Virtual Reality Attitude to Russian cinema, and in particular to Russian fiction and action films in recent years, the bulk of the audience was not very positive. And finally, the creators of our big movie realized this and began to work on the mistakes, analyzing old failures and moving our big movie forward into Hollywood style. For this, a huge thank you to Pavel Sanayev and his film “At the Game”.
In those centuries, the acting game finally does not cause doubts and complaints, the characters are not only in the frame, but also demonstrate the characters and the inner world of the characters, thereby causing a variety of emotions in the viewer and attitude to the hero. All the characters are made in such a way that the story draws into what is happening. Thanks to the excellent acting and bright presentation of characters and images, there is a complete immersion in what is happening on the screen. Sympathy, joy, dislike, much more, and the degree of tension sometimes goes off the scales on the highest note. Everything is foldable, perfectly filmed and very competently musically decorated. The film catches, he is able to attract and put himself in the place of a character in a certain scene.
The visual series is made in a Hollywood manner, in the style of classical bondiana. The same “Bond” turned out to be the image of the main villain, and in general the entourage and environment of negative characters. Brief bright phrases, flawlessly executed CGI airship, action with shootings and to the delight of the male half there is a beautiful erotic scene. The film should be praised in general for the frankness and lack of censorship scissors inherent in blockbuster-style projects of the West. “On the game” can be safely described as an R-rated movie, full of cruelty and violence, with elements of nude, and not recommended for viewing by persons under 16 years. A tough fantastic action movie that looks in one breath, fascinatingly telling its story about several young students in whose hands was so to say “magic wand”. And what happens when virtual reality is so exciting that the world around you becomes indistinguishable from the game. Life is like a game or a game of life, and here everyone makes his choice, increasing the interest and degree of tension.
The story is not new, and the plot fits into the traditional framework of predictability and even platitude of development, but at the same time, such elements can be approached from the side of observing the canons of the genre and the presence of elements that pay tribute to the main traditions is only beneficial. And the action scenes themselves are diluted with really funny humor through dialogue and even some funny situations. There are many successful moments, for which you should praise separately and express your gratitude, but because the film after watching you want to disassemble literally by scenes and individual plot details. But I want to see it continue even more. And it seems to me that such a project as “On the Game” should be evaluated holistically and viewed in its entirety, the first and second parts. After all, this is one film, divided into two parts, and not two different productions that are related by their heroes.
And therefore, this film is definitely worth going to see and hear with your own eyes, immerse yourself in history and imbue with the very spirit and style of what is happening. And then, after waiting for the second part of the film, we have a holistic view of the whole story. After all, for all the advantages of the first film - this is just the beginning, and then it will be even more interesting, even cooler and even more spectacular. Great work, I look forward to it!
