Nom nom nom. That's the sound for Pac-Man.
So I was really intrigued when I first saw this trailer because I love video games. The challenge of beating something is my kind of game, which is pretty much every game.
The film opens up establishing the characters involved in the saving of the world when they are younger. You see the history behind their competitiveness and what games they are good at. The plot continues with showing us what each kid grew up to be and I thought it was interesting that Kevin James became president. But that makes sense since otherwise how would these gamers be found to defend the world?
Of course the plot is ridiculous and it is very unlikely that this could ever happen in real life, but it is pure entertainment. It answers the question of what alien life forms would consider our society and the playing of these classic games.
I liked that they stayed true to the classics and did not include any new video games. The characters were funny and it worked well all together. But like usual the best parts were in the trailer. There were maybe only one or two other parts of humor that were not included in the trailer. Are these worth paying for? Perhaps in the morning when there are cheaper tickets. Therefore I give the film 3 popcorns.
