The Bottom Line y58e

You can access 2 different levels of Pixels on DVD and Blu-ray in 3D! A lot of movies these days offer a 3D experience, but Pixels is one of the few where it actually deserves it - you have to it, it's crazy to see PAC-MAN in action when he's the shape of a mega-beach ball! The idea behind Pixels is silly but hilarious, and veteran comedians Adam Sandler and Kevin James make something ridiculous even more fun.

The Pixels Blu-ray and DVD include a ton of bonus materials, like the music video “Game On” by Waka Flocka Flame ft. Good Charlotte, and two featurettes that take a look at the beloved games featured in the film.  In “Q*Bert,” the adorable digital bit hopper comes to life, while “Dojo Quest” gives viewers a look at the new classic arcade game that gave life to the unstoppable Lady Lisa (Ashley Benson).

Pixels on Blu-ray has six additional featurettes, including looks at all the classic arcade game characters featured in the film - retro game fans will love “Creator of the Machine,” which shows PAC-MAN creator Toru Iwatani on-set, talking about his experience and what he thought of the movie.

This movie is basically a nerd's dream, so if you're into games/outer space/comedy and/or special effects, then you already have more than enough reasons to pick up this Blu-ray. Did we mention 3D">
