So guys, just got finished watching Gamer
LOVED IT, from the trailers I thought it would be a really bad film, mainly because the whole idea, people controlling people...but after watching it and getting to know the plot a whole lot more, it actually makes a ton of sense!
Basically Ken Castle (Michael C.Hall) created his own empire, his own lifestyle...his own universe's! - One called "Society" the other called "Slayers"...and people pay a subscribtion depending on which one they want to play.
Society, is like a real life sims, but without barriers, players log on, take control of real life people (the public can either, pay to be a user...or an avatar) and get involved in all sorts of behaviour...most of which is sexual. I mean honestly how many people who play Sims havn't thought "man, they should make a porn one"
Slayers, is every FPS fans dream, being able to control you're own player, even down to walking, crouching, firing, doing silly movements, that would be my personal dream. (Slayers are DeathRow inmates who got given an ultimatum, either Play the Game, and win freedom...or dont)
Ken Castle has built his "empire" out of pure entetainment value, doing minimal interviews, yet with all the publicity and the need for an alternate 'verse he has cashed in a hefty ammount of money, surpassing even Bill Gates (as stated in the film) but Kable (Gerard Butler) is the main interest in either of the worlds, being the reigning champ of Slayers, he only needs to win a couple more games before he is set free so he can be reunited with his wife (who is a Society avatar) and daughter.
Telling you anymore would ruin the plot totally, so I'm gonna leave t
hat there for now =D
This is one film that I would recommend going to see at the cinema, the audio is amazing (fighting sounds, fist on skin etc) the graphics are outstanding, they seem to be using an effect that I have seen a long time ago on a design website and it was totally awesome then, totally awesome now!
oh and also, the computer systems used in the future (in this film) OUTSTANDING, if computers are going to be anything like that, I welcome them... - Beanbag, in the middle of an oval shaped room, with Virtual Interactive Windows! thats AMAZING...
Go Watch The Movie
does not dissapoint!
