In a world where video game characters are alive, a lonely bad guy tries to earn appreciation but ends up threatens ruin.

A fun movie, most appropriate for the nostalgia fans of various old arcade games. It goes very very old, like Pixels – (2015 movie), which puts it in a particularly odd space. I think this one ends up being childish and unique enough that its various reference aren’t in the way of an actual proper movie.
