Story: A message is beamed out from Earth in the past to try and connect with extraterrestrial life. Among other pop culture elements, the message contains some old videogames. In the present day, aliens unleash those videogames on Earth in real life, in a destructive way. Only a few gamers can save the earth from annihilation.

 Review: What do you get when you take a dollop of Adam Sandler-style goofball humor and supplement it with nostalgia-laden videogame visuals from the 1980s? Pixels presents a barrage of this and more that can at times, hammer on the senses.

 Brenner (Sandler) and Cooper (James) were excellent at videogames as kids. The only person, who could top Brenner, was Eddie Plant (Dinklage, the movie's hilarious highlight) who defeated Brenner in Donkey Kong. Brenner and Cooper are also buddies with Ludlow (Gad), who lives and breathes gaming. This was in the early 80s.

 Cut to the present day and Brenner works in the electronics industry. While it pays the bills, it certainly isn't what he hoped he'd be doing. Especially when compared to his childhood.
