Showdown: Video Game Movies

Virtual worlds that define video games are nearly limitless, unless an evil AI is harnessing your lifeblood in a vast human farm, while keeping you docile in a sim-like reality. Whether you are the chosen one or the nerdy one, if you were born sometime after 1972, video games likely have played at least some role in your life. When Atari was born in Sunnyvale, California, it was all but inevitable that their explosive popularity would lead to movies about video games and movies based on video games, and movies where video games transpose real life and… you get the picture. We debated where to draw the lines and you are about to see the high scores. Fire up your console, charge up your controllers, and strap on your haptic suits. Get ready for the Thunderdome!
