À l'époque de leur jeunesse, dans les années 80, Sam Brenner, Will Cooper, Ludlow Lamonsoff et Eddie « Fire Blaster » Plant ont sauvé le monde des milliers de fois... en jouant à des jeux d'arcade à 25 cents la partie. Mais aujourd'hui, ils vont devoir le faire pour de vrai... Lorsque des aliens découvrent des vidéos d'anciens jeux et les prennent pour une déclaration de guerre, ils lancent l'assaut contre la Terre. Ces mêmes jeux d'arcade leur servent de modèles pour leurs attaques. Cooper, qui est désormais Président des États-Unis, fait alors appel à ses vieux potes pour empêcher la destruction de la planète par PAC-MAN, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Centipede et les Space Invaders... Les gamers pourront compter sur l'aide du lieutenant-colonel Violet Van Patten, une spécialiste qui va leur fournir des armes uniques... (Sony Pictures Releasing France)

français Ça ne fait rien que l'intrigue soit absurde, c'était prévu. Mais ce qui dérange, c'est l'absence de bonnes blagues, de personnages intéressants et d'un meilleur scénario qui aurait au moins un peu de sens. Les auteurs du film ont créé un monde qui ne se soumet absolument à aucune règle, il est terriblement incohérent et dadaïste, il donne l'impression d'être paresseux et bâclé et se moque de toute explication.

anglais If you are in your late 20’s or early 30’s and if you had an Amiga, Commodore or ZX Spectrum computer when you were a kid, you will easily identify with the movie Pixels. You see, it’s based on computer games that were designed for these computer systems and that we loved so much when we were kids. The authors turned a simple yet imaginative mini film from 2012 into a two-hour whirlwind of colors, fun and joy from the world they created for the big screen. I can’t help it with the review. I was thinking about five stars for a while actually, but eventually I settled for a solid four-star review. Adam Sandler and his crew (Peter Dinklage, Josh Gad – him most of all, Kevin James) put in a great show packed with catchphrases, which sometimes get lost in translation in the dubbed version, but which will keep you entertained most of the time. And the digital effects are great. Finally, they are used to do the thing they are intended to do. Simply entertain the viewers. ()

anglais An unpretentious respite from the creator of the first two Harry Potter volumes, which will, regardless of how old you are, make you reminisce the times of classic video games like “Pac Man”, “Tetris” and “Donkey Kong”. I'll probably never start liking Adam Sandler, but that's okay, this Peter Dinklage in particular pulled it up acting-wise. The idea itself and its execution were not bad at all, so I was mostly satisfied, as I went to the cinema to see a generic film, which I got. In short, a film that will evoke nostalgia in more than one viewer, and which is perfect for unwinding. ()

anglais After a long time, an accessible Sandler movie that doesn't use foul humour, is imaginative and made of rather tasty post-cultural dough. The actors are great in their often self-parodic roles (especially Kevin James) and the story is extremely relaxed, without unnecessary awkwardness and with a minimum of superfluous side-plots. It is just a pity that the potential of the premise remains extremely untapped and that the climactic, visually very convincing scenes of the games’ attacks lack, for my taste, more creativity (as one would expect from Chris Columbus) or a more abundant rush of referential or purely situational humour (as one would expect from Sandler). In any case, 3*, and I wouldn’t mind having another round of Pixels. 60% ()

anglais Relaxing silliness with a surprisingly tolerable Adam Sandler, skillful direction by Chris Columbus (you can really tell that the film was made by an experienced man with a sense of humor) and a script that could (should) have been at least a little more thoughtful, so I could forgive Pixels even more. I wondered, for example, how one character in the eighties used cheats to play a video game on a coin machine, or that four riders were first absolutely needed to hunt down the giant Pac-Man on the streets of New York, but when after a while - even before the start of the "game" - the group lost one member, it did not matter. Well, what can you do? At least it was quite fun - if only that's how the new Ghostbusters had turned out... ()
