Movie Reviews of Gamerz (Ws Col Sub Dol)
Movie Review: "Forget The Universe, Let It Go, Embrace The Multiverse" ~ When Fantasy And Reality Collide
Summary: 5 Stars
Synopsis: Ralph (Ross Finbow) is your classic, highly intelligent but socially awkward nerd just finishing his last day of work as a box boy at the local supermarket. His life hasn't been as happy as it could be, his parents are dead, he lives with his Grandmother and he's frequently harassed on the streets of Glasgow by a group of locals who have nothing better to do. It's only when alone in his bedroom that he finds solitude and escape from this mundane existence, for it is there that he becomes "Game Master" of his own realm.
Ralph's world is about to broaden for he has been granted a scholarship to the University of Scotland. Immediately upon arrival he expands his gaming skills with a new group of misfit fantasy addicts; Davy (Johnny Austin), Hank (Ross Sutherland) and the attractive, elfish Marlyn (Danielle Stewart). When Lennie (James Young), an old childhood acquaintance and adversary, is unexpectedly added to the groups on-going game the fun and fantasy take on more serious concerns.
`Gamerz' released in '06 is a marvelous and unexpectedly enchanting film. Who would have thought that a small budget Scottish production featuring a cast of young unknowns could deliver such a satisfying cinematic experience. Written and directed by Robbie Fraser (whoever that is), the film reaches far beyond the bounds of Scotland and touches upon universal themes and feelings that we can all relate to. I extend my congratulations to Mr. Fraser for a job well done. The production values are inventive (especially the fantasy, role-playing sequences) the cast believable and likeable and the Indie soundtrack is delightfully quirky. The only problem with this movie is the thick Scottish accent of some of the actors (James Young in particular) that make it difficult to understand. That may be a slight drawback, but it's also an integral part of the unique enduring ambience of the film.
This is a film that will definitely become a cult classic for those who have ever enjoyed fantasy role playing games. But make no mistake, this movie is also a captivating "coming of age" film that should attract a larger audience of "non-nerds" as well. Before the movies over you'll be so caught up in the fantasy you'll be asking the same question as gamer Davy, "What is the difference between a Gnome and a Troll?"
My Highest Recommendation!
