People need to lighten up

Rating: 7/10 (7 December 2010)

Some people may not get the whole idea of the movie and its style, which is fine, but does not make the movie bad.
Yes it is about video games, but even more, its about the setting. A basement-band with your friends in high school, girlfriends, ex boyfriends and girlfriends, a bunch of geeky stuff. Now given that you may have grown up in the 60's or 70's or maybe you just cant relate to the story, then obviously this isn't your kind of movie.
If you look past the style of the presentation, you get the main story. A young guy that is caught between women and can't make up his mind easily. He also has to deal with people that are telling him what to do, and boss him around a little. But the way it was presented makes this much more unique from the SAME OLD films about people in different situations. It is interesting because it is a different way of showing a simple story.
I'm not saying that this is the best movie however. Some parts left me hanging trying to figure out what was going on, and others did not have much explanation. Some scenes even seemed unnecessary. But what made this a decent movie in my opinion is figuring out what the story was about in the end. The last scenes is what put everything together to make sense (which some people do not like).
So overall, a decent movie if you play video games or have read comics, maybe relate to the basement-band scenario, and appreciate the art of the movie then you would probably like it.
