I never expected to enjoy this movie so much. I came to the cinema just to accompany my ten year old daughter, but the story and the characters are amusing across time and space. Across time. The first video game I've seen in my life was "tennis" played using a TV set and graphically was two vertical bars that the players could move only up and down and a squared "ball" bouncing on TV screen's sides. There is a reference to this gamesaur in the movie. And many other references to well known and less known video games. There are also references to many other movies like Tron, Toy Stories, Cars and even Alien. Across space. I don't only mean that many video games have been produced in Eastern Asia, but also that video games have had an international diffusion and some of them are now icons, like Pacman or Mario Bros.
The plot is quite conventional: the strength of this movie is in details, many many details which made me wishing to watch it once again.
