A movie about video games and featuring video game characters. What's there not to like? Wreck-It Ralph will appeal to gamers for sure. Especially veteran gamers.
The movie is a typical hero's journey style narrative, with the usual redemption theme. The difference is that they manage to create the impression of a living world (a'la Toy Story) in the arcade, chock full of references to the characters and their current state of being. Oh Q*Bert, you poor thing!
While the movie brings nothing new into the narrative space, the characters invite sympathizing if not outright empathy and the redemption story can be particularly poignant to certain folk. I personally liked it, and figure the movie deserves 8/10.
