Gamer - No Spoilers
By Eregion2 on 08/09/2009
Gamer was... interesting. Very entertaining, and the story itself (which extends a bit beyond what you're led to expect from the trailers) is absolutely top notch. EXCRUCIATING visual effects and flashbacks can make about half the movie a massive blur, but a very entertaining blur. The beginning has its kicks and starts but the rest of the movie is a huge adrenaline rush and the climax isn't lacking either.
There's a few loose strings at the end (due to some chaotic sequence syncing) which - frankly - can make it all a bit confusing, but overall I think it was definitely worth the entertainment price of the ticket. Also, there's definitely a societal critique underlying that bloodbath. It'll be interesting how this sets the stage for Surrogates at the end of the month. Anyway, very intense and nutty - Michael Hall is a superb modernized psychopath.
Just don't go if you're prone to seizures, I got out of the theater an hour ago an my eyes still hurt.

Saw it on opening day.
Was awesome.
REALLY loved the way they showed how the game was played.
I went into the theater not really understanding HOW it all was, and the whole premise of the "game," but boy was it worth the cost.
Very entertaining.
