The nostalgia of a post-80s who had no games in his childhood

Very very American, very very ordinary, very very heroic, very very streamlined movie.

but! I almost cried when Toru Iwatani, the creator of the "Pac-Man" game, faced what his son "Pac-Man" said.
You read that right, I almost watched crying in such a film that "the laugh point is still good, and the novelty is good"!

I don't know if it is because the Japanese English is too bad or something, anyway, I suddenly felt that the moment was so warm. But in fact, what happened in the next second also immediately forced my tears back...

As a person who has only played Tetris and has never had a game since childhood, it’s pretty good to be able to get these points. .

    Little Bee, Ping Pong Board, Gu Zao Snake, Pac-Man, Bucket King Kong... Except for Pac-Man and King Kong, the game skills and mechanisms were not used properly at all, especially the first two scenes were messed up with pixels. On the contrary, the ending animation is clear and clear. As bad as Kevin James's Mall Cop, all kinds of cold middle-class jokes, far less direct than short films. However, 8bit's feelings are there, I can't bear to give a low score :(

    3.3/ Premiere, the plot is so empty that you only watch the end of the movie for 3 minutes. The lines are also a subset of the vulgar and boring American talk show. The core of the story is to tell the dream forgotten as a child, but it is just a shell of a game movie. , But the script is too bad, even if the director has filmed Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, it will not help. Perhaps the only meaning of this film is to pay tribute to games such as Nintendo Games, Cairo Games, and Namco. 4DX watching the movie, I can’t sleep even if I want to sleep
