Gamer is just big dumb fun. I love video games and I found the satirical depictions of popular shooter call of duty and sim games such as the sims and second life, hilarious. There is no realism here, it's just a lot of crazy action, bright colours and wisecracks.
The effects are decent, the acting is pretty cheesy and the story is utterly implausible. And I don't care, because this film is great fun. It's mindless entertainment, and sometimes that's what I'm in the mood for, which is why I gave it five stars.
