Gamer is just wow!
Some years from this exact moment… is how the movie starts. I just loved that line. Plus, the theme song of the movie is Marilyn Manson’s version of Sweet Dreams. Quite fitting, I’d say. Moreover, the movie stars Gerard Butler and Michael C. Hall.
After 300, I just wanna shag meet Gerard Butler. And I loved Michael’s acting and character in Six Feet Under.
The whole idea of the movie is totally new to me. People controlling other people via nanocells. Kinda like the Matrix, with a nice twist. But that’s not what impressed me the most. What I was blown away by was the dynamism of the camera shots. It really felt like Quake, on steroids. If you’re not careful, and the cinema’s decent, the frames themselves grab you by the ass and make you dodge bullets.
Also, the way in which humanity is portrayed, the occasional funnies and the intimacy you’re fed make for one big bonus. It’s definitely a ballsy movie for ballsy people, and is well worth a Saturday at the movies.
Did I mention Gerard Butler’s in it?

Mmmm… Gerard Butler. One of the reasons I wanted to see this Gamer movie
Camelia, that was my initial argument too. Now, in retrospect, the movie’s worth so much more than that.
But it still means a lot.
haha! OMG, Gerard Butler rocks my socks. Thanks for the tip, I’m so getting the movie right now! I have a friend who accidentally ran into G. Butler in NYC. Can you imagine the luck some people have!
hee hee
p.s. Yeah, this melinda
Meli, once more: it’s not just Gerard Butler that makes this movie great. Though his presence alone is enough to get you through the movie smiling.
I definitely recommend watching this in a good cinema!
Oh, I just came from the cinema. The movie is ok, but the ending is just so abrupt. He, it really is a Saturday movie!
And I would like to wear Gerard’s children <- there, I said it!!!
And about the movie, it gave me a feeling of Matrix mixed with Existenz, but with a touch of something new.
Anda, I’m glad you liked the movie! And I didn’t know you were such a huge Gerard Butler fan… There should be a local chapter of his fan club right here!
Hey, I own a similar blog as yours, and have a question. How do you control spam?
Christian, I use two popular wordpress plugins, plus a homebaked plugin. Good luck trying to break in.
