The endless list of Indiegogo backers appearing towards the end of Lazer Team‘s credits make clear that the movie will not be wanting for fans, since it was they who mostly helped fund this science fiction comedy. So the question is if this film will strike a chord with audience members unfamiliar with Austin-based production company Rooster Teeth, the creative minds behind the film? In their first-feature length project, the comedic troupe, best-known for their video-game-based web series Red Vs. Blue, have created a product composed of the elements that make them a bonafide YouTube sensation: effective, low-budget visual effects, bro-ish jokes, and a self-aware love of geekdom that’s completely free of cynicism.
Lazer Team relies on the iconic “Wow! Signal” to tell the story of a group of underdogs who become the planet’s only hope for salvation. The premise establishes that the signal discovered in 1977 was...

Lazer Team
Written by Burnie Burns, Chris Demarais, Joshua Flanagan & Matt Hullum
Directed by Matt Hullum
USA, 2015
We’re not a team, we’re a timebomb.
-Bruce Banner in The Avengers
Lazer Team is the story of a dimwitted group of ne’er-do-wells that stumble into the position of defenders of humanity — imagine the burnouts from Pineapple Express or the nerds from Superbad inheriting superpowers and you’re on the right track. The brainchild of the Rooster Teeth crew, Lazer Team features all the raunchy humor and cinematic hi-jinks that has endeared the brand to its wildly devoted fans over the past decade.
In Lazer Team, the American military intercepts an extra-terrestrial signal that warns them of an impending alien threat. So that humanity may stand a fighting chance, a benign alien race sends a ship carrying a suit of power to earth which provides the strength needed to defeat the invaders.

I’m going to dub Rooster Teeth’s Lazer Team the Anti-Pixels. Their plots are so eerily similar, but I guess that can be said about most of these “unlikely hero” arcs in science fiction. A group of friends stumble upon alien weaponry, training montages ensue, there’s an inner struggle that keeps the team at odds, an alien challenger comes to Earth for a universal pink-slip competition, and the team finally comes together in a moment of emotional triumph. The only difference? Lazer Team doesn’t totally suck like Pixels. In fact, it’s rather funny – but what else would you expect from Rooster Teeth? You’ve been watching these guys make a mockery of Halo for years, now watch them take aim at the sci-fi genre like only their brash immaturity could imagine.
So who is the Lazer Team? Just your run-of-the-mill chuckleheads who have no business saving the world.
