“Some movies are so interminable that it seems they might never end, while others are assembled with such indifference that you are essentially left waiting for them to start. Pixels somehow manages both.” Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times – http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/mo ... story.html
“Pixels started off lazily enough, with nothing more on its mind than ripping off Ghostbusters with video game characters. But it stumbled onto an accomplishment truly awe-inspiring: It makes Battleship and The Watch look good.” Kyle Smith, New York Post. http://nypost.com/2015/07/23/thanks-to- ... rs-career/
“Pixels is a movie without wit, without jokes, with nothing to say but plenty to regurgitate.” John Semley, The Globe and Mail – http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/fil ... e25650151/

“Director Chris Columbus surely hopes that today’s teen gamers, hooked on Halo and Call of Duty, will care about what happened 30 years ago. That’s iffy, unless 13-year-olds think it’s a scream when Dinklage asks to be part of a sex sandwich with Serena Williams and Martha Stewart, who both do cameos.” Peter Travers, Rolling Stone – http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/revi ... s-20150723

“When one considers how good this material might have been if placed in the right hands, to see it squandered this way makes it almost more painful to view than the typical Sandler stinker.” Peter Sobczynski, RoberEbert.com – http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/pixels-2015
“A collection of 1980s references in search of jokes.”John Serba, MLive.com – http://www.mlive.com/movies/index.ssf/2 ... r_sti.html

“… an actor who doesn’t want to be there, a director who doesn’t know what to do, a conceit that runs on autopilot, and a muddle of tones that feels like the screenwriting software is crashing around us as we watch. ” Bilge Ebiri, Vulture.com – http://www.vulture.com/2015/07/movie-re ... reset.html

“Calling Pixels one of Sandler’s better movies is like calling a particular strain of Ebola somewhat less horrifically painful; either way, it’s not pleasant.” Randy Cordova, The Arizona Republic – http://www.azcentral.com/story/entertai ... /30493295/

“A middle finger aimed right at the audience.” Bryan Bishop, The Verge – http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/22/90124 ... am-sandler

It was an alien invasion movie, what did you expect? At least they didn't disguise themselves as video game characters
