Basic breakd0wn 0f Unicorn City: A tablet0p gaming nerd wh0 has tr0uble separating his fantasy w0rld from real life, applies t0 a j0b. The manager at a gaming c0mpany listens t0 him talk ab0ut h0w he runs a guild.. blah blah blah... and ign0res him explaining that 50 0ther pe0ple said the same thing. If he wants t0 get hired, he needs t0 d0 s0mething more 0riginal. He is given 1 week t0 pr0ve himself.Thus- Unic0orn City. He creates a gaming ut0pia city where his guildites and him can live (0n Private Property) in peace. He enlists his friend t0 help him d0cument his "success". But cha0s starts t0 ensue when his gaming nemesis finds his "secret" l0cati0n and tries t0 claim it f0r himself.The m0vie can be s0mewhat sl0w at times, but it has a l0t 0f laughs in it. You d0n't have t0 be a gamer t0 laugh at hum0r and j0kes. A l0t 0f laughs, h0wever, c0me fr0m acti0ns m0re than w0rds. S0, y0u really have t0 be watching the m0vie t0 get the full hum0r of it all. The characters are pretty realistic. A l0t 0f gamers have different pers0nalities, they're n0t 0nly 0ne type like p0rtrayed in s0me media. You d0 have nerds. But, then, you have the "g0th/punk" girl, the "wh0rish" girl, the d0uche bag guy, the f0reign guy, the main character wh0 is kind 0f nerdy but n0rmal, t00. And all the in-between pe0ple. That's what I liked a l0t was that there was variety in characters. The m0vie kind 0f reminds me 0f the sh0w "The Guild". S0, if y0u're a big fan 0f that, y0u'll like this m0vie a l0t.

I like it a lot. I live where the film was made and know a couple of the actors in Real Life. It was Matt Mattson's dad who told me about it and I went partly as a favor to him: but the plot was a hoot, the characters over-drawn (a little bit) people that I know, and the balance between parody and Real Life was a fine line most of the time.Anyone not familiar with the LARPing (live action role-playing) crowd will get a good insight seeing this movie. That's what my title means: the characters are more real than exaggerated. The costuming as they LARP around is one of the most real parts: some are worthy of Weta Workshop, while other get-ups are ridiculously incomplete and embarrassingly bad. "Rhubarb's" centaur outfit is the centerpiece and probably will be your favorite too. I also liked the character in full plate armor: we never see his/her face, because, even around the campfire, s/he leaves the visor down and inserts carrot sticks through it.Instead of a rough-edged local production, as I feared, I got to enjoy a professionally finished movie that made me laugh. I could relax early into it, because there weren't any moments where I was jarred out of my enjoyment by some poorly crafted nonsense: the dialog was always fun and swift, the characters were varied and interesting, and I know some of the people and principal places in RL (for instance, I play war games at Hastur semi weekly; and Matt Mattson grew up around the corner from my house). If this film was made mostly by Mormons, then this film company has learned how to do it right, finally....

By far one of the best comedies I have seen in the theaters in a very long time! The friendly nature of the movie makes it appealing to all ages. And the clean humor ensures you that it will be a safe movie for just about anyone. The characters, though portrayed by Hollywood-unknowns, add in the perfect mix of seriousness and fun into their acting. Everyone of them will definitely be known after this film! You may think that a movie about live action role playing gamers would be boring, or dull...Oh how wrong you would be! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good laugh in the movie theater!

When a culture has the ability to make fun of itself while making you care about the characters and what they do in their lives, you have a movie that is going to receive my praise. I don't care if it is the culture of business, rock, or gamer, and good movie spoofing what it is is always welcome. Unicorn City was funny, clever, and well written. I didn't understand the lingo all the time, but didn't have to to get the full effect of the jokes. The Centaur stole the show, but their were plenty of other memorable characters that kept me laughing. Clean, family friendly comedy. I recommend it for all ages, and great to see with a group of friends as you will all be quoting lines from the movie. My hat is off to the Live Action Gaming community, you can make a real funny movie.
