Just finished watching Gamer. Wow. Blown away.
It also has alot in common with another movie that came out last year that I was really into, Surrogates, staring Bruce Willis. They both depict a future society on the brink of losing its humanity through technology.
This move nailed what our future could be like, if we let it. The references to actual "gamer" jargon, "teabagged" for example, are spot on. They even got technical things right, such as the use of the term "ping". I wont go into a summary of the movie, its too engrossing. Having gone into it fresh made it all the more enjoyable.
Its not for the squeamish, its one of the more violent movies I have seen in a while. There's also alot of nudity, and sex. But its integral to the story, not something thrown in to improve sales.
Gerard Butler is becoming one of my favourite actors, serving up great performances in action, comedies, and everything in between. Two other good movies of his are The Ugly Truth, and Rock 'n Rolla.
