I'm almost crying. I remember before I found out Moviebob was an SJW he mentioned this movie and said.... um, maybe a sequel would have Classic gaming Vs. Hardcore XBOX gaming. such a great idea. - @Thursday, November 22, 2018 10:30 PM

This needs to be rebooted, the time is right. I LOVE this film and I think it's the perfect time with how popular video games are currently. Feel-good movies like this are rare, I can't help but feel awesome after watching this and there are so many more who don't even know the joy. - @Monday, November 12, 2018 10:45 PM

Just thought about this movie today. Watch this with my dad when I was young. We both liked it but the rest of my family didn't. We were discussing the movie over dinner and my mom and siblings were bashing the movie. My dad stood up for the movie and began fishing for my approval of the movie knowing that I enjoyed the movie. The rest of my family were looking at me disgusted so I left my dad hanging and I said that I didn't like it. My dad didn't say anything afterward. I’m sorry dad. I genuinely loved this movie. I love you and I miss you. - @Wednesday, March 28, 2018 6:59 PM

I miss the sci-fi movies of the 80s. Lucas opened the door in the late 70s for all these filmmakers to try and make good imaginative movies. yes they probably were adapted from books but that is the good thing. I want to watch this movie again, bring me back to when I was a kid. Making me think of all the other movies in the 80s and 90s growing up. - @Thursday, March 15, 2018 4:01 PM
