Despite promising to get back on track, we managed to come together for the second show in a month and watched a unique movie called “FPS: First Person Shooter.” It tries to pay homage by being in the style of a classic first-person shooter and has lots of nods to several early games, especially “Blood.” The main character is voiced by the same voice actor who played the main character in the Blood games. While the people who made this obviously had a love for these old games, they unfortunately did not share the same love for pretty much anything that is involved with making a movie.
It starts off slow and honestly does not pick up much speed after that. The main character is on a rescue mission to save his wife from a zombie outbreak, but given the sadistic musings of the voice actor it really clashes with the kind of character that the writers wanted to portray. There are several interesting moments, but not enough to fill out a full movie runtime; most of the movie is just the main character singing to himself and idle animations… just so many idle animations. Eventually he tracks down the source of the plague and finds his wife, but it’s too late and you are left wondering why either the viewer or the protagonist bothered.
Proposed Drinking Games:
— Drink when the main character gets a key
— Drink when the main character takes a dose of medicine
— Drink when the main character sings
— Drink every time there is a poorly spoken tape/letter
