GG (Good Game)

It's a heartwarming, wholesome movie. It was refreshing to see a Filipino movie not centered on promiscuous sex, adultery or a love team. Was surprised to see it got low ratings from critics. I really enjoyed the film. The lead was good and so were the supporting actors. Each of them were able to portray their roles well. I also liked the depth of the main characters and the message of the film. I also appreciate the storytelling. Unlike most of mainstream Filipino movies the film doesn't insult the audience's intelligence by vocalizing the narrative, and instead effectively used sequences and plot devices to tell the story.

It's more than just a 'gaming' or coming-of-age movie. It's a friendship/family movie, too. I hope viewers will give this a chance, not because I liked it, but because it veers away from traditional concepts and storytelling. It's progress for local Pinoy film creativity, I believe. It's very seldom that we get to see a Filipino movie without a love story angle, and I would say I pretty much enjoyed watching this with my wife and kids. The character development was good. Donny did a good job with his role. Though the gaming CGI is far from Hollywood quality, I appreciated the Filipino cultural aspects embedded in the 'Requiem' game. It was a risky but great concept, though there could have been more depth with some of the characters. Kudos to the production and staff for pulling this off."
