I saw the film tonight. Was apprehensive partly because I’d heard everyone saying it wasn’t as good as the book, and partly because the trailers shown before the film (often a reasonable stab at the target audience) were all absolutely shyte with multiple big gorillas and post apocalyptic nonsense ...... but was pleasantly surprised.
Ok it departs from the book a bit, but not too far. And yes, it was 30 minutes too long, with all that Hollywood last-second-explosion-to-stop-the-hero-pressing-the-button (repeated-three-times) but having said that, it was fun to watch. If you enjoyed Pixels, you’ll like this. 8/10
