movie review - Pixels

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2017.10.01

This is an Adam Sandler movie in which he and a (rather excellent support cast of) team fight to save the world from space invaders that have chosen the form of all our favorite '80s video games. Such as Pac Man and the one where you shoot up through your own defensive structures. It's harmless fun with an unexpectedly sour note from the otherwise sterling Sean Bean. Speaking of, this has Peter Dinklage in it, hamming it up to maximum effect in a perfect rendition of an '80s movie villain.

But.

Not recommended.
