Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Eric Stevenson It's been years, close to a decade, since I saw an episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd. He is the most referenced Internet series ever created. When Channel Awesome became massive, I sort of forgot about him. This movie features the AVGN having people wanting him to review the awful ET video game. He goes to the place where the copies are said to be buried. He finds out the game was a map leading to an alien in Area 51.This movie is two hours long and I really did feel that was unnecessary. There aren't even that many jokes in this. Some of the effects aren't that bad, but others are really cheesy. Where was the singer from the intro in this movie too? Still, it's a completely harmless movie and the TGWTG anniversary movies really are better. I knew this Slender Man film would be bad. **1/2
andrewfoisy A self indulgent fest of unfunny jokes, bad acting, and terrible side characters.The movie itself has nothing to do with the Nerd other than the Nerd character being in it.Other than that you get a movie that is not good enough to be called a B-movie, but has so much more effort and time put into it.The length alone harms this movie, if it was 30 minutes it would probably much better.Overall disappointing and near impossible to watch, I found RedLetterMedia's Space Cop better; that alone is terrifying.
Jose Miguel Loreto James Rolfe, is what I believe to be the best you tuber around. His latest creation AVGN is such a radical web series. Even better than the Nostalgia Critic. Okay maybe the critic was fine, but the nerd is top notch. But if someone told you that there's a film based on the web series, you'd definitely say... WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?Yeah, that's this isn't the film that captured what the AVGN was all about. Okay well maybe it did, but only slightly.So we all know the nerd is famous on the internet, but why does work at a game store if he's famous? Who knows. But then he realizes that he has to review this parody of the infamous Atari game E.T. In the film, the burial of the cartridges was said to be an urban legend. WHAT?!That happened in real life. I even found a video proving that the games were in fact buried in the desert.So basically the nerd's goal is to review this game if he finds the games under the sand.But they're are times where film loses focus, saying that it also includes alien stuff. Even the effects are lame, was it really that difficult to hire an expert in special effects? Also most the acting is a bit lame, and what's even worse is that the nerd stays in character the whole time, even if Rolfe pulled off an amazing performance.The only thing good about the film, is the soundtrack. Why? Because it's a combination of game music and electric music. So epic. But that isn't strong enough to safe the film. Stick to the internet Rolfe, you may be descent filmmaker in your web series, but you're not ready to make movies just yet. So that's Game Over for you.
danblukk I have no clue why this movie is receiving such hate, were people going into it expecting The Shawshank Redemption or something.People saying it's cheesy and the effects are laughable, errr that's what they were aiming for, then start comparing it to other low budget films like Napoleon dynamite which was a weird creepy piece of crap.I'm not going to go into the plot and the acting performances you can see for yourself. One thing I was a little confused about was why they changed the names and covers of some games like they couldn't get the rights for them or something.To me this just seemed like a feature length AVGN episode defo worth a watch for nerd fans.
