1UP V.F.

So 10 minutes in they are talking about Lara Croft and how the industry sexualized her to sell games... then they have a girl as the lead with very large tracks of land wearing a tank top most of the time... If you're trying to rise above it or help others to do so, then why do you dive right down to the bottom of it, without ever coming close to getting to the bottom of anything... Though the big girl telling the dude bro .... you just don't see many pegging jokes.... Let's just say I wouldn't make a football movie without knowing even a little bit about the game of soccer. They made a really bad video game movie, and a worse movie about equality.

Going into this film I did not expect much. The reason I has so little-expectations for the film was primarily due to the 1.9 IMDb score which, I must admit, I know is probably (at least slightly) review-bombed. Nonetheless, I still gave it a shot. Initially there was nothing particularly terrible. Of course the cinematography and production design were... poor... but It was at least mildly interesting. Then 1UP revealed what it truly was! CRAP! The character dynamics between the two leads; Sloane and Lee were un-interesting and trivial at best. The acting from both actress' is also shockingly under-developed and thought out. However, the script is so poor that I bet no A-list actor could've given a real shot at it, so perhaps the actress' do have talents that just aren't represented here. The supporting cast and there characters are akin to a troupe of stereotypes you may have found in a 90s DTV Bottom-of-the-dollar-bin teen attempted-comedy. There are extended periods where the groups are playing each-other and these parts are excruciatingly boring. I can't continue this review without pointing out two of the most annoying characters I have had the insincere opportunity of watching. Lilly played by Madison Baines and Diane played by D. J. Mausner. Both characters are equally annoying in their own rights but the worst of the two is by-far Lilly. Lilly is the 'weird,quirky' friend in the main group and her whole character is based around this. More one-dimensional than the perfect line. And Diane is the gross chick in the group. But I hope to never see that damn lilly actress 'Madison Baines' in anyhting ever again!!! Terrible film. May provide inspiration to like two people. That's it. To the other 100,000. Pure Pain. PURE TORTURE!

I've never rated a movie less than 5/10... I can usually find some light to bring it up a tad...

This? I'd give it a zero if I could.

The script is horrible. The scenes make no sense. The relationships are completely unbelievable. Ruby Rose's acting is poor.

The gaming events should be intense, but they just put you to sleep.

It was utter cringe.

An overall decent quality production brought down to the bottom by an awful lazy writing full of commonplace scenarios and over-the-top stereotypical characters.

An entirely predictable story from start to finish - a team of misfits facing adversity - it could have been a fun easy watch if not for its harmful depiction of unidimensional over-the-top diversity stereotypes that go from gross to worse, exaggerated acting, as well as its extremely puerile humor based on genital and bodily function jokes; all of which this movie pretends to sell as actual positive representation.

Ironically, Ruby Rose is far from being the one to blame and was actually, along with Taylor Zakhar Perez, one of the actors whose work was rather entertaining within the severe writing limitations of the script.

All in all a total waste of time and a disservice to each and every community in their checklist.

I saw it on prime video, and felt it had an adequate opening, but dropped it right after they finished the practice match when I felt physical pain at the logic they had for the team. Before they finished the match, I even sympathized with the main character, since I was a support main back in my league days, but the stereotyping was misplaced, teams can't really do the misogynistic roles, and no one who knows any better disregards a support player. Other problems, role doesn't equal team position or skill. If you want to watch something with females in a good role, watch "King's Avatar" and save yourself the pain.
