Has anyone seen the movie gamer yet?
I dled it tonight since it came out on the 19th, it was pretty decient, the idea was good, but i thought that it could have been executed better.
the one game the played reminded me alot of gaia on how you can pick your human and dress and control them like you would like, not to mention one of the girl characters shown was controlled by the obese drooling nasty nerd in a wheelchair so yeah... i usually picture gaia players at their desks naked or wearing cosplays... idk why.

I saw that. It was hard as hell to watch. But it was awesome. And the nerd was disgusting lol. He looked chinese
#3
Yea, seen it. If it came out on the 19th it must have been leaked online?

I thought the start was pretty decent. Could have ended better.
#4
I wanted to, but I didn't hear that many great things about it.

It was good if you like action and sex. But bad for a story line
#6

#7

#8

Yes if you like short movies about insane people. No if you don't want to waste your time.

There are much better choices, had this on my psp for awhile, reminded me that I should delete it :/
#11
It was a decent action-ish movie. I watched it on jtv a few times because I had nothing better to do, and I was supporting my friends stream.
It had a storyline, but lacked any setup to the storyline, which kindof sucked.
#12
yeah, it didn't really develop the characters well... whos with me it reminded you of gaia/sims XD
#13
I thought Gamer was pretty great. Some parts are more graphic than others, but nonetheless they are graphic. It was kind of ruined for me though, due to the black guy being in The Longest Yard as Cheeseburger Eddie. XD
Anyways, if you like action, this movie is for you.
#14
lol, which black guy there were two.

Sims here xD I wanna control people, someone make a game like that. D:
#16
It was a pretty decent movie, you get lost really easy though if you're not paying attention. If 2012 doesn't screw us over, this eventually will.
#17
I havent seen it yet..The guy at the barbershop i go to is selling it for 5 dollars bootleg but good quality...I might buy it
#18
Yea...its an awesome movie...i seen it a few
days ago at my friends house...:D
#19
The movie was basically about how to get kable and his wife out of the game and yeah it was funny and the obese wasnt Chinese he was white and was trying to get sex LMFAO
#20
I want to see it >.< It kind of reminds me of this movie where they let gamers control inmates in war like they were an actual videogame.

Me too. That's accurate I think.

Its a pretty good movie, Leonidas and Ludicrous in a movie is a pretty safe bet that a movie will be good.

Ya I just kept thinking as I was watching it he should just break out with one of his lines from the longest yard ''I got the fries that'l cross yo eyes'' haha:D

But no I thought that movie was great to bad in real life the future will never be like that. The people who volunteered themselves to go in the game and leave free if they won 30 matches though it said that in like 20 sum years on kable came close haha:D
#23
I plan on watching it, just 'cause my girlfriend's been nagging me to get it for her. Glad to hear it's as mediocre as I'd expected. >_>
#24
I saw a little bit of the beginning ... and yea it was pretty strange and made me want to play FPS alot less ... when you picture it that way its kinda brutal and un-fun (not fun)

so not too much speculation on it other than ... terrible
#25
surrogates was a better version of gamer. i mean gerard butler is pretty cool, and the part where the dude blows the guy's head off then tea bags him is hillarious, but overall, it could have been improved a good bit.
#26
a must see movie, i have it on DVD, god everything was done so well
#27
yeah i own the dvd i thought it was pretty sick that you could control someones life XD
#28
Yes it was cool.
I saw it on a website so the quality wasn't all that great but it was still a good movie.
#29
Didn't plan on seeing it, so I read the plot on wiki, seems okay, but could be better.
