Title: The Gamers: Dorkness Rising (2008)Starring: Nathan Rice, Carol Roscoe, Brian Lewis
Directed By: Matt Vancil
So, I'm a dork, right? And I have been known to game from time to time. And I do really like inside jokes and dorky, nerdy humor. So basically this movie was made for me. I do think that non-gamers and non-dorks can find something to enjoy in the story and humor though, so I'm gonna rate this movie kind of high. It's very low budget and very independent. But the movie is all the better for it. This is, after all, a love letter to role playing.
The production issues and cast took a little getting used to in the beginning, but by the end I was fully immersed and definitely entertained. I loved how detailed game characters' world was. I loved all the inside jokes for nerds (allusions to everything from comic strips to Star Wars). There were some flaws, but overall nothing major and I found myself really really enjoying this movie.
Recommended if you know anything about RPG's and you want a good laugh or for fans of The Big Bang Theory, The Guild, or Legend of Neil (similar humor).
Score: 7/10
