Title: Gamer (Gerard Butler movie)
Post by: Eiksirf on January 27, 2010, 12:20:01 PM

It\'s out on DVD now, so I rented this expecting it to be awful, but it was pretty funny with good action and a mostly coherent plot.

The best for me was in the opening scene, though. Butler, being controlled remotely by the game player, was blasting people away in the third-person-shooter environment when he stopped and knealt down a few times over a fallen enemy\'s face.

Then he ran on like it never happened. Cracked me up.

I just cant stand that kid. seems like the eptiome of a yuppie white kid that deserves an ass kicking. That posiedon movie looks like it could be alright, but then they put that kid in the movie and now it just looks like a crappy disney movie

Oh, yeah he\'s kind of annoying, but he\'s not in it as much as you might think. They focus more on the "in-game" characters.
 
By the way, the tea bag scene is on YouTube. Not as funny out of context, but still cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0U2Xob7cJ8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0U2Xob7cJ8)

Not the best movie out there, indeed.

I guess FPSs will be like that in a decade (graphic realism, I mean).
