TMB 077 Gamer

The Fourth Kind [trailer] - It’s based on real events (and Grizzly Adams had a beard). Usually people sitting on a couch for hours on end is not entertaining, interesting or worth anybodies time, this film is no exception. Editing seems to be the culprit for any kind of exciting trailer this film has. The Movie Bandits recommend that you don’t see The Fourth Kind. Watch a trailer for The Fourth Kind. Daybreakers [trailer] - This film is a slight reversal on the vampire genre. It’s not new to have vampire in a positive role. However, having 90% of earth’s population live as vampires is a fresh idea. The “Human” moments will/should be captivating enough to justify this role reversal. The entire premise is risky because of its tendency to be topical instead of pure sci-fi/action. The Movie Bandits recommend that you rent Daybreakers. Watch a trailer for Daybreakers. Legion [trailer] - This is really a classic story, so putting those issues aside, the special effects are somewhat cheap. This is especially annoying when the entire point of a trailer is to display something amazing. Getting back on point, the story will be about controversy between humans and angels. The Movie Bandits recommend that you rent Legion. Gamer - While it is rare for a movie based on a game to be any good, it is extremely rare for a movie about games in general to have any kind of quality. Gamer has its ups and downs. The in game scenes were dead on, but the game is only seen about 3 times. This film isn’t about a game, but about a man struggling to survive, which isn’t really a fresh idea. Computer interfaces weren’t cheesy and comedic moments are cleverly placed. Gamer is a movie that can easily be torn apart for any reason. Really, the only thing wrong with this film is its ending. For some reason the writers decided to end the film abruptly. There aren’t loose ends, but the ending just feels empty after 90+ minutes of rewarding film. The Movie Bandits recommend that you see Gamer in theaters. Hosts: Austin Brown, Ryan Asava, Ryan Stibich, Neil Ganshorn |
