Nerds can be Heroes too!

Hobey Ho lets Go! Greetings bloggers So I just got out of The New video game extraveganza Pixels! It was awsome, This is my Big summer flick and It was epic from start to finish. The characters, the story, the use of music and the Look itself made my afternoon! I admit my Only issue was how Loud the action scenes got in the theatre But overall a solid film. So Lets get into it!

WARNING DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE FILM SPOILED!!!

Ok so in this film we follow Sam Brenner (Played by Adam Sandler - 50 first dates, Hotel Transylvannia) who was a champion of Pacman, Ludlow Lamonsoff (Played by Josh Gad - Frozen) a Centipede master, Eddie Plant (Played By Peter Dinklage - Knights of Badassdom, Game Of Thrones) the King of Donkey Kong, Will Cooper (Played by Kevin James - Mall Cop, Hitch) master of the claw; from their time as children and meeting to performing in the first ever Arcade game challenge in which they find out they are being tapped, and finding out that the tape will Be added to the space time capsule that will be launched into outer space in the Hopes that Extra Terristrial Life finds it and that they too know we exist! well the film does jump to the present in which we meet up with the second placer Sam who has settled Into his life as a Electronics installer and its here we also see will has become the president of the USA. The aliens have beguin their attack and after we meet the female lead in the film, Lt. Col. Violet Van Patten (Played by Michelle Monaghan - Made Of Honor) we are reintroduced to Ludlow who nearly gets beaten up by Sam but damn poor guy And he shows us that some nerds Never grow up or Out of their childhood crushes! But in the USA we meet Admiral Porter ( Played by Brian Cox - Troy, Braveheart) who seems to really dislike his president Will and Sam, his story was one of the plotholes left open... But Now that the aliens have beguin the battle our heroes have to suit up after the Taj-mahal gets attacked the aliens have two trophies and our heroes are off to London England to deal with the 3rd battle. In London we meet another officer, Corporal Hill (Played by Sean Bean - Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings) who trys to keep the order of things going but gets dismissed when his SEALS appear to be failing its Here two of the Heroes have to step up to the plate and defend their home!  Now in London we meet the prime minister whom dear old Will simply cant understand But oh so funny! After their first real battle against the alien's Is a success we return to america where We are Reintroduced to Eddie Who is just as charming and witty as He was In the past! (note I simply adore how well their Young Eddie transitioned to the older Eddie! Peter did an amazing job And tubular!) So Our heroes find out their 3rd battle Is Pacman and In an amazing display of Stunts and special effects we Got an amazing end that was Like WHOAAAAAAAA! I mean Literally I was all WHOOOOOOAAAAAAAAA! So after all the Whoaaaing We see the victory party which is cut short By the Alien's stating we forfeit as one or all has cheated, we find its just one who did And we learn thats how he became the champion.... Violet's son is taken as the third ,forfeighted, trophy and then we find our Heroes are without help as they figure Out a plan. They learn from Q*bert, one of their trophys, about the aliens. the following day Will Joins them with weapons and all are suited up as they find themselves facing anihilation if they dont beat the aliens back. in another awsome string of scenes sees our heroes doing battle in the attempt to get under the alien's starship the group seperates with Will, Violet and Sam continuing on to the ship and Eddie and Ludlow on the earth protecting their fellow humans. Ludlow eventually comes across his pixellated sweetheart the Lady Lisa and finds he cannot bring himself to hurt her, in a beautifully quiet scene he tells her his feelings and she too stops. back on the ship, the others find their final challenge is Donkey Kong And Sam Learns from Violet's son that he is the champion truly and thus Donkey Kong Beguins.... in the end Our Heroes won And showed the world that nerds can be heroes too and even gaming can be usefull! :)

The Visuals and Special effects were so spectacular In the show, like how they brought the 80's arcade game characters to life in magnificent 3D. Even the pixels that came out of buildings when the aliens begain their Battle! Everything had such brilliant colours!

The story was fulfilling right to the end all in all a very enjoyable film I reccomend it completely! I rate this film 8 tubulars out of 10!
