The 'Gamer' Movie is a Strange Mess

gamers rise up

‘Society’ is basically VR Chat.

People act like the masses would not enjoy slaughter like this...as if the Roman Coliseum was not a thing.

Imagine being mind-controlled by a 15 year old and he forces you to teabag an actual dead person.

This movie has an insane B-list cast… - The kid is Percy Jackson - Fucking Ludacris - Starkiller from the force unleashed as the child custody guy - 300 man - Funny old spice man - Dexter Jesus Christ

I'm a "gamer" and I've literally never heard of this movie until this came in my recommended.

The most dystopian thing in this story is the implications of there being enough people on death row for the game to be at all sustainable.

7:12 When I saw this movie, my take from this guy wasn't that he was an "average gamer", but instead rather the concept of the warning "you don't know who you're actually talking to on the internet", taken to an absolute extreme. The guy's got a great looking girl as his avatar, fooling the people he interacts with online, but behind her lies a different person entirely. Like the old saying, "online, all men are men, all women are men, and all girls are undercover FBI agents". Also, not gonna lie, I massively respect the actor for taking on this role. The auditioning went "Hey, we need someone to play a fat disgusting outcast of society, who serves as a deterrent to the rest of humanity" and this guy just went yep, I can do that.

This whole movie feels like a giant surreal shitpost that's under 35 layers of irony

My brother actually liked the starting scene so much he started shaking on the floor

A ton of people cheering for someone's death with "LONDON" right underneath is pure comedy. Perfect film.

Something about a young actor telling The Arbiter's VA about the many kinds of nut butters is truly amazing.

Movie called “Gamer” that says “we live in society” This movie was ahead of its time

You've gotta love how the movie is named "gamer" and one of the first things that happen is a guy explaining the concept of society

Imagine reading the script, seeing "ping" and doing a sound effect and no one corrects you and you keep that take because no one knows anything about games.

thank you for taking the time to highlight scenes you thought were cool, it's important to remember bad movies can still have cool scenes

"retardedly gay" is a really accurate line. 10/10 writing

i mean... myballshurt is a stunningly accurate username even today

that "myballshurt" guy is the most realistic thing ever

25:21 after not playing tf2 for 3 years i shall play it again just because of this here
