Pixels

Aliens attack Earth using classic arcade games as models for their offensives.

Trailer

Why watch this film?

Imagine Chris Columbus (director of 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone', 'The Perfect Nanny') directing Adam Sandler in a videogame movie. The result is 'Pixels', a strange but fun feature film. Here, aliens understand that a message with videogames is a declaration of war. From then on, they attack Earth using these games as models for their various offensives. Salvation ends up focusing on Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), a champion of video game competitions in the 80s to lead a team of veteran players (Peter Dinklage and Josh Gad), defeat the aliens and save the planet. It's a fun movie, although it never decides between nostalgia and silliness, which should entertain everyone from the youngest to the oldest. After all, despite Adam Sandler in the cast, it's a light and friendly comedy, as Columbus has become accustomed to doing. Oh, and be sure to pay attention to the references to classic games.
