The idea is good, but unfortunately it sucks...

I first saw the trailer of this movie on Meituan. To be honest, I was looking forward to it. The second dimension counterattacked the third dimension, and Pac-Man became the villain. I felt the creativity was quite interesting. After watching the movie, I felt good Disappointed.

Interesting and creative, but unfortunately the plot is too stupid, the plot is quite premature from beginning to end, I feel that many plots are flawed! For example, how is the acceleration cheat code of the dwarfs used in reality? Is hitting a centipede in reality the same as hitting a centipede in an electric? And why not tell New Yorkers the truth ahead of time? At least the crowd should be evacuated in advance. If everyone throws their cars on the road and runs away and blocks the road, let's see how you can run... When will the government agencies have this kind of action, and the UK will be convinced in a few hours Aliens invade the earth, or in the form of two-dimensional? And I really can't see why only these people who play video games can defeat these aliens, the explanation given in the movie is completely unscientific! Why is there an arcade game in the material for aliens, and what is the importance of this thing to take up space in a rocket? Why are the aliens so stupid and sweet, obviously ready to destroy us, and then the protagonist just won a Donkey Kong and then really left, and repaired the doctor's hand, is it too simple? ... Anyway, this plot is really illogical at all, and people who watch it are very sad! Especially with the "Invincible Destruction King" Zhuyu in front, this "Pixel War" looks even worse...
In addition, the characters in the movie are not at all distracted, and the love between the male and female protagonists is completely boring, even people I think it's a waste of time. The legendary boy is basically useless in battle. He is just a soy sauce. In the end, he broke the dimensional wall and hugged the beauty back (although this part is very interesting), and the earthlings easily rebelled against the two. An alien, sure enough, aliens are all silly and sweet! And where did the dog that I got at the beginning as a prize go to, did the editor forget about it?
To sum up, this is a story of Diaosi who saved the world by playing games, marrying Bai Fumei, and of course, the story of marrying a two-dimensional goddess... The plot has a lot of flaws, not at all distracted, and the world view is not credible. Ordinary characters are meaningless, and the fighting part is more fun with Pac-Man, and the rest are average.
This is really a good idea, but it's a bad film...

Pixels quotes

  • Matty: Classics you mean Halo and Call of Duty?

    Sam Brenner: No. The real classics. Defender. Pac-man. Astroids. Games you play in an arcade which was a building outside of your house. You would go there with your friends, listen to music, cute girls everywhere. In ancient times, they call it 'socializing'.

  • Sam Brenner: I was supposed to have a baby with my ex-wife. And the doctor who was helping us make the baby did help us make the baby but unfortunately I wasn't in the room.
