Adventures in Game Chasing

As a low budget independent film made by 1st time filmmakers its actually pretty good for what it is. The plot is basically a throwback to those cross country adventure films from the 80s, with the best comparison probably being Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

The plot is well paced and the script mostly works. The comedy is hit or miss, but mostly hits with laughs throughout. The cinematography is shot well. The special effects are better then most independent films. The weakest aspect is probably the acting, but in no way is it bad or hinders the movie.

All in all its a good movie. I think most fans of The Game Chasers will really enjoy it. In reality even those that have never heard of them should get some enjoyment from it. If you temper your expectations and know what you are getting into its well worth the ride.

I'm a longtime sub to their YouTube channel so im not just hating to hate, This movie was a terrible idea from start to finish, These guys put together the most hack clichéd script a movie could possibly have to go along with acting that was so wooden and forced it allows no emotional investment on the part of the viewer with how crummy the scenes are, I enjoy the idea of game hunting but not like this, Should of been about having to find the 10 rarest nes games and each one has a boss who owns it I dunno anything but what they delivered.

The flea market/stores/yard sales is where the movie should have been focused, It's hard to think of anything else left to say about this miserable slog of a film.

I will preface this review with the admission that I am a fan of their YouTube content.

That said I was very impressed with the movie. Well shot, impressive acting from a core of amateurs with pros sprinkled throughout, a gripping plot with that trademark Game Chasers comedy. Whilst doing a good job not to exclude any audience members unfamiliar with their online content. I was thouroughly entertained and it reminded me of how I felt after seeing Haggard by the CKY crew.

It excites me that a low budget indy movie can reach such a high quality of production. It makes film making feel accessible again just like it did in the early 2000s.

If you're coming into this movie blind to their YouTube stuff my advice would be to remember that this is a passion project and not a Corporate Hollywood blockbuster.

This movie was produced with less money than what Hollywood's big budget studios charge for less than a minute of footage. It's almost (if not) a superhuman effort, and Billy's wearing the main cape. A true heart-driven flick that keeps you entertained all throughout, and leaves you with something to think about. The real gift of this movie is that it concentrates well on its tone, and delivery is carried out with great timing; It could only be done by love and knowledge of the craft. Sure, theres minor areas of slight improvements due to it be a smaller production, but it shines bright within the cosmos of movies.

This movie was not good, pure and simple. I realize these guys are youtubers and not trained actors but the story was horrible. It reminded me of Clerks, if Clerks wasn't funny. I mean, they blatantly stole a joke from Dumb & Dumber in the first 30 min and it only got worse. Even for a low budget crowd funded movie this was just bad 👎
