G*mer was arguably of the best motion pictures of the 21st century, and Definitely best scifi film of literally all time, and I dont get why literally no one mentions it more, and Probably bc its a little controversial/goes against establishment narratives

Ummm... maybe Streetfighter (1994)?
It's unironically a good movie. I don't mean a "good bad movie" I mean it's actually a good movie. Obviously it's a bit simple because it's made for kids, but Van Damme in this speech displays a more mature understanding of international relations than the tards running the "New World Order" (USA, Europe) in 1994. I'm not saying "unironically" ironically, I sincerely believe this. And I never even played the game except in the arcade.

It was meant to be a trilogy, It's been almost 10 years, no sequel in sight. People have been asking for a warcraft movie every time a new expansion cinematic releases, and make it a point to mention they don't want it to be like the one movie they got.

I liked Gran Turismo quite a bit, but it's easily the least vidya movie out of all of these, since it's literally based on the story of a real racing driver who just happened to start out from playing racing games and then won the GT Academy contest. It's like a solid racing movie that has some gaming plot points and visuals/camera angles. Do recommend.

well not getting into how a vault in fricking LA wasn't raided by the master aside, the whole sequence getting to the vault door was much more like the intro to 4. In the other games it was mostly a similar vault room that led into a cave. Just the general aesthetics were also like copy pasted from 4/76
