Review of Free Guy (2021) by Drenghel — 04 Jan 2022
The movie is littered with inconsistencies, and is a severe misrepresentation of what MMOs (and game dev for what's matter) look like, a somewhat mix of Saint Row and Wow. E.G., they could have pick up inspiration from things like GMod for the "mods having god powers" but no they went full Dr Strange instead, and don't get me started on the gamers are losers living in basements jokes...
It peaked at the Cpt America/Star wars scene,I watched the movie because it was not a sequel or from the MCU and they flopped most of the references (like the portal gun) to overdo this one...
The final plot-twist about the island still being in the reflections was maybe the one good idea, but eventually ruined by the island "appearing" for all the eyes to see when stepped on...
Such a waste a good nice idea, exploring actual "living" machine learning AI ruined by people who don't know that world and would rather cram not subtle politics into the viewer face.
Sorry if this is a bit unstructured bu I made that account to write it.
