Synopsis: 

To cut it short, this movie was about four high school kids who got into detention. As you are a rebel teen, I guess you wouldn't do what you were supposed to do and so these kids discovered an old video game console. They were later on drawn into the game's jungle setting. In the game setting, they became the adult avatars that they chose and it was a heck of an adventure for them. In order to return to the real world, they'll have to survive the game and accomplish all mission until the end of the game, otherwise they'll be stuck forever or possibly die.

Movie rating: 4/5 ⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Review: 

I personally love the graphics and the acting. I must strongly say that their acting was so great and it's true a good movie needs good actors and actresses. Although the story line is kind of cliche, I like the life lessons that the movie brought upon. First of all, do not spend too much time gaming. Haha. I am an avid gamer myself, and yes, we need the balance in life. Second, sometimes, not everyone judge you in this world. Don't think too much of what others think of you because sometimes you are just feeding yourself with negative thoughts. (this is actually a reminder for myself too >.<) Third, always get to know someone before talking about them. Even so, know them well, get to know the good side of the person, because as humans, we always do have a good and bad side of us. We are not perfect after all and I cannot stop emphasizing how imperfect we are. We just gotta make sure the good is more than the bad. :) 

Next, I love how the female characters supported each other and became best friends after. We need to support each other and stop hatred. Seriously guys, its the way of living peacefully and in harmony. Furthermore, NEVER EVER LOOK DOWN on others. We've seen how the main lead wasn't a cool guy in school, wasn't strong, not sporting... But hey, look who's the main character? Also, this movie emphasized on how we all have our strengths and weaknesses, we all have to work together to put the strengths to good use in order to proceed in life. I think that is one of the major take home message I've received from this movie. I like how the movie taught us to find our purpose in life, questioning what do we want to do, and how to make it happen. I am still in the midst of searching for myself, loving myself as who I am, just being myself, and trying to believe that I am as unique as everyone. So, this movie kind of gave me a little push and motivation to find myself and for me to be comfortable in my own skin. Other than all these, I love how they incorporate humor with action and all the emotions in this movie. So it wasn't very stressful in the sense of "kan-cheong" (anticipation? - I can't find a good word to replace this) while watching it. It was very relaxing and I was super immersed into the movie. Lastly, NICK JONAS is in the movie, what's not to watch?!
