Review of Lazer Team (2016) by Boredbrit — 27 Jan 2016

TL:DR A pleasantly enjoyable film, regardless of if you're a fan of Roosterteeth or not.

The chemistry between the team comes across really well, making the cringing moments in the film (some things a parent shouldn't witness...) very believable, as well as their general interactions with each other. Really gave me a sort of Ghostbusters camaraderie feel with them. That's then backed up by solid work from Alan Ritchson, especially seeing his reactions with being forced to work with a group of common joes when he's essentially been training his entire life.

The story is a touch predictable at times, yet honestly the performances carry it though. As far as the design goes, for low budget they've done a good job. There were moments from the trailers where I feared things that were CGI looked too fake but the final versions look fine, certainly for a low budget production. The general physical set design really sets up the look nicely, to the point of where the CGI blends in pretty well and is believable.

Above all, a perfectly enjoyable film made by a group who I enjoy watching and I could easily see myself watching it again and recommending it to others as a great watch.
