Yet again I’ve become pretty slack with the film reviews, but to be honest this one was quite forgettable….Infact, I’m almost tempted not to even bother reviewing it, but that would be a big mis-justice on the film world!! For every good film, there are the bad & all must be reviewed!!
Anyway, Gamer should have been soooo much better than it was, a pretty decent cast & interesting concept…basically it seems that us humans in the future get way too addicted to online gaming & social networking!! So much so, some people pay to play their character in a real life ‘Sims’ online community called ‘Society.’ Infact, the characters are actually played by real people who get paid for the pleasure of doing what some fat bloke in a chair halfway across the world tells them to do….
On top of that, the latest craze to hit the online community is ‘Slayers,’ where much like the film ‘DeathRace,’ the countries top criminals fight in an online battle (think Call of Duty etc) in a chance to win their freedom!! Of course, nothing is that easy….the crazy wacko behind this online world is just as twisted as the whole concept that he invented!! Basically, injecting some special nano cell technology into their brains, in order to hook them up to the tinternet!!
Sounds crap eh?….yep it was, but I still think the whole idea was pretty good. Especially, how realistic the online community ‘Society’ was & how much like Playstation Home it was….I can just imagine all the fat blokes in chairs parading around as short skirted bimbos!!
Anyway, my score out of ten is exactly the same as Chris’ score after his review….. 3/10.
