Sinopsis(1)
Pixels cuenta como unos extraterrestres malinterpretan las imágenes de las máquinas recreativas como una declaración de guerra y deciden atacar la tierra, empleando dichos juegos como modelos para el asalto. El presidente de EEUU, Will Cooper (Kevin James), recurre entonces a su gran amigo de la infancia y campeón de las maquinitas de los años 80, Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), quien actualmente trabaja como instalador de sistemas de home cinema, para encabezar un equipo de expertos jugadores de su época (Dinklage y Gad) cuya misión será derrotar a los extraterrestres y salvar al planeta. Monaghan interpreta al experto en armas del equipo. (Sony Pictures Esp.)

Relaxing silliness with a surprisingly tolerable Adam Sandler, skillful direction by Chris Columbus (you can really tell that the film was made by an experienced man with a sense of humor) and a script that could (should) have been at least a little more thoughtful, so I could forgive Pixels even more. I wondered, for example, how one character in the eighties used cheats to play a video game on a coin machine, or that four riders were first absolutely needed to hunt down the giant Pac-Man on the streets of New York, but when after a while - even before the start of the "game" - the group lost one member, it did not matter. Well, what can you do? At least it was quite fun - if only that's how the new Ghostbusters had turned out...

No importa que la trama sea demencial, eso era de esperar. Pero lo que me molesta es la falta de buenos chistes, personajes más interesantes y un mejor guión que al menos tenga un poco de pies y cabeza. En él, los cineastas han creado un mundo que no sigue absolutamente ninguna regla, es horriblemente incoherente y dadaísta, se siente perezoso y alejado, y no se preocupa por explicar nada.

If you are in your late 20’s or early 30’s and if you had an Amiga, Commodore or ZX Spectrum computer when you were a kid, you will easily identify with the movie Pixels. You see, it’s based on computer games that were designed for these computer systems and that we loved so much when we were kids. The authors turned a simple yet imaginative mini film from 2012 into a two-hour whirlwind of colors, fun and joy from the world they created for the big screen. I can’t help it with the review. I was thinking about five stars for a while actually, but eventually I settled for a solid four-star review. Adam Sandler and his crew (Peter Dinklage, Josh Gad – him most of all, Kevin James) put in a great show packed with catchphrases, which sometimes get lost in translation in the dubbed version, but which will keep you entertained most of the time. And the digital effects are great. Finally, they are used to do the thing they are intended to do. Simply entertain the viewers.

I underestimated the pixels unnecessarily. The film is incredibly entertaining, has decent gags, solid pacing, nice effects and a decent cast. I liked the exploration of the tactics, logic and system of the various games, and the idea isn't bad or head grabbing. Nostalgic fun, where even Sean Bean doesn't die! 75%

This wasn’t as awful as it looked in the trailer. Although Sandler doesn’t try at all and the second half is a pretty shoddy digifest, some moments work well. The president’s best friend plot line is really fine, as is Ms. Lt. Colonel. Put your feet up. But there’s far too little of Peter Dinklage.

After a long time, an accessible Sandler movie that doesn't use foul humour, is imaginative and made of rather tasty post-cultural dough. The actors are great in their often self-parodic roles (especially Kevin James) and the story is extremely relaxed, without unnecessary awkwardness and with a minimum of superfluous side-plots. It is just a pity that the potential of the premise remains extremely untapped and that the climactic, visually very convincing scenes of the games’ attacks lack, for my taste, more creativity (as one would expect from Chris Columbus) or a more abundant rush of referential or purely situational humour (as one would expect from Sandler). In any case, 3*, and I wouldn’t mind having another round of Pixels. 60%

An unpretentious respite from the creator of the first two Harry Potter volumes, which will, regardless of how old you are, make you reminisce the times of classic video games like “Pac Man”, “Tetris” and “Donkey Kong”. I'll probably never start liking Adam Sandler, but that's okay, this Peter Dinklage in particular pulled it up acting-wise. The idea itself and its execution were not bad at all, so I was mostly satisfied, as I went to the cinema to see a generic film, which I got. In short, a film that will evoke nostalgia in more than one viewer, and which is perfect for unwinding.

I like Adam Sandler and I'm not ashamed of it. I look forward to each of his films and wonder what he will come up with next. Just the idea of old video games is cool, though maybe a little more could have been done with it. But what got me the most was the idea of Kevin James as the American president. I had fun, I laughed, and I got what I thought I was going to get.
