Pixels

A movie that as Deadpool and Wolverine is all about fun and have a real sense... even if in some ways has its owns sense, the movie is pure fans for gamer lovers so I don't get why everybody accepted the marvel Deadpool and Wolverine movie and not this one. Probably times are changed but if you are gonna watched after 2024 and you love games as people love marvel, you are gonna have fun watching this movie which in my opinion has been not understood since probably many people are not old games lovers or I don't know why. So, this movie is promoted cause it's about game lovers and fun, as Deadpool and Wolverine is about the two heroes fighting, Deadpool's jokes, and Marvel fanbase. However, contrary to the marvel movie, Pixels was not well seen by the critics and most imports by people. However, now times are changed and you can see many people' s reviews talking about it. Talking about the fact this movie has been underrated and in order to understand it you have to admit that " why a movie cannot be just fan and for game lovers ?!." To conclude if you wanna have fun with some chilly and fun actors, you miss old movies and old games, and you have something light to watch; this movie will give you a perfect movie night alone or with whoever you want to :)

When I search for a movie, I read the real peoples reviews. They're the critics I listen to. And I'm glad I did! This movie was awesome!

Just watched this with my movie theatre-working friend who had watched this before and enjoyed it. I did too, though I knew this wasn't gonna be any greats shakes and it wasn't. There were some funny lines at the beginning and some of the video game gags did go a little well. Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Josh Gad, Peter Dinklage, and Michelle Monaghan did well with their roles. When I saw the arcade and all those video games during the 1982 sequence, part of me felt some nostalgia for the times I spent with my brother and his friend playing those games at that kind of place. About the ending sequence taking place one year later: lame. Though really, this was pretty enjoyable so on that note, Pixels is worth a look.

A fun movie, with bright actors. Entertaining and authentic. Worth surely the view

Aliens in the guise of video game characters prepare to take over the world and a group of 80s arcade gamers re-team to stop the threat.

From the director of Home Alone, Chris Columbus' Pixels plays as a mix of Wreck it Ralph, The Lego Movie and channels the likes of Independence Day and is reminiscent of Ghostbusters to name a few. This highly under-appreciated scifi comedy is a feature-length adaptation of Patrick Jean's video- game themed short. There's something for everyone but if you're a 30 something or more you'll find it hard not to like this retro game blast of a movie complete with arcade slot machine sounds.

Opening in 1982 those with an appreciation of the late 70s and early 80s surely can't help but love the throwback gags. It then fast forwards to the present day with Adam Sandler, Kevin James and Peter Dinklage's characters all grown up. It's fast paced fun with aliens disguised as Hervé Villechaize, Madonna and President Reagan. The contemporary cheap quips about Gandalf and Harry Potter also hit the mark. As the grown up nerd gamers assist the President (James) to save the world it's good natured with a flood of one liners, fitting effects and a soundtrack emulating a bygone era. It's packed with references from StarWars to Tron, writers Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling induce nostalgia successfully.

The supporting cast include the likes of Brian Cox, Sean Bean and Dan Ackroyd to name a few. There's also some celebrity cameos including Serena Williams and Martha Stewart. Characters from classic arcade games such as Paperboy, Space Invaders, Pac-Man and Donkey Kong among many others appear.

Despite scattered anachronisms (who's checking) Columbus' Pixels is sorely underrated, it has great visuals and perfect comedy timing. It also has subtext about today's games. It's very entertaining, even if your 're not a retro gamer or and 8-bit lover, it still comes recommended.
