[quote]In a near-future [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York"]New York[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind-control"]mind-control[/URL] technology has taken the world by storm. Ken Castle ([URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_C._Hall"]Michael C. Hall[/URL]) has revolutionized the gaming industry with his invention of self-replicating [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanite"]nanites[/URL]. The nanites colonize in the brain, gradually replacing the existing brain cells and allowing full control of all motor functions by a third party. The first major application of this technology allows [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamer"]gamers[/URL] to control a real person in a pseudo community (much like current simulated worlds such as [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Life"]Second Life[/URL][/I] but with far more [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telepresence"]telepresence[/URL]). Those who work as characters in [I]Society[/I] are paid for their participation, unlike Castle's latest creation, [I]Slayers[/I], a multiplayer, [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-person_shooter_game"]third-person shooter game[/URL]. [I]Slayers[/I] allows gamers to control death row prisoners in mass-scale death matches. Any inmate who lives through 30 matches wins a full pardon. Due to [I]Society[/I] and [I]Slayers[/I] popularity, Ken Castle has become the richest man in the world. Simon, a 17-year old gamer ([URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan_Lerman"]Logan Lerman[/URL]) has control over Kable ([URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerard_Butler"]Gerard Butler[/URL]), the most recognizable face in [I]Slayers[/I] due to him surviving 27 matches, far more than any other participant. While Castle is interviewed on a talk show, an activist organization called Humanz hijacks the broadcast and claims that Castle will eventually use the nanite technology to control people against their will. They form a plot to free Kable and reveal the true capacity of the nanite technology by offering Simon the ability to speak to Kable in game via a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mod_%28computer_gaming%29"]mod[/URL]. After a stranger gives Kable a warning in his prison cell that the game's mastermind plans to kill him, Kable asks Simon to relinquish control over him in the 30th match. He uses this opportunity to escape and successfully drives out of the deathmatch arena while news outlets report that he has been killed in order to cover up his escape. Kable is taken to the Humanz leader ([URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludacris"]Ludacris[/URL]) who explains that the mind control technology used on Kable and the other [I]Slayers[/I] can potentially be used without discretion on anyone, leading to the extinction of independent thought. He also gives Kable directions to where he can break his wife out of [I]Society[/I], where she has been working as an avatar since his incarceration. Kable arrives and after a violent confrontation with security he manages to escape with his wife. He returns to the Humanz base where the rebels attempt to deactivate the nanite cells from his wife's mind. Kable reveals to the Humanz leader that he was once a soldier and part of a program designed to replace the cells in the brain with new longer lasting ones, prolonging good mental health and life. His friend was the first to receive the cell transplant. Castle, the creator of this technology, decided to discover the true ability of the nanites and forced Kable to kill his friend, leading to his conviction for first-degree murder and subsequent death row sentence. The Humanz inform Kable that his daughter was placed in foster care with Castle. Kable infiltrates Castle's mansion and is confronted by Castle, who leads him to a room with a large basketball court. Castle reveals that his brain is 98% artificial nanites and that his are of the controlling variety while everyone else, including Kable and his wife, has the controllable type. Castle then demonstrates this by beating Kable savagely while restricting him from fighting. Kable's wife and daughter are brought out after it is revealed that most of the Humanz members have been found and killed. Castle then forces Kable to crawl to his family and attempts to force him to kill his own daughter. After a brief struggle of wills Kable manages to stop himself. The last two members of the Humanz broadcast their confrontation and then bring Simon in control of Kable with the control hardware he used to play [I]Slayers[/I] with. He interferes with Castle's control and allows Kable to move towards him. Kable then persuades Castle to think about stabbing himself which allows Kable to stab him. After Castle dies, Kable requests for Castle's technicians, who have been watching, to release him and his family from their control. They release them and depart, while walking uncaringly past Castle's dead body. Sometime later, Kable is driving with his daughter and wife down a scenic country road.[/quote] Also, Dexter stars in this [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fa/Gamermovie.jpg[/img]
Very old. It was also pretty shitty. [editline]EDIT[/editline] Is Dan still boobies?
I remember hearing about that movie, is it good? [editline]03:08PM[/editline] [QUOTE=cccritical;21964910]Very old. It was also pretty shitty. [editline]EDIT[/editline] Is Dan still boobies?[/QUOTE] Not sure, but Alec is still up the ass.
[QUOTE=Dronaroid;21964952]I remember hearing about that movie, is it good?[/QUOTE] No it's pretty bad It's a good idea and some parts are okay but overall it's bad
Horrible movie. It had some promise at the beginning but it progressively got worse and worse and the ending was just pathetic.
It starts out actiony and FPSey and then turns into boobies and 80s costumes
Possibly the worst movie I have ever seen.
Dan is boobies, trust me.
[QUOTE=eXistys;21965080]Dan is boobies, trust me.[/QUOTE] That joke was old ages ago stop using it
[QUOTE=eXistys;21965080]Dan is boobies, trust me.[/QUOTE] That meme got old when it started.
[QUOTE=o DefcoN o;21965056]Possibly the worst movie I have ever seen.[/QUOTE] It's seriously worse than a Michael Moore marathon, it even has cameos of Michael More playing a game and eating while naked
I thought it was pretty good, as a mindless action movie.
Watch crank... Thats a better movie in a similar style
It was mediocre, worth watching, but not really worth watching if you don't like shit films.

dans boobs?
So did your girl fail that pregnancy test?
Awful film, I wasted my time watching this, I could write many bad things about it but I don't want to spoil it.
I didn't even finish it cause it sucked so bad.
I saw it, it was okay, I couldn't follow any of it though. Was pretty good eye candy and an excuse to eat the godly popcorn at the AMC.
Dont listen to these people. if you liked crank you will like this. If you didnt, dont even waste your time.
It was okay. All the action stuff was great. The was billions of boobs and bad acting.
Shitty movie, 1/10
Didn't like it. When I saw the picture I choked.
Total garbage, the only redeeming factor is Michael C Hall(especially the dance routine at the end).
Yea it's pretty bad, but the great part is Michael Hall, the dance was fucking amazing. But that's really it
Was this better then Legion?
Any movie with the word "gamer" as its title is gonna suck.
I was watching a bit of it today, and I really can't say I was enjoying it. It just seemed illogical.
This movie is god awful. This is 1 of 4 movies I couldn't get through (other three were disaster movie, battlefield earth, and gigli.)
