Yup...so...this movie is by far the most disturbing and messed up movie that I've seen in a long, long time. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. In this movie (as the title is called), it explores the life and times a gamer playing a game. Except the game is with real people with emotions and lives.
In the movie, you see the in-game characters take part in a lot of different things that might seem ordinary in a game world (tea-bagging, fragging, sex). The only catch is all the in-game characters are real people. So seeing a morbidly obese man getting off to watching his female character getting taken from behind doggy-style can be rather upsetting. Watching a grown man tea-bagging another gamer with his face blown off is rather disturbing. Moral of the story: its all fun and games until its done in real life.
There is much to think about with this movie, but it all is blown away with graphic and disturbing sequences of violence. There were moments where philosophy could have been discussed but instead we cut to Gerard Butler beating the shit out of everyone around. Now, this isn't bad. Its a good movie to just watch when you have nothing to do, but just don't expect it to be as deep as it could have been.
But really, there's nothing going for this movie that you all haven't already seen before. That said, I have absolutely nothing more to say about the movie. Go watch it if you want. Your life won't be extended if you do and you're not missing much if you don't. It's one of those movies.
