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.

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.

Production value was not the problem, it was more like the story and what they try to attend with this movie. It´s about a girl who founds an all womens esports team with a few non-professional gamers. At this point you can guess the whole plot already. At the beginning the´re really bad and then they rise and get better and all that stuff...Predictable. Screenwriting wasn´t any better, some dialogues are just cringe, some actions just not fitting. Feels like a B-movie, but not a good one. But I can see it that way, that the filmmakers were given the possibility to make movie, to get experience. Nobody can expect to be pro just in a minute. That´s why I am suprised with the production value, it´s not over the top, but still high for an amateur like movie.

Acting was ok, i guess they intended to overact a little.

The main reason, why this movie is not working out is that they don´t really have choosen a target group. I mean it is about gaming, you can make movie for gamers or you can try to get non-gamers, too. I guess they tried to get the whole audience, but it´s not working out. It´s difficult to get an whole audience, Free Guy would be a good example were it worked out, but this is an another level of filmmaking. If they just focused on gamers, they could´ve focused on a more advanced plot, built tension by using all what competitive gaming contains and not just building a rivaly between teams.

But in the end they missed the gamer audience as well as the non-gamers.

Still 3/10, because I like that they tried and they had the possibility to make this movie. If they learned from it and come up with more experience it was worth it.

3/10 - I will admit there were a few laughs courtesy of Paris Berelc and Hari Nef in between the constant cringe and near constant attempts to ripoff Pitch Perfect, but my biggest question is how did they manage to get so many big names for this and why these actors haven't fired their agents already.

Just watched this and it was just awful. A lot of amateur actors, and a clinchen story. Save yourself the time and watch something else. This was just another woke-crap movie.
