The first movie I watched on Movie Pass and the first of 2018.

When I was first prompted to watch this movie, I had thought it was some kind of remake or the original. But I was surprised to find that had a fresh idea. Hero avatars taken over by teenagers. Although not as fresh if you knew about about movies coming out soon. Perhaps it copied the idea from some other story, most likely player one. It was still pretty sweet to see this story.

The avatars had some stats that helped their end goal and some weaknesses that played into the story.

The Rock playing a nerd inside a superhuman body. Kevin hart playing a jock inside a little person’s body. They both owned their roles. Great chemistry between the cast, it was extremely enjoyable to watch.

They probably had a blast making this movie. There were some slow moments, but perhaps they could be explained with the teenage awkwardness they were suppose to showcase.

ACTING: 8/10 For The Rock to actually show his range to act like a nerd, his total opposite. Kevin Hart was just being himself. Karen Gillian and her counterpart Morgan Turner showed us that female empowerment that is going on everywhere right now. Jack Black was pretending to be a popular pretty teenage girl trapped inside a fat man’s body. Pretty hard but he pulled through.

PLOT: 6.7/10 Basically it was put the thing in the thing. It worked. Almost everything you expect with a movie that had big name cast members.

Di Says: Watch it! A summer blockbuster released during winter.
