This is just an incredibly lazy film. No-one involved with it seems to care about it, so why should I?
The script is based on a short film ( although the animated series Futurama came up with this idea many years earlier) but the attempt to turn the short into a feature failed as soon as Adam Sandler was involved.
Sandler appears to make zero effort in this flick. He looks bored, almost sedated. When scenes require complex visual effects Sandler merely goes through the motions, with a " they'll fix this in post" expression on his face. It just feels like he wants to get back to his trailer and go back to sleep.
kevin James is in this, playing the US President! If that piece of casting alone doesn't tell you what a lazy, lowest common denominator money grab this is, then I don't know what will.
The use of 80s video games is a cynical attempt to cash in on nostalgia. Sad to see Peter Dinklage and Sean Bean in this.
