TL:DR A pleasantly enjoyable film, regardless of if you're a fan of Roosterteeth or not.

The chemistry between the team comes across really well, making the cringing moments in the film (some things a parent shouldn't witness...) very believable, as well as their general interactions with each other. Really gave me a sort of Ghostbusters camaraderie feel with them. That's then backed up by solid work from Alan Ritchson, especially seeing his reactions with being forced to work with a group of common joes when he's essentially been training his entire life.

The story is a touch predictable at times, yet honestly the performances carry it though. As far as the design goes, for low budget they've done a good job. There were moments from the trailers where I feared things that were CGI looked too fake but the final versions look fine, certainly for a low budget production. The general physical set design really sets up the look nicely, to the point of where the CGI blends in pretty well and is believable.

Above all, a perfectly enjoyable film made by a group who I enjoy watching and I could easily see myself watching it again and recommending it to others as a great watch.… Expand

I enjoyed it so damn much.

But it's not all perfect.

Pros of the Film:
-Every joke used in the film was absolutely hilarious, they knew the right time to make the perfect jokes, which is expected because it's Rooster Teeth.
-The actors in general? Yes, almost everyone was perfect, Gavin, Michael, Burnie and Colton performed spectacularly in the roles they were put in, almost like they were born for their roles.
- The chemistry between the characters were pretty good as well, which allowed the film to work.
- The little references of RT Stuff, and other gaming world related things made me very happy!
- The film looked so damn good, even in the small cinema I was sitting in!
-Some special effects were pretty cool looking in the cinema, especially the explosions.

Cons of the Film:
-The story was so damn generic, which resulted in some corny lines being like, "OMG, we have to save the world type of thing", but even though this was there, the jokes kinda of overshadowed that fact.
- THE CGI was dreadful, the aliens looked horrible and a lot of special effects looked so unrealistic it wasn't even funny.
-Lastly, side-characters, most of them were pretty bad, (excluding Alan Ritchinson as Adam and the cameos of small side characters), and you consider why they were even put in the film.

Overall, I'd give this movie an 8 out of 10. Lazer Team tries to put it's self out there with the big guys but inevitably kinda fails. But it is an thrill to watch as it is just so damn funny and action filled. It's also a good start for a small budget film, that it can be this good. I hope Rooster Teeth can now just use this as an experience to push on further to make more films and I wish them well for the future!… Expand

Lazer Team is a movie that will make you laugh every minute and will entertain you the whole way through. If you aren't a Rooster Teeth fan you might not like it as much but will still make you laugh for the most part.

Now of course I can be critical of the movie and talk about plot holes or things I did not like but nothing made me lose immersion. I am definitely going to watch it again. It is a sci fi comedy that does not take itself seriously and you shouldn't take it seriously either. Just enjoy it for what it is.… Expand

A film cannot succeed without solid writing. Critics can say what they like about this film, that the special effects were sub-par, the acting was hit or miss, whatever.

Critics can say what they like about this film, that the special effects were sub-par, the acting was hit or miss, whatever. The fact of the matter was that the writing was not just funny, often downright hilarious, and it was delivered exceedingly well. Critics tend to have problems with comedies, because they don't treat it like a comedic film, but like a regular drama or action film with comedy sprinkled in. It's not Avengers that has some good comedic writing; it's a comedy film, made to deliver comedy. The special effects, the action, everything is a vehicle for delivering the next joke. A comedic movie is like a standup set with a story to tie it together, and Lazer Team does just that. The story is cohesive and engaging enough to get you to the next joke, and you don't have to wait long! If you're going to see Lazer Team to do anything but laugh, you're going for the wrong reason. Expect to laugh and be engaged when you're not. But I guess most critics are humorless old farts.… Expand

As a fan of RoosterTeeth and their content It was a no-brainer choice to help the funding of the project. After watching it last night on my computer at home (backers got a digital copy almost exactly the same time it premiered) I can say I was satisfied with the result. Mild pacing issues and the character back stories seem like they are rushed slightly. I know their were a few moments when i knew how i should feel but couldn't quite get there. All that aside, If you're looking for a fun popcorn flick that has your 20-something internet humor in mind this film is worth your time. I will be seeing it again with friends, as well as other RoosterTeeth fans, in a theater on one of its Jan. 28 showings and maybe that atmosphere will yield different and exciting results.… Expand

It knew it was a comedy first, sci-fi second. The movie only suffered due to its censoring, it was the PG version of Neighborhood Watch without having to put up with Vince Vaughn. All actors held their own with the YouTube personalities stealing the show, due to casting them all as lovable idiots. This is definitely the break out movie Rooster Teeth needs and will only help their chances of being a great production house.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alright, this movie was very good in my opinion. I went to see it on the day it was released and it went exactly as you would imagine. Every Rooster Teeth fan was there :D. Now let's get to the exciting part. The characters was what I really enjoyed. They had Hagan (Burnie Burns) a cop who was having some trouble adjusting to life, especially with his daughter (Allie DeBerry) and best friend Herman (Colton Dunn) who I thought was funny, but not much. I was the type of guy that really liked Woody (Gavin Free) and Zach (Michael Jones) because I knew them the most. I knew Burnie as well but not like I did with two of the members in Achievement Hunter. Furthermore, Gavin's performance was one that definitely made me laugh. Michael's role was kind of obvious but yeah, it was cool to see him as a somewhat normal jock. I also admit this was way better than pixels, because it had some uniqueness to it and that's what I liked.

The only thing I liked about Pixels was the fact that some memorable video games got to appear in there.… Expand
