When Brenner and Ludlow were in Hyde Park in London, England, they were shooting centipedes with a pressurized photon gun.
To the world, they are heroes. Funny as it may be, it's the truth.
Formed by aliens, the pixels in the 80's game console have become alien invaders.
So the former video game king, now the old otaku, saved the world.
Again, all this is ridiculous, but at least it gets the truth right:
people have their own strengths and values, and they may have good times and may be mediocre.

Nostalgic sci-fi film
The entire screen is filled with game characters from the game consoles of the 80s. In the heavily fortified base and the bustling street, they become a large group of villains, just Like the big monsters in alien movies, but I can't see how scary they are. Only when their cute bodies turn the people or buildings they touch into cubes of different sizes, will they be surprised: Oh, this kid really has two hands.
When several protagonists accept the challenge set by the aliens, it does not seem to be the savior. The sergeants and terrified passers-by were waiting to watch the fun, just like the surprised little friends who surrounded Brenner when he played the video game DreamWorks in his hometown for the first time. When dueling with pixels, Brenner, Ludlow, and Eddie's faces often showed joy in their hearts. They had been addicted to 3D, or 4, 5, and 6D games.
Whether it's someone from the 80s or not, the film is just a sci-fi fairy tale. And people who have lived experience in that era, especially when they were children, entered the game arcade, and it was a whole youth memoir.
Old-fashioned plot routines
are mentally prepared for the plot before watching the movie. Hollywood movies have always been very stubborn. Those who tell sci-fi will not set their minds to tell stories, and those who show actions will not understand the logical relationship clearly. Generally, only when they are honestly making a drama will they correct their posture. , take it as seriously as you would finish a test paper.
The film follows the old routine of the protagonist's once brilliant - mediocre reality - unbelievable - shocking the world, and in the detailed plot, they are also conscientiously leaning on this line, so within the first three minutes of the movie I understood the beginning and guessed the ending. Later, my mind was released, because I was originally watching a nostalgic film from the 80s.
Here's a brief talk about the comparison with domestic sci-fi films: domestic sci-fi films have been endless in recent years, and they are well versed in taking others' strengths and avoiding their own weaknesses, so before and after the movie, it is often found that the creative team has a certain Hollywood studio words. In sci-fi movies, the difference between domestic production and original production is no longer the film's performance, but mainly the details of actors and narrative logic.
Domestic sci-fi films also never tell stories well, but they are even more lazy. The immediate feeling brought to the audience is that the sci-fi elements and the story background can be completely separated, and the two do not disturb each other. Actors also often lack a sense of substitution, and they can't tell whether they are in a daze or distracted, and the authenticity of the interaction with the sci-fi characters in the film is insufficient.
Although Hollywood's non-drama films have obvious shortcomings, the overall routine, especially the handling of details, is still very worthwhile to learn from domestic films, but it should not only be similar in appearance rather than in spirit.

The success of the film lies in the choice of subject matter and does not take the usual route. In the past non-human science fiction films, the villains were all traditional ferocious monsters, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic, as long as the visual shock was good. Taking the pixels in the game consoles in the 1980s as the villain, in addition to being shocked for a while, more are full of memories.
People who like this movie should go to the past in pixel monsters.
If there is no common sympathy in memory, some people will scold: What a bad movie.
