Lazer Team

I personally thought it was a fantastic movie. As a huge fan of Rooster Teeth and their partners, I was ecstatic when I heard they were making a feature-length film. However, it should probably be rated "R," as there are many over-the- top sexual jokes, and A LOT of swearing. It does well in the science-fiction-comedy genre, which is completely under appreciated, and as such, is VERY funny. My guest and I were laughing out loud at many points in the movie. I should note, however, it would likely not hold up as well for an outsider to the Rooster Teeth community, as there are many inside jokes made that would just seem crass to other audience members.

I wouldn't call myself a big Roosterteeth fan, but I do enjoy their Podcast and early RvB. But I feel this movie relies to much on RT's general fandom, as much of the film's fun factor is recognizing the personalities present from their other productions. But for anyone outside of that fandom the uninteresting plot, stereotypical characters and, downright terrible cgi make this movie incredibly boring and bad. For me however the biggest disappointment is the humor present or I suppose absence of, in the film. A series of immature jokes of people getting hit in the crotch or banging a daughter that a 15 year-old would question the humor of, fall utterly flat through out.

Cmmpared to latest comedies; LAZERTEAM is really an achievement in fun. Four very common guys get tied with an alien weapon suit (they cannot get rid of) and must fight a champion from another world in order to save Earth. The problem is they have only four days to learn has to use the different parts of the suit and the military makes things even more complicated. Add to the mess another group of aliens trying to kill them and the fact that these guys are far from heroic and very bad fighters. The important thing is that the movie only wants you to make you laugh; it has good production values; some violent moments; some good FX and some cheesy ones. The pace is so fast that never gets boring. There was a lot of room for improvement; but considering it is this group first feature; it is really very good and lets hope the next one is even better.

I found this film to be a perfect balance between good story-telling and hilarious comedy. Though stupid at points, it was a funny sort of stupid that made you want to simply keep on watching. When the film ended, I was genuinely sad. I wanted to see more. This film proves you don't need a giant studio and lots of money to make a decent film. Burnie Burns, Matt Hullum and Rooster Teeth as a whole really show off their amazing talent in this film. I really hope to see more films by them in the future (preferably featuring more of that Slo-Mo dude Gavin Free). Oh, and that reminds me, if you are indeed a fan of Rooster Teeth, this film has a few little easter eggs in it, it makes it funner to watch. An excellent film (9/10), the best in a long long time.

Throughout the entire movie, I recommend fans of RoosterTeeth and their content to keep an eye out for references on other titles RoosterTeeth has produced. The movie rewards us fans by giving us the gratitude of knowing the smaller or lesser known inside jokes that other people might not understand. This movie definitely pays homage to the fans who have made this movie possible and don't take for granted the amount of money they raised. RoosterTeeth stays humble to their roots and very cleverly incorporates small easter eggs and inside jokes. From the action, the writing and the acting, Lazer Team is the perfect movie for a fan of RoosterTeeth who enjoy their content and find humour where others wouldn't. Well done RoosterTeeth, Matt, Burnie, Gavin, Colton and Michael for delivering what was promised to the masses of loyal fans who have gathered throughout the years. You ever wonder why we're here? Its one of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here?

I was completely thrown off by the IMDb rating of 7+ on this one. That is just criminal. I just checked, a few days after I watched, and it's down to 6.8. I'm sure it will go lower. It's just a shame that the rating was obviously pumped up by "friends" of the show because it was a complete waste of time watching this one. The story is actually not that bad and this could have actually been an okay movie if it was done by professionals. The acting is really atrocious in this one, really awful. Now that I think of it, I don't even think well-known actors could have saved this one. I'm thinking of Pixels and how that was a somewhat decent movie idea but even with a well-known cast it was awful. Of course, Adam Sandler was the main reason why that one was so bad. When is Hollywood gonna get a clue on Sandler? Anyway, back to this movie. They hinted at a sequel towards the end. Let's hope that never happens. There seems to be some kind of cult following and/or history behind this movie. I don't know about that. I just know that it was terrible.

Full disclosure. I am a great fan of rooster teeth and its employees. This film was rooster teeth to the very end. No its not a big Hollywood block buster and nor would I class it an indie. It is a mindless action comedy which had me actually laughing at points. I get frustrated with most movies but this one I found I could let go and just let the silliness wash over me. The story was better then PIXLES by a mile and the team looked like they had fun. The editing was OK as was the acting but nothing more. For a first film by RT I have to admit it was what I expected. Think with a bit more care and money they can make something very good indeed. People saying this is mindless dumb stuff are correct; that is kind of the point. Its not some serious movie and people should expect it to be. 8/10 as I actually had a good time!

It's very rare when a movie like 'Lazer Team' comes out. It's over-the-top, ridiculous, raunchy, and very silly. However, it works on every level and I found myself having an excellent time in the theater from start to finish, laughing so hard, it hurt. Matt Hullum and Burnie Burns, the duo that is responsible for the iconic 'Red vs. Blue' series wrote and directed this hilarious feature film. 'Lazer Team' happened because the fans made it happen with a strong crowd funding campaign that ended up earning three times more than what they asked for, and it's evident in the movie. The film looks crazy good with big aerial shots and some fairly good visual effects for a low budget comedy sci-fi movie. 'Lazer Team' centers around a few idiots and misfits in a small town who clumsily stumble upon a spaceship that contains a super suit to battle evil forces. These four misfits consisting of a local cop named Hagens (Burnie Burns), the former football hero turned drunk Herman (Colton Dunn), the jerk star high school quarterback Zach (Michael Jones), and the town idiot Woody (Gavin Free), who all have a certain piece of this super suit attached to themselves that makes them run super fast, shoot a big laser, create a shield/force field, and a helmet that allows the four guys to telepathically communicate and cloak parts of themselves in invisibility. The problem is, these four guys are not smart enough or strong enough to operate this alien technology. Meanwhile, the government was aware that there was an impending attack on Earth by a vicious alien race and have been training a super soldier since birth to save the planet and wear this suit. This super solider is Adam (Alan Ritchson), who is the poster boy for a good looking 'Captain America' type hero. Now these four idiots must come together, led by Ritchson to save humankind and Earth in a battle to the death. What could go wrong? Burns and Hullum have conjured up a hilarious cast and a super funny script, full of movie references and raunchy dialogue that hits all of the right notes, even though some of the jokes are a bit out of style. Things move at a highly entertaining and fun pace, never taking itself seriously. Most movies that do this, miss the mark, but with 'Lazer Team', every cue and comedic punch are executed very well. This is the just- as-funny cousin of the Broken Lizard crew with an equal amount of laughs and thrills. I can't wait for a sequel. I now want to join the 'Lazer Team'. Highly Recommended!
