    Innocent special effects romp is highly enjoyable

    I guess the the way to describe this movie is Ghostbusters lit up in neon. Please see it just for the cgi, it's awesome. If you have the dvd look for the short on how they created one of the cute characters. The comedy is snappy, almost witty, and yet nothing new, but it works. You'll smile rather than laugh out loud. The story is absurd, which is exactly what we pay Hollywood for, and with this one they've outdone themselves. There's a classic chase. There's a great cameo appearance. There's a cleverly worded love affair. There's a great homage to nerds of the 1980s and overall, I thought, a really whacky satire of big budget invasion movies. It's just such fun.

    Highly underrated

    A fun movie, with bright actors. Entertaining and authentic. Worth surely the view

    IMDB reviews

    When I search for a movie, I read the real peoples reviews. They're the critics I listen to. And I'm glad I did! This movie was awesome!

    Better than its rating

    I'm not sure why such a low rating. This is easily one of the better Sandler flicks in my book, and there aren't actually that many I like. It's fun, nothing's taken too seriously, it's well-acted and well-directed, there's a minimum of the obligatory shock humor that seems to invade all of his movies. I mean, you could probably let the kids watch and that stuff will go over their heads. Maybe, maybe not. Watch it yourself first.

    I watched it a second time and still enjoyed it. That doesn't happen all that often.

    Why can't some people just have fun?

    I saw some bad reviews on here AFTER watching the movie, so I just thought I would add my own opinion. Why would you hate on a movie like this? Especially if you're my age and remember all these classic games. The cameos were outstanding, and I didn't expect it to win any Oscars. Man, some people need to lighten up. Was Ghostbusters trashed like this?

    • Trivia
      Toru Iwatani: An arcade repairman. The creator of Pac Pac (1980) did not play himself because he doesn't speak English.
    • Goofs
      Several of the game figures that the aliens use for their patterns are from games released after 1982, such as Tetris (1984), Arkanoid (1986), and Paperboy (1984). The film never claimed that the probe was launched in 1982, only that it included footage from that year. It could've been launched years later, and included footage from later years. Long delays aren't that rare in NASA. Also, the aliens could've updated their data by picking up Earth transmissions after the probe got their attention.
    • Quotes

      Sam Brenner: We have something better than light cannons! We have a positive can-do attitude!

      Ludlow Lamonsoff: [sighing, reassured] Ah!

      Sam Brenner: I'm kidding, we're all gonna die. I'm just... sorry.

    • Crazy credits
      The closing credits re-run a synopsis of the movie in 8-bit style.
    • Alternate versions
      According to Reuters and other news sources, the film was censored to increase the chances of being releases in the Peoples' Republic of China (China only allows a total of 34 foreign films into the country) and to increase revenue. In the original 2013 script, the aliens blasted a hole in the Great Wall. That scene was deleted and instead, the aliens struck iconic sites elsewhere, smashing the Taj Mahal in India, the Washington Monument and parts of Manhattan. This new version became the worldwide release, not just an alternative.
