PIXELS

Whoa, huge Pac Man terrorizing town! Whoa huge Galaga thing really attacking us! Donkey Kong throwing barrels! Aliens using video game to attack! Gotta be able to play the game to save the world!

I did not and will not watch the Pixel movie. But I probably captured all the movie try to say. Yes the 80s were great in video games. People who lived through that time all loved the simple entertaining video games. 80s die hard gaming fans should line up to see this movie right? (Despite you may get shot by some crazy guy at the theater and the world just shrug)

But waita minute, but what alien would attack earth with this... This idea is um, sorry, stupid. Look if aliens really copied Pac Man and Donkey Kong they would have been harmless 2D. And Pac Man has NO eyes.

It is very hard to come up with a reasonable good plot with old video game characters to have a winning movie. I didn't watch Wreck-It-Ralph either but I think that plot is being a bit more reasonable. But Ralph is a new character. If you really want a go for video game theme, just focus on one... but Van Damme's Street Fighter was pretty bad. Video games is perhaps best played not watched.
