The movie doesn't start as a comedy, but once competitors have to be found it turns into a comedy. For example, PappaPooh happens to be home with his kids in Portland, Oregon, which provides many opportunities for laughs. Once the action begins, while there is comedy, it's not as much a part of the movie as it was earlier.
The actors playing the competitors are really good, and they make us care about them. There are plenty of laughs as well as touching moments.
The actress playing Captain Jenkins does a capable job. Her second in command is good for a few laughs.
The one major weakness is Bob Rue as William. He seems like he is auditioning for the role, or perhaps reading with the person auditioning for another role. While he has his moments, he should have been told, "Thank you, we'll let you know."
The video game art is what I will call video game realistic. Not real realistic, but quite detailed.
I have no experience whatsoever with video games of any type, and the closest I have gotten to this type of experience is an episode of "Community". Still, I had a good time.
It's quite entertaining.
