FPS: First Person Shooter

What a great job done!

A very interesting movie that feels just like playing an old school FPS game. It mixes old school gaming elements, such as pixelated art and other funny stuff.

If you are an old school gamer, you should remember games such as Blood, Doom, Catacomb 3D...and many many more FPS that marked an era.

The story is good, it gets a hold of you.

The camera work is excellent. It does the job great. The filming location is amazing and was setup disturbingly fine. Great work there guys!

I'd recommend this only for hardcore gamers and zombie fans. This movie is definitely not for everyone. You need to have a good background of gaming history and gaming love in order to enjoy it.

A very well done experiment!!

FPS is a movie inspired by fast paced 90s shooters but with the slow pacing of horror games. Watch Hardcore Henry if you want to see this concept done right.

If you watch this as an experiment, as a first time feature, as something the filmmaker tries to learn from, then you will be able to "enjoy" it. Just watching someone else play a game can be fun I reckon (SharePlay and a lot of YouTube channels would suggest so), but it can get boring and annoying too.

There's a lot of gaming references and it is old school with things (if you pick something up, there is no animation of your character picking it up, but it disappears for a second to reappear in your hand/s), which is sort of funny and stays so during the course of the movie. The effects aren't amazing and the acting is on low level too (that voice can be disturbing in a bad way). A short movie would have been sufficient, but I guess someone had to one of these ...

I had no idea what to expect from a movie called First Person Shooter, so I went in with no expectation, simply waiting to see a cheap movie and nothing more.

Was it cheap? Yep. Was it bad? Well, define bad. The camera work was quite good for what it meant to be, the lines, most of them, borrowed from other movies, but used properly. Had a gag there. The story? Typical zombie flick. The intro of the movie, laughed out loud, the rest, exactly like an old school horror game that maybe, moves too slowly sometimes.

Many good references to other movies and games, will put a smile on your face for sure, of course, not as a horror movie but as a indie little project that worked alright in the end. It really did act like a game, considering this is what it aimed for, I think it managed to hit the mark.

Thus, First Person Shooter is simply a project, a beginning for someone's career and from this alone, my opinion is that we could expect great things.

Cheers!

... or at least seen in parts.

Movies shot in first person need more than a hand holding a gun and lots of bad animated blood. They need some more action than a protagonist sneaking through a location and having "fights" with some cheap looking monsters.

Don't get me wrong: cheap must not equal bad. But this time it does.

For me the movie lacked some speed, some action (blood and gore is not action), and a bit more of a "plot" would not have hurt. I got so bored watching this piece of wasted time, I fast forwarded through only to find out that it goes on and on and on like it started until the end. Impossible to spoil it.

This is the first movie I could not finish, and usually I watch movies from start to end, no matter how bad they were.
