Review of Pixels (2015) by Benarg — 14 Sep 2015

The whole film felt like an overblown idea given to the wrong production company. The original short film it was based off of was pretty damn good and I'd highly suggest watching that short video over this feature film.

Sandler was tasteless and lackluster as usual and I wouldn't want anyone wasting their money on watching this, rather to wait until it's on a streaming service (If it actually gets put on one outside of the USA).

It's near enough impossible for me to recall anything to do with the plot because it felt so poorly patched together that students that I've met before could have easily written better, and it's a damn shame that greatly talented writers are writing scripts that aren't going anywhere, but just because Sandler can bump his name and money behind a project means that major studios will automatically be more interested in backing it for either production or distribution.

There's a reason why they say the film market is dying and it's because they're too much deflated rubbish like 'Pixels' being green-lit, whilst there's an over saturation of individuals and smaller companies all trying to push to be near the top (for whatever reason: monetary etc).

Don't bother with anything Happy Madison produced anymore, just avoid it from now on because you'll simply be wasting your money. I learnt that after Master of Disguise...
