Sabre Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I'm not talking about the resident evil film or anything like that, I mean films that have games as a premise, such as Wargames and Tron.I bring this up because today I came across a site about a film called Ben X, a film about 2 things very close to me, autism and games. From what I can tell the film is about an autistic man thinking about suicide due to bullying but instead decides to become a gamer, at which point something happens and the games start to intersect reality or something. I dunno, not seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO one of the greatest video games in history/Indeed. the Nostalgia critic reviewed that movie and said this about SMB3. "Don't look directly at it, its so sacred it'll burn your eyes out!"

Showtime 1-1 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 The best video game movies are the Pokemon movies. Some are better then others, but they're all pretty epic.And how come I've never heard of that Ben X movie? it sounds interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shaper Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 And how come I've never heard of that Ben X movie? it sounds interesting. Because it's technically not a video game movie it's a tv show movie. Most Video game movies (or at least Nintendo game movies) don't turn out well.

Sabre Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 Hur. I see what you did there.Ben X is not ben 10: roman edition. It's the romanised contraction of a pun according to wikipedia.The film's title is a reference to the leet version of the Dutch phrase "(ik) ben niks", meaning "(I) am nothing".The best video game movies are the Pokemon movies. Some are better then others, but they're all pretty epic.And how come I've never heard of that Ben X movie? it sounds interesting.Because, whereas pokemon, alone in the dark, ect are films BASED OFF games. Ben X is ABOUT games. Wikipedia has an incomplete list of them (there is a lesser known film about a FPS npc in a groundhog day like situation I have never been able to find the name of) and generally speaking they tend to fair better. The best I've seen has to be Wargames. If you've not seen it, you should if you get the chance, it's great. Here's a video review of it.http://www.giantbomb.com/wonderful-universe-of-tang-wargames/17-2953/On a related note, I've not seen the last starfighter, but keep meaning to. They also review that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 SILENT HILLThe story was roughly based on SH1, but all the creatures were from SH2. Kind of odd but I still like it. Also, a group of professional cosplayers are making a Zelda movie. Google "The Zelda Project", it looks pretty promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing a Zelda movie on YouTube, but it was a trailer and it was never finished. Also, Peter Jackson's King Kong and X-Men Origins Wolverine. In all honesty, the games were better than the movie. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I remember seeing a Zelda movie on YouTube, but it was a trailer and it was never finished. That video was an April Fool's prank, the Zelda Project is fairly new. They've not made any trailers but they've taken portraits of Link and of Saria.
