The Age of Commercialism

Thanks for the memories!

Good movie but grossly overrated

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

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 liked all the old Games a lot, this movie had a lot of references i liked. The German voice of the main character was appealing. It was much like a small System Shock. The Camera work was nice and well done, i liked every bit of it, not a bad B-Movie, compared to Boll this is genius production. It keeps all the promises it makes, and really, i was very entertained. The old hospital was a great location which was very well modified to resemble a apocalyptic scenario. Compliment to Mask, Camera Man, Editor and Production Crew who made a very well movie out of a tight budged. For fans of old games and fans of zombie movies only the combination of both will enjoy this greatly, but i did and therefore i should give 7/10.

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!
