Gamer (2009)

So, the world (yes, the world) is caught up in this cultural phenomena where humans control other humans in a real world video game environment.

Players control "slayers", real human convicts playing as soldiers. If you survive 30 battles, the convict earns their freedom

the real human-controls-real-human concept in itself is interesting, very similar to Surrogates (which was a wayyyy better movie btw)

"Society", another game using the mind control tech in movie is completely pointless, just like Playstation Home

now that I think of it, the movie depicted most gamers quite accurately in the society

*batshit crazy twisted and disturbed assholes.

did I mention the scenes about "society" were completely pointless? They didn't add to the movie besides run-time.

whats with the random people walking around during a battle?

movie just felt weird and twisted

started hating the movie in the first 10 minutes

predictable ending if you kept watching
