in an actual person were to do them in real life. For example, you cannot help but laugh as the thief steals the clothes off of a bar-patron without the man noticing simply because he has so many points in the skill that he cannot possibly fail.Inside jokes aimed at the gaming crowd are the heart of this film. That heart beats fiercely and never misses a beat.Warning: This movie is rife with quotable quotes. If you buy this DVD for a significant other who games be prepared to listen to hours and hours of quotes from this movie for the rest of your life. I'm not kidding.Ending a movie about gaming is probably the biggest challenge the writer of this script had to face. The games Gamers play can go on forever so how do you wrap it up all nice and tidy for a feature film? Brilliantly that's how. The ending of this film is unexpected and simply brilliant.This film is destined for the Cult Vault. Not very many people will see it -- but it will find a devoted following in the species known as Gamer.

As someone who has never really played an RPG, I'd just like to take the time to comment. I used to think of gamers as a pathetic lot who couldn't socialize in a real world and therefore had to find a fantasy land in which to associate with other introverts. Now I know I was right...but the movie was hysterical and I can sympathize a little better. Though short, the plot was catchy and the jokes, even if I missed a few were fairly apparent and quite amusing. With all the appropriate characters of any good story and a wit scarily similar to my own, I can honestly say I was at least giggling throughout the entire film. Just sit back and take it for what it is...a movie about life as a few know it made with $500 and a roll of the dice.

Hilarious! This is the *real* D&D movie. The switch from the real world of a bunch of college dorks playing D&D to the fantasy world of their characters acting out the action is appropriately seamful (the opposite of seamless). All of gaming's cliches are here; long-term gamers will see such gems as "Meeting the new party member", "What to do with the character of a player who couldn't make the game", "Hey--I rolled it", and "Well my *character* wouldn't do that".Good stuff. Best watched with your old high school or college gaming group.
