Stay Alive Fresh Or Stale? *May Contain Spoilers*


[The Freshness]

So last night I decided to go to see this movie, fully expecting garbage. So I tried to get a group together, ha. The only one that showed up was Rook, we were working up the street so it worked out nice. First off it is another one of those PG-13 movies, so. Second the only real "name" in the movie is Frankie Muniz.

So it starts off with some guy playing the game "Stay Alive", very clever working in the title of the movie...Hate that. Moving on, it looks like we have joined him right as he has started, first person view in the game. He gets killed (in the game) kind of quick the way I see it. So he calls up his friend, the "main character", Hutch. Blah Blah, he ends up dead. Hutch shows up at the funeral and his dead friend's sister gives him a bag full of video games. Some hot chick snaps a few photos and now apparently they become buddies. Enter the rest of the cast, they find a copy of the game and decide to play.

It turns out that the way you die in the game is the way you end up dying in "real life". Two words people, God Codes. Anyways the best part of the movie is when Frankie Muniz is playing the game as a decoy while others are trying to find a way to beat it in the "real world". Apparently the game "cheats" and he screams "Hey B*tch that's cheating I didn't die in the game" as he is running through the woods.

[The Staleness]

Too Stale to come.

[The Verdict]

[The Freshness] Tough call. I would say if it is possible to see the movie for next to free, then hop to. Do not expect too much as the movie is overall Stale. If you go with the right people and mock the movie it can be enjoyable.
