Tagged as "In 1998, five friends stole their way into history." Their choice of going down in history is by a road trip in which they travel West and beginning a quest to see the nerdiest, and therefor most desirable movie in the geek world, movie coming to the big screen. That film is the latest in the Star Wars franchise, Episode I. After one of the group takes sick it is nothing short of a moral imperative that the friends break into George Lucas' Skywalker Ranchi to watch the seminal sci-fi picture together before the film's actual release to the public.
By now we have become inundated with Seth Rogen humor in a series of first run films. The movie feels a lot like Rogen humor only less refined. Which is what it is. Actually Rogen is in the film and plays Admiral Seasholtz and perhaps another character or two. Fanboys has had a wild ride as an indie film with the director traveling to multiplexes and comic cons to stir a fan base. The film has gone through some re-shoots and re-edits and comes out in limited release on February 6.
Anyone who the film is really marketed to may have already seen this movie either at one of the many film festivals around the country or among the masses that attended Comic Con this year. There are some very funny and inspired moments in the film such as an outrageous brawl with some hard-core Trekkies, but overall the film is a tad flat and slow at times. I laughed and for that I think the film is worth seeing somewhere. 6/10*
* The poster of hands holding a blue light saber towards space is great and one I will add to my collection. The inspiration for the poster concept, or should I say copying, is of the 1983 teaser poster for Return of the Jedi. The Jedi poster was actually an artist rendering of George Lucas's hands with the light saber in the same manner. This poster will be linked to the Jedi by geeks forever. Purpose served.
