FPS: First Person Shooter (2015)

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

This movie can actually be summarized with a single word: no!Actually I will be gracious here and give it three words: no, just no!Well, let's be fair and honest, "FPS: First Person Shooter" didn't really have the odds in its favor, now did it? I mean, a movie made like a First Person Shooter styled game, just how thrilling and entertaining can that be? Well, it might have had a chance if it wasn't so ridiculously laughable.First of all, you have to suffer through the worst graphics ever in that abysmal intro. Why did they even bother with that? Was it meant as a joke? It was just painful to watch, especially since even the dialogue was equally bad.Then the movie finally started, and it just slumped to an even lower place. I actually turned it off after this point. I just managed to watch like a couple of minutes of the actual live action movie, after having suffered through that grievous animated intro.Everything about this movie was just abysmal. The acting, the cinematography, the plot, the concept. Probably even the special effects, but to be honest I don't know, because I gave up on the movie before it got to a point where they used special effects."FPS: First Person Shooter" will be quickly forgotten, like a dirty, shameful secret. And I have no intentions of returning to watch the rest of it, because it just lacked anything that even remotely resembled entertainment or appeal.A bottom-scraping one out of ten stars for "FPS: First Person Shooter". Do yourself a favor and avoid this one.

If you watch this as an experiment, as a first time feature, as something the filmmaker tries to learn from, then you will be able to "enjoy" it. Just watching someone else play a game can be fun I reckon (SharePlay and a lot of YouTube channels would suggest so), but it can get boring and annoying too.There's a lot of gaming references and it is old school with things (if you pick something up, there is no animation of your character picking it up, but it disappears for a second to reappear in your hand/s), which is sort of funny and stays so during the course of the movie. The effects aren't amazing and the acting is on low level too (that voice can be disturbing in a bad way). A short movie would have been sufficient, but I guess someone had to one of these ...

I never thought I could keep watching this movie. But after 10 minutes I wanted to see what will happen at the end. It reminded me many scenes from the old indie FPS games specially Blood (1997). Blood was my favorite game along with Quake 1 and 2 and Doom series and that amazing Wolfenstein 3D (1992). It was a cheap movie but worth to watch. The filming location was creepy as hell and the ending was unpredictable at-least to me. The guy's voice also was also very similar to the Blood's one. If you like to be reminded about the old good times you were playing these games it is a good movie to watch. I am expecting to see more from the creator. He definitely showed some talents making this movie.

I had no idea what to expect from a movie called First Person Shooter, so I went in with no expectation, simply waiting to see a cheap movie and nothing more.Was it cheap? Yep. Was it bad? Well, define bad. The camera work was quite good for what it meant to be, the lines, most of them, borrowed from other movies, but used properly. Had a gag there. The story? Typical zombie flick. The intro of the movie, laughed out loud, the rest, exactly like an old school horror game that maybe, moves too slowly sometimes.Many good references to other movies and games, will put a smile on your face for sure, of course, not as a horror movie but as a indie little project that worked alright in the end. It really did act like a game, considering this is what it aimed for, I think it managed to hit the mark.Thus, First Person Shooter is simply a project, a beginning for someone's career and from this alone, my opinion is that we could expect great things.Cheers!
