PlayStation Productions delivers a surreal and stalled movie, filled with awkward gimmicks.
This is one of many early indications that the film isn't firing right. First, in real life, it's not my experience of parties that sitting in the corner on one's phone is an effective tactic for winning friends. Second, if someone did bother to speak to me - about video games, no less - correcting them on the finer points of simulation versus arcade play would almost certainly not result in their asking me to"DM them sometime," as Audrey does.
It feels as though PlayStation Productions were in a kind of Film Academy, testing its prowess with the virtual against the more tangible art of filmmaking, where the real magic's found through having a little give. You wish you could scrape away all the scaffolding and get to the movie underneath, but the script is marked with glowing throughlines. Every dramatic kink and corner is mapped ahead of time: the nasty rival, the crash, the crisis of conviction, the last-second win.
