"Pixels"

Doesn't this short render all future videogame movies obsolete?



Love it. Watch it.

Best short movie (any category), best visual and sound effects.

Even if you exaggerated, I think short films might be a more fitting form for the videogame movies.

They wouldn't try to add depth where it can't be added and more lightness in general. Of course I'm talking nonsense since that would give no money to the studios.

I guess it didn't really do anything for me. Old video game nostalgia and interesting effects don't necessarily make an interesting or entertaining film. I found it boring.

Wow! I thought that was super cool!

That was great! Reminded me of Logorama. My favourite bit was the Pacman eating the subway stations, very well played.

ADHD is a common problem among the younger generation. We used to have a 7 minute attention span, now it's like 30 seconds.

Be warned before you watch GIANT, it's a few hours long.

Heard a few months ago they are making this short into a feature. So look forward to that...

The problem is three fold: Uwe Boll, the good plots being much too large for movies and it being the "comic book" for Gen X.
