Superb fun

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 2018)

A superb family action adventure movie full of spectacular special effects and tons of video game and pop culture references. Exciting and thrilling, but also heartwarming and comical thanks to the great cast, likeable characters and moral messages. Entertaining throughout, the plot initially seems a bit simple as it follows video game logic, but there's a lot more to it and with something always going on, it's never boring. It's not perfect - the villain is a bit of a letdown and it drags a bit at the end, but it is a visual treat and relatively topical with the ever growing and ever-changing gamer culture.
