The main problem with "Pixels" is that it thinks it's clever and funny, but it looks like the creative team behind this movie didn't put enough effort into actually making it clever and funny. There's a lot of stupid things that happen in this, and unfortunately it isn't even stupid funny. It's suppose to be a comedy, but it just wasn't funny. It's suppose to be entertaining, but it wasn't enjoyable to watch.
From a classic arcade gamer who feels useless in life, a United States President who has an embarrassing public image, to invading video game looking aliens, there's a lot of things going on with this story. It's too bad the story feels like a first draft script. This movie seems fit to break it's own established logic and does whatever it wants with the plot just for a few laughs. Well, there's that problem again, it didn't succeed in making me laugh!
I saw this primarily for all the classic arcade video game characters, and the movie failed to make me care about them. They did a decent job with QBert, but even that they absolutely ruined by the end of the movie. If you want to watch a movie that does a great job of bringing the world of video games to life, go watch "Wreck-it Ralph," "Scott Pilgrim vs The World," "The King Of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters," "The Last Starfighter," or "Tron" instead.
"Pixels" has got to be the laziest directing work done by Chris Columbus, but at least the whole all star cast of actors and celebrity cameos looked like they were actually having fun making this movie. Unfortunately, us viewers didn't get to experience that fun while watching it.
