For their first movie, it's actually very good. The cinematography is better than expected, and the writing is actually funny and clever even though it's a tired idea. Not the most original of all topics, but its still quite fun to watch. So the big downfall is the acting. The acting isn't anything to call home for, but it's much better than most B or C level films. They probably would've done better if they went outside of the company, but I understand the loyalty. If you're a fan of Roosterteeth it would probably be better since you'll see all of the people you already know. I was neither disappointed nor blown away. It was exactly what I was expecting. If you go into the movie just having fun and not criticizing it too deeply, it'll be a worthwhile movie. Overall, it was entertaining but not the best film I've ever seen.I would recommend it to someone who wants to watch a funny, lighthearted movie, but definitely not to a critic or someone expecting a masterpiece.
... View MoreA terrible film in nearly every possible way, poor "acting" (no delivery on any jokes), the cinematography was poor, storyline was padded out, casting was basically a way to put in every on screen personality of rooster teeth and location choice also poor.I like some if not most of the rooster teeth productions(podcast, on the spot, funhaus, achievement hunter) but this film was terrible and only the fanboys could and would give it a rating higher than 1.Also by putting it on a platform like YouTube red which can only be viewed in the US probably saved them a lot of embarrassment.I expected a lot better from this group of people.
... View MoreThis is a comedy sci-fi romp, where the 'wrong guys' inadvertently get saddled with technology required to save humanity.A lot of the humour is based around American stereotypes and the flaws of the main characters who are just short of a Wizard of Oz line up. There is a coward, an idiot, a cynic and a jock.With this line-up you can expect a very silly, moronic film. Well it is, but the writing and direction takes it to a place a lot more fun than normal. Yes people do get thumped in the testicles and wedgied - but there is also a fair amount of thought and talent in this. I especially like the idea of the "super trooper" who basically wastes his entire life training to use the armour.The CGI is a little bit lacking but I forgive that for the budget. I don't think this was ever intended to be a piece of movie making history, but it is entreating, the plot does kind of work and the characters are unforgivingly true to themselves.Maybe not a Friday night film but this is definitely good for a chuckle.
... View MoreI didn't expect this film to blow my mind but even as a mild bit of fun it wasn't good.It touches on basic action movie conventions but fails to bring anything more to the table than the basics. Lazer Team is full of heroes that you have no reason to like with boring eye rolling comedy. For an "action comedy" it failed to make me laugh more than one little chuckle. It makes you roll your eyes more than it makes you laugh. It's sexist, unfunny and boring. I really wanted this film to be good but it really isn't. The music is cheesy and over the top, the plot is brain dead and plain. The humour fails at every attempt.The only reason it has scored 4 is because I like Rooster Teeth.
