Who else, aside from me, loves video games? We have lived with so many video games and right at this moment I’m sure that everyone likes-or loves-playing video games especially those role-playing and adventure games such as Fortnite, Call of Duty, Ghost of Tsushima, Cyberpunk, GTA, Sims and many to mention. Well we all know bunch of streamers, I know for myself that I was one of them few months back and I can’t even hide the fact that I sincerely enjoy playing.

So why am I telling you all those stuff? Well, coz there’s a movie that resembles to Wreck It Ralph but in this case instead of going thru the internet, the main characters in the game are the ones being entirely capable of deciding what to do for an adventure. Like the Non-player characters or NPCs as what they usually call them or the ones just seems to be in the background as a props for the whole game to become more realistic. Yes, you heard it, it’s like they had their life of their own beside the codes that they were program to. I’m talking about the new movie that was released beginning of August. I know this moview is a little late (because of personal reasons which I will promise to tell you by the end of the numbers of movies that I skipped on writing for the month of August and September. Well, I’m catching coz I needed to be on time for October movies, coz yes, kind of hectic on the October because there will be lots of releases.

Anyway, back in the movie entitled, Free Guys, played by Ryan Reynolds, he is an NPC that casually do the routine of being a non-playing character in a video game so called Free City, and met a girl of his life while walking down the street, yeah, pretty classic huh. so inevitably the AI inside him had gone far beyond his reach that he was able to fight his character’s suppose to be routine and play like the normal players (they call the the guys with the glasses). When he discovered

that wearing the glasses will unveil so many things about his world, he deicide to do as his will. Yes, you heard that. He played as a player and the real world had gone mad for his character because they all thought it was just a skin(that’s what they call for the whole outfit thing in video games). He was able to meet his dream girl however, meeting her means he will unveil more secrets about his real world, well, if you haven’t watch it, then it is the time you need to, coz I will spilling some beans.

Imagine a life that is controlled by people and you think you’re real but you’re not, it’s like Barbie discovering she’s plastic but feel not. Oh well, I get to the verdict this early because I know that it is nicer for me to tell the best ones which I found lots of greatness in this movie, a little tied up I can say but all in all, I like this movie, especially the elements that they used. I mean, the whole plot itself is extraordinaire plus who would’ve thought that maybe, yes, these characters we are playing are alive somehow it’s like Toy Story in a virtual game.

I also like how the movie is just light as it is supposed to be; no die hard dramas and scenes, just a playful movie that is best watched by the whole family. And Reynolds is just best when it comes to action-comedy, I cannot find any actor who can pull this off aside from him. And of course, the plot is not only about the characters in the game but also they focus on programmers and geniuses who made the game too coz yes, this is a two way, there’s the player and there’s the character. And if you think this is only a video-game like movie, well, there’s also love story here, well, you will see that while watching.

Well, we also should talk about the cameos, yes? Yeah there’s so many of them, I love it! Channing Tatum as usual he is the hotel player with a shades and also the popular gamers, let me name them, Ninja, Pokimane, Lazarbeam, DanTDM and Jacksepticeye, those are just legit gamers who have millions of followers and also some of the celebrities who made a voice cameos like Hugh Jackman, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and John Krasinski. Also in the list is Tina Fey and Alex Trebek but I should tell you that the much awaited scene was actually Chris Evans, but I’m not gonna tell you why isntead you should watch it coz if you play video games, you will absolutely recognize some of the skins and weapons used there coz they’re really familiar.

All in all, I’m gonna give this movie a 90% wonderroanne rating, mostly because of the cameos. ha!
