Pixels Ratings & Reviews
匚卂尺ㄥ
March 18, 2025
A long awaited tribute to the pixelated heroes on the Atari that kicked off home video gaming and killed the arcade machines. Without Galaga, Pac-Man, Centipede, Space Invaders, Atari, etc there wouldn’t be Spectrum, Commodore 64, Mega Drive, Super Nintendo, PlayStation 1,2,3,4,5 and all the consoles that followed. Most are up in my attic nowadays, but they all have their place in history and some fond memories. Pixels is an entertaining homage to a time when the arcade was brought into the family home...and we still had time for a kick about outside with friends...unlike today’s kids who cannot kick a football or ride a bike. Great film, brilliant cast and as imaginative as the great minds that brought us video gaming and so much fun...the graphics have advanced immensely, yet, in the 80s the pixels was mind blowing!

Adam Graham
Welcome to the End of the World, Adam Sandler-style.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Nostalgia is a wonder and a cheat. The right touchstone can make the most discerning movie-goer forgive a film as lazy as Pixels. Almost.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Pixels is devoid of cynicism and it has a cheerfully cheesy vibe, and it's the kind of movie you'll forget about a week after seeing it.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Often fun and fanciful, though kids may not get the endless 1980s references.

Chris Stuckmann
This movie is aimed squarely at my nostalgia, and thus many things I hold sacred have been desecrated by this unholy mess of a film.
BuzzFeed News
Alison Willmore
There are scenes in the surreally lazy, occasionally funny Pixels in which Sandler's face slips into the exact same weary, disgruntled expression he wears in Funny People.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
This is just a lot of chomp-chomp-chomp and point tallies wafting upward whenever something game-oriented is blown up.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
It manages to achieve the weird feat of feeling overlong and choppy at the same time, like someone edited the film with a pair of garden shears.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
"Pixels" is a special-effects eyeful burdened by the fact that it is also yet another film in which Adam Sandler plays a man-child who somehow turns the head of an attractive woman.
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
When one considers how good this material might have been if placed in the right hands, to see it squandered this way makes it almost more painful to view than the typical Sandler stinker.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
This amiable Ghostbusters knockoff is unusually competent for a Sandler comedy.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
A real-life Space Invaders story that might have made for dumb, exciting fun if everyone involved didn't seem bored to tears, director Chris Columbus and star Adam Sandler very much included.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The arcade characters are far more vivid and have more personality than the humans in the story.
Dallas Morning News
Britton Peele
The experience is an exercise in cringing at bad one-liners and stomaching dumb plot devices before saying, "Aww, look, Q-Bert!"
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
Some movies are so interminable that it seems they might never end, while others are assembled with such indifference that you are essentially left waiting for them to start. "Pixels" somehow manages both.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Long before you've gotten a nickel's worth of entertainment out of this dumb, unfunny flick, you'll be wishing for the flashing sign that says "Game over."
New York Post
Kyle Smith
You get the feeling the boys spent the nine-figure budget on trips to Hooters.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
"Pixels" may feel flatter to kids of the '80s than it does to moviegoers too young to have known Pac-Man from Ant-Man.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
A ton of cameos by the likes of Serena Williams, Martha Stewart, and many others pop up with the regularity of thrown Donkey Kong barrels.
