My Review

I remember going to see this movie years ago in theaters so now to end my movie reviews for 2023 closing it out with this one called Pixels see what I think about years later right below been a while since I see this as well.

If there any movies that close to 80’s vibes would be this one as intro is in 80’s font video games type very cool pretty colors too don’t see much of that in today movies that for sure anyway it starts off with kids playing arcade and one kid is in love with a video game character then it goes to arcade tournament which came down to Sam vs Eddie and final game was donkey Kong a old time classic by the way for most of us 80’s kids who grow up in that era this was movie for me because if it’s a good 80’s movie video type will indeed watch anyway Eddie win beating Sam and ever since he feels down losing though the rest of his life.

So far he worked for a nerd company fixing stuff or set up never heard of it much so he goes set up a tv and hook for a kid and then he meets his hot mom who just broken up with her husband so then he try to hit on her for some reason bad idea didn’t work out maybe later though.

Meanwhile it has started 80’s video game characters have come to attack earth now it up to Sam and gang to try to stop so Sam runs into kid who in love with hot video character woman yes he still in love with her and then tells Sam Ailens send 80’s video type characters to attack earth very strange I thought at first but effects look so cool they look so real like this was a real attack I guess if you shot them they turn into giant cubs this is pretty cool again CGI does look good and what something you not sure which video game characters from 80’s show up to attack earth so Sam the video game master is the only hope so next battle is in London, England which will be the next attack.

So they all head to England to try and stop the attack which is centipede game so Sam goes right after them and boy he got but he going to need more help as level 2 will be tough up to mud or wonder kid to go after them and help and he does they add a nice 80’s tune to make this fight even cool it was cool centipede was tough but in the end sam beat him so score is Earth 1 and ailens 2 1 more lost they warn them next lost they lose so they going to need more help so they must get Eddie help next to beat the most popular video game character pac man and they also bring in guy who create pac man as and it was real toru how cool is that but he try to talk pac but he get his hand bite I guess pac man is bad in this one pac man battle here is cool Eddie pretty much kill him twice the goal is kill him 3 times just like the game and it is over and Sam who was lucky ended so game over and it now 2-2.

Wonder kid finds a video game character that may help them beat the aliens even more hopefully Vern is name I think and also sam and violet are getting along with each other two at party.

Then ailens come on saying they broke the rules and now earth will end and worst news is violet son they got now it on.

The big battle is now they sending every 80’s video game character to attack earth and now wonder kid see his woman he love in lady Lisa who attacks him at first then he talks to her and saying he loves her and kiss him guess she turn good now.

And rest of crew go on spaceship too take on head boss which is donkey Kong pretty cool battle there and they win in a great battle Donkey Kong look great too but lady Lisa like other characters died but she comes back later as Vern character turns into her can of odd but ok then and it ended very odd but funny as well nice happy ended would of like to know what will be next for Sam though.

A lot of people do not like this movie but I do like it every character look cool a lot of game characters from my past was in too trust me you never see a good video game characters from 80’s movies again least I don’t think there be another one like this again so was good Adam Sandler movie as well just like his movies so what was best battle too me I pac man battle it was funny see pac man try to go after everybody that was fun to watch and other battles was good too great movie this was CGI look great too and most of time don’t say that either much about movies with that also like how they use 80’s music soundtracks as well so in the end will say it great see this one again and if have not see it yet do so I think you will Iike it as much as Did as well.

I give Pixels (2015) a rating of 7/10
