It’s Sandler versus aliens versus some computer game characters.
Really? This 2015, Columbia Pictures treat us into a near future time when some
classic computer games will become reality. Pixels, based on a 2010 internet short film of the same name by
Patrick Jean, will give us a good laugh and adventure out of some familiar
digital icons.
Based on the newly-released trailer, the impending
catastrophe is actually NASA’s fault. Back in 1982, they sent a time capsule
into the outer space in the hopes of establishing peaceful communications with
extra-terrestrial life. The capsule contains images and footage of Earth life
and culture, including some classic arcade games. However, the games which include
Pac-Man and Donkey Kong are interpreted oppositely. The aliens attack the Earth
using the games as models for their assaults. President Will Cooper then calls
his childhood best friend, 80’s video game champion Sam Brenner, now a home theatre
installer, to lead a team of old-school arcaders to defeat the aliens and save
the planet.
Movie casts include Kevin James as Pres. Cooper and Adam
Sandler as Sam Brenner. Sandler’s team include Josh Gad, Peter Dinklage,
Michelle Monaghan and Denis Akiyama. Directed by Chris Columbus, Pixels will hit cinemas on July 24,
2015.
