Awful-awful
Being that I’m coveringSundance Film FestivalforFlixist(Dtoid’s hot younger sister site that is totally legal and wants your number) this week, I had the great displeasure of watchingVirtually Heroes. For those unfamiliar with the film, it follows two videogame characters within aContra-like game, as they become aware of their situation. I feel pretty confident saying it’s the worst videogame film yet and that includesDead or Aliveand whatever else you can throw at me, because those films are at least fun in their awfulness.
Here’s what I had to say aboutVirtually Heroesinmy Sundance review:
From the publicity stills, description, and cast, it was always certain thatVirtually Heroeswould be awful. I just needed to find out whether it’d be fun-awful or awful-awful. Somewhere between flashing “Achievement Unlocked: Teabag That Ho” on screen and the main characters (two male soldiers) being awarded a “No-Homo Bonus” after settling a dispute, it became very clear whereVirtually Heroessits and that I wish I was sitting anywhere outside the theater.
