As I went out of the movie theater after watching this film, two things happened. The first - my mind exploded. The second - coins fell onto the floor while making exaggerated gaming-like sound effects. This movie is by any definition, and especially visually speaking, a work of art. The scenes, the edit, the characters, the sounds and music, the special effects and pretty much every single aspect came together to form something that has never been made thus far in a live action motion picture. Gaming geeks are the main audience for this movie, because... well, the plot is very bizarre, and is based on a comic novel that is based on the idea of how it would be like if life was like a video game. a retro one. So yeah, a heath of warning: if you're the kind of person who looks for logic in whatever he sees, raising an eyebrow when something doesn't really makes sense or fit in, stay darn away from this film. But if you're open minded, a little bit geeky, and enjoy awesome scenes involving a ton of special effects, non-realistic one-on-one fights and many many MANY gaming and comic references, this funny and cool movie will indeed, blow you're mind. Hope you'll enjoy =) I have yet to read the graphic novel, but I sure damn intend to!
