I like the guy in Dexter but its depressing that this is his major blockbuster film debut since his "acting" seems to be horrific. Probably the fault of the creators.

And even if I didn't hate them, it bothers me that apparently that's the only genre worth noting. The hell happened to platformers or action/adventure titles being the main? Sigh....

Don't get me wrong, I've always wanted games to get more popular and in demand, raking in more money, because I wanted the world to see video games as an interactive art form, and a fun and great experience. As well, I wanted great games to get money so more great games could be made. Not what happened. We get tons of tongue and cheek unoriginal brain dead poorly written first person shooters hogging up the market, and suddenly that's the only genre of gaming that exists outside of sports games. Yeah, you're a gamer because you play another game with a floating gun. Hell, if it's not fps games, or even 3ps games, it's some fucking MMO(like that NCIS episode Spoony reviewed). Now that developers are finally releasing several other genres, the media/casual fucks still haven't a single clue. It's like the media is ALWAYS one or two or, hell. ten steps behind the real world. I saw a commercial about seatbelts that involved a kid sitting around playing a GTA look alike. Stop it. Please. for the love of fucking god, stop it. I just... I can't take it anymore. This isn't how I wanted it to heppen. I miss the days when games weren’t so fucking mainstream.

I generally like it for what it was a sci-fi flick that being said Gerard Butler and Michael Hall are amazing. The concept that was set up in the movie is very nice referencing, Second Life and multiple FPS games. I like how the point of the movie was simply to point out that we are puppets in a way in our society, and our Human self indulging and selfdestructive nature. I can pull more out but Im going to stop here. Over all a decent sci-fi flick, & very violent =))) I do not see any similarities in between the movies nor was I reminded of Running Man when I saw it.

One man must fight for his freedom, controlled by another man, controlled by his lust for mountain dew and cheetos. Jamie Lee Curtis, Gene Wilder and Morgan Freeman (as the internets) star in Gamer! Will the sun come out tomorrow? You better bet you bottom dollar! Sorry yeah, great 5-second movie. I'm glad people notice that is just a retread of The Running Man. Also, if you haven't seen The Running Man, go rent or buy it. It's classic Arnold and even features an annoying female love interest/side kick. In a world where the internets have taken over.
