Uno: The Movie

Throughout the years there have been plenty of video game movies that have been terrible and some have been alright, but none have truly been great, until now.

Uno:The Movie is a story about Uno for sure, but it also has heart, joy, sadness, and a mixture of other emotions that makes it a well balanced and well paced film. The characters are great and the stakes are truly there once the film hit the final act.

This movie also shows the power of friendship and the effect an event like this can have. People's lives change in an instant and no one can really guess where this goes, and no one can guess the ending. Also, make sure to stay though the credits, you won't be disappointed with what you see.

The cast does a great job. You really feel like they are friends with each other and they all know each other so well. It gets even better when you learn that two people played Ryan in this film and you can't even tell the difference. They both sound so alike that there is not a chance to tell them apart.

Move over Mortal Kombat, this is the great video game movie of all time and one of the best ever regardless of genre.

10/10

I can honestly say that when I saw that this film was 2 hours long - I was a bit wary. I watched a preview of the video on Twitter of Jeremy and Ryan's humorous reverse debacle, and figured that I'd watch the first 10 or so minutes and then keep it on in the background while I finished up some work. But 5 minutes in I was already hooked. Rules that I'd never even hear of made it a thrilling nail-biter throughout the whole thing. The humour is made all the better by the fact that none of the players knew what was coming. Very immersive in that way. 10/10, would highly recommend for any fellow fan or someone just looking to throw away a couple of hours watching complete nonsense unfold by watching 4 grown men play a game made for children.

Play on, Achievement Hunters.

Despite the name of the movie being called Uno, ill happily keep drawing to have this rated a 10

You're first thoughts upon seeing the run time might be 'uno... for 3 hours... how could they make this a movie?' but i assure you, unlike most other video game movie adaptations this one is true to the source material in it's fullest. All the cards are well represented even with a few new character traits added to '0' and '7' which weren't shown in the short film that this was based off.

You've really got your hands full with this one

With that I call UNO

I arrived home from work, exhausted from a long day, and noticed a video in my YouTube subscription box titled "Uno: The Movie". I scoffed at the thumbnail, Hollywood has officially run out of ideas! With a cynical smirk on my face, I decided to click on the video, thinking I was to see the death of cinema occur right before my eyes.

From the moment the video started to the moment it ended, I found myself captivated by the story, characters, and cinematography. Coworkers trapped in a room together until they finish a 500-point round of the classic card game "Uno", but with some sadistic rules added. As the hours wore on, I could feel the character's desperation to finish the game- almost as if they were actually playing a three-hour game of Uno. The camera angles used to show us each player's hand makes the viewer feel as if they were actually playing the game themselves.

With a stunning cast, crew, and soundtrack, I predict a complete sweep at next year's Oscars for this breathtaking film. "Uno: The Movie" did not kill cinema, it brought it back to life.

THE MOVIE ITSELF This movie is amazing. The character development was like nothing I have ever seen before. Their acting was so good it looked like they were really held there by a spirit, and you could hear the stress in their voices. Although it is a very long movie, there is little off time. The plot twist at the end was made by a genius, and I believe the director did an amazing job with the special affects. SPECIAL AFFECTS This has some of the best special affects in recent movies, it looks like cards float and the spirit really does appear as a blue mass in front of one of them. I have even heard the cards themselves weren't real, which is insane if it's true. I would suggest this movie to anyone who isn't afraid of oceans or bad decks.
