The Ultimate Nerd Film

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2011)

There's two aspects you'll want to consider when seeing this movie: Number 1, did you play video games in the '80s and/or '90s? And number 2, are you a nerd?
If you answered no to either of those questions you'll still enjoy the movie, and you'll likely laugh throughout the film, but just know, you aren't the target audience. This movie is layered from top to bottom with wonderful references and gags that just fills a shameless nerd, like myself, with pure, unadulterated glee. Literally from the opening titles of this film I was laughing, and when I wasn't laughing I was grinning like an idiot. There were several times when I was laughing so hard that I could no longer see or hear the movie.
The only flaw with this film is that it was perhaps too funny, and that you were laughing too much that the emotion behind the love story never really sank all the way in. However, the sheer amount of humor in this movie makes it a very minor issue.
This is likely the last, best movie that's coming out until November of this year so go see it, please? This movie really deserves to be much higher up in box office scores than it currently is, so go help it out. I think you'll have a good time, besides, what else are you going to do? Give more money to James Cameron's ego project with the Avatar re-release?
