FPS: First Person Shooter

What a great job done!

A very interesting movie that feels just like playing an old school FPS game. It mixes old school gaming elements, such as pixelated art and other funny stuff.

If you are an old school gamer, you should remember games such as Blood, Doom, Catacomb 3D...and many many more FPS that marked an era.

The story is good, it gets a hold of you.

The camera work is excellent. It does the job great. The filming location is amazing and was setup disturbingly fine. Great work there guys!

I'd recommend this only for hardcore gamers and zombie fans. This movie is definitely not for everyone. You need to have a good background of gaming history and gaming love in order to enjoy it.

A very well done experiment!!

If you watch this as an experiment, as a first time feature, as something the filmmaker tries to learn from, then you will be able to "enjoy" it. Just watching someone else play a game can be fun I reckon (SharePlay and a lot of YouTube channels would suggest so), but it can get boring and annoying too.

There's a lot of gaming references and it is old school with things (if you pick something up, there is no animation of your character picking it up, but it disappears for a second to reappear in your hand/s), which is sort of funny and stays so during the course of the movie. The effects aren't amazing and the acting is on low level too (that voice can be disturbing in a bad way). A short movie would have been sufficient, but I guess someone had to one of these ...

With a massive viral outbreak striking the world, a man enters a hospital looking for his pregnant wife only to find it overrun by the deformed zombies of a deranged mad scientist looking to institute a new world order through the virus implanted in the creatures and forces him to battle the creatures to save her.

This was an incredibly enjoyable effort. The film's at it's best when it delves into the non-stop action and over-the-top gore which is nearly constant throughout here. With the premise set up like a video-game where the constant need to move forward and meeting up with new foes creates a breakneck pace to the film, and that leads into numerous encounters with the zombies and other deformed creatures at play inside the hospital. The sweeping camera movements to denote the weaponry being utilized in each of the confrontations here add to the unease experienced walking down the hallways waiting for the various encounters to strike generates far more suspense as well as action. Due to this setup, the film's continuous encounters provide all sorts of fine gore and bloodshed. Whacking them over the heads with chain-mail fists, hammers or close-range gunshots leaving massive entry wounds offers up plenty of fine bloodshed here, much like the decayed and deformed look of the zombies. They look quite disgusting with the wrinkled skin, monstrous fangs and ferocious movements which manage to create a nice imposing group of villains to get through, and when added to the other kills here involving ripping out intestines to strangle people, sliced at with cleavers or brutalized with crowbars manages to bring out some fine make-up and gore-gags. As well, the film scores quite a lot with it's absurdly cheesy and fun setup. The video-game footage at the beginning detailing the origins of the infection and how to spot the symptoms offers a goofy introduction to things, and the start-up to the mission playing out like a video-game is quite hilarious as the notion of treating each level of the hospital like a video-game creates plenty of silly moments within the straightforward storyline. Added to this cheese are the hilarious one-liners and move-quotes used to explain the fun he's having during the various encounters that provide some chuckles here and there, this one features a lot of rather enjoyable and likable elements. There are a few minor flaws featured here. The main problem is the utterly unbelievable manner of this one using the letters and notes left behind to denote storyline beats and points that flesh out what's going on. This is a necessary factor of saying what's going on but these are so clumsily inserted into the film as he finds them at just the right moments to give him the next clues to complete a mission and just feel so awkward and unnatural as if anyone would leave such evidence laying around the hospital for anyone to find. Some of the game-play simulations look incredibly shoddy, which is to be expected for this type of film but there's no excuse for the switchover to actual video-game style for the massive swarm of zombies being gunned down which is a huge cheat. These are what hold this one down the most.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Extreme Graphic Violence.

FPS is a movie inspired by fast paced 90s shooters but with the slow pacing of horror games. Watch Hardcore Henry if you want to see this concept done right.

This movie can actually be summarized with a single word: no!

Actually I will be gracious here and give it three words: no, just no!

Well, let's be fair and honest, "FPS: First Person Shooter" didn't really have the odds in its favor, now did it? I mean, a movie made like a First Person Shooter styled game, just how thrilling and entertaining can that be? Well, it might have had a chance if it wasn't so ridiculously laughable.

First of all, you have to suffer through the worst graphics ever in that abysmal intro. Why did they even bother with that? Was it meant as a joke? It was just painful to watch, especially since even the dialogue was equally bad.

Then the movie finally started, and it just slumped to an even lower place. I actually turned it off after this point. I just managed to watch like a couple of minutes of the actual live action movie, after having suffered through that grievous animated intro.

Everything about this movie was just abysmal. The acting, the cinematography, the plot, the concept. Probably even the special effects, but to be honest I don't know, because I gave up on the movie before it got to a point where they used special effects.

"FPS: First Person Shooter" will be quickly forgotten, like a dirty, shameful secret. And I have no intentions of returning to watch the rest of it, because it just lacked anything that even remotely resembled entertainment or appeal.

A bottom-scraping one out of ten stars for "FPS: First Person Shooter". Do yourself a favor and avoid this one.
