Review of Pixels (2015) by Henry A — 25 Jan 2016
Pixels was served with ideas that came from video games back in the 80's. The film would give us many nostalgic feelings - especially for the elders. The ideas are fresh (in the trailer): entertaining, tempting, and unforgettable.
BUT (note: this is a big butt, sorry 'but").
The storyline was as easy as 1-2-3. You can predict every second of it - resembles the 'Writer's Journey,' without even bother to change some of it. The target of its movie was for children, not adults (adults who was more familiar with the games in the movie). The trailer spoiled some of it also.
The jokes weren't with us anymore. We have passed beyond a point of humor which was more intelligent than that. They think we are stupid. Even kids now days are better than that.
In the movie, everything IS a joke! Idiots, Idiots are everywhere!
When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I thought how they might thought about some developed ideas for the film. I was so excited. Then, there they are. Spitting at their own feet - told themselves they've done their best job and laugh. In truth, they just wrote it with no effort.
The joke was on the filmmakers.
The verdict:
Go see another movie!
