Storyline

Sam Brenner, Will Cooper, Ludlow Lamonsoff, and Eddie "The Fire Blaster" Plant all played classic arcade video games as teenagers. But now they have to use their skills to try to save the world from aliens. The aliens watched video feeds that they thought was a declaration of war. So they send down the classic arcade games to destroy earth. They also get help from a military specialist. They have three lives and if all three get used then earth will be destroyed, and every time they lose a live the aliens take someone's life. Who will win, us or the aliens? It's an all-out battle to save our planet and everyone on it. Written by Alex Tanner

Goofs

When Ludlow is in his basement talking to Sam, he correctly mentions that a base was attacked by "Galaga", but points to a picture of the white protagonist ship from the original Galaga video game. The actual Galaga (called a Boss Galaga) is the main ship the aliens use, not the white Fighter Lud pointed to. That ship is called a Gyaraga or simply "Fighter". See more »

Quotes

Ludlow Lamonsoff: I believe that some alien life-force, has sent real life video games, to attack us.
[Scene cuts to Pac-Man attacking the firefighters truck]
Sam Brenner: [Thinks for 4 seconds] That makes sense.

if you ever-
10 November 2015 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Played any one of these games, if you ever set foot in an arcade, a bowling alley, a pizza parlor, or sadly as in my case, the 7-11 store a reasonable length bike ride away and stood with your girl-squad posse daintily downing red lipping slurpees whilst creating a crescent moon of admiration inches behind your jr high uber crush who is simply collecting balloons on the head of his unicycle riding clown like madman who has yet to read the Stephen King tale of terror so great as to evoke an epic attack of panic at the mere utterance of the words Penny or Wise or possibly dissuade him from his continuance to Kick - you will so totally get it! It will be friendly and nice, like your favorite 3/4 sleeved baseball shirt with the peeling iron on image of Shawn Cassidy and your name in felty bubble letters on back if you just let yourself take the DeLorean back to 1982, put up your quarter and go conquer the world of your choice on account of its awesome-and fun and it goes great with a Totinos frozen pepperoni pizza!!
