Review of Gamer (2009) by Hellholehorror — 16 Feb 2022
I liked the style a lot. The visual destruction used looked good. It looked like Crank (2006) but less low budget. The sound was pretty good. It mostly sounded energetic and good but I thought there were some dynamic range issues.
It sounded like a cinema mix where they can have quiet and loud scenes but that doesn't work so well at home. I found myself changing the volume between action and story scenes. It was like Crank (2006) but trying to be serious.
It mostly worked. There were some really dry areas. The action was pretty cool. The ending too was an interesting story. The main bad guy was cool. Somehow the whole thing didn't really work and was a touch boring.
It was nowhere near as memorable as The Matrix (1999). It had the right elements but somehow it didn't work that well.
