    I had no idea what to expect from a movie called First Person Shooter, so I went in with no expectation, simply waiting to see a cheap movie and nothing more.

    Was it cheap? Yep. Was it bad? Well, define bad. The camera work was quite good for what it meant to be, the lines, most of them, borrowed from other movies, but used properly. Had a gag there. The story? Typical zombie flick. The intro of the movie, laughed out loud, the rest, exactly like an old school horror game that maybe, moves too slowly sometimes.

    Many good references to other movies and games, will put a smile on your face for sure, of course, not as a horror movie but as a indie little project that worked alright in the end. It really did act like a game, considering this is what it aimed for, I think it managed to hit the mark.

    Thus, First Person Shooter is simply a project, a beginning for someone's career and from this alone, my opinion is that we could expect great things.

    Cheers!

    If you watch this as an experiment, as a first time feature, as something the filmmaker tries to learn from, then you will be able to "enjoy" it. Just watching someone else play a game can be fun I reckon (SharePlay and a lot of YouTube channels would suggest so), but it can get boring and annoying too.

    There's a lot of gaming references and it is old school with things (if you pick something up, there is no animation of your character picking it up, but it disappears for a second to reappear in your hand/s), which is sort of funny and stays so during the course of the movie. The effects aren't amazing and the acting is on low level too (that voice can be disturbing in a bad way). A short movie would have been sufficient, but I guess someone had to one of these ...

    What a great job done!

    A very interesting movie that feels just like playing an old school FPS game. It mixes old school gaming elements, such as pixelated art and other funny stuff.

    If you are an old school gamer, you should remember games such as Blood, Doom, Catacomb 3D...and many many more FPS that marked an era.

    The story is good, it gets a hold of you.

    The camera work is excellent. It does the job great. The filming location is amazing and was setup disturbingly fine. Great work there guys!

    I'd recommend this only for hardcore gamers and zombie fans. This movie is definitely not for everyone. You need to have a good background of gaming history and gaming love in order to enjoy it.

    A very well done experiment!!

    This movie can actually be summarized with a single word: no!

    Actually I will be gracious here and give it three words: no, just no!

    Well, let's be fair and honest, "FPS: First Person Shooter" didn't really have the odds in its favor, now did it? I mean, a movie made like a First Person Shooter styled game, just how thrilling and entertaining can that be? Well, it might have had a chance if it wasn't so ridiculously laughable.

    First of all, you have to suffer through the worst graphics ever in that abysmal intro. Why did they even bother with that? Was it meant as a joke? It was just painful to watch, especially since even the dialogue was equally bad.

    Then the movie finally started, and it just slumped to an even lower place. I actually turned it off after this point. I just managed to watch like a couple of minutes of the actual live action movie, after having suffered through that grievous animated intro.

    Everything about this movie was just abysmal. The acting, the cinematography, the plot, the concept. Probably even the special effects, but to be honest I don't know, because I gave up on the movie before it got to a point where they used special effects.

    "FPS: First Person Shooter" will be quickly forgotten, like a dirty, shameful secret. And I have no intentions of returning to watch the rest of it, because it just lacked anything that even remotely resembled entertainment or appeal.

    A bottom-scraping one out of ten stars for "FPS: First Person Shooter". Do yourself a favor and avoid this one.

    I liked all the old Games a lot, this movie had a lot of references i liked. The German voice of the main character was appealing. It was much like a small System Shock. The Camera work was nice and well done, i liked every bit of it, not a bad B-Movie, compared to Boll this is genius production. It keeps all the promises it makes, and really, i was very entertained. The old hospital was a great location which was very well modified to resemble a apocalyptic scenario. Compliment to Mask, Camera Man, Editor and Production Crew who made a very well movie out of a tight budged. For fans of old games and fans of zombie movies only the combination of both will enjoy this greatly, but i did and therefore i should give 7/10.

    I never thought I could keep watching this movie. But after 10 minutes I wanted to see what will happen at the end. It reminded me many scenes from the old indie FPS games specially Blood (1997). Blood was my favorite game along with Quake 1 and 2 and Doom series and that amazing Wolfenstein 3D (1992). It was a cheap movie but worth to watch. The filming location was creepy as hell and the ending was unpredictable at-least to me. The guy's voice also was also very similar to the Blood's one. If you like to be reminded about the old good times you were playing these games it is a good movie to watch. I am expecting to see more from the creator. He definitely showed some talents making this movie.

    The concept is simple but sounded fun, but theres a lot that went wrong and a only a few things that went right. The script is terribly paced, the games this is inspired by came from the 90s didnt even have cutscenes or anything much of a story, but they were more interesting, because they changed things up and they were faster, the levels took about 10minutes, 10min in this movie is a timespan where you move maybe 4 rooms foward and find one meaningless item. I have a high tolerance to trash if its either intentionally well done trash (although thats very hard), or sincere atempts that really tried doing something right, but wither didnt have the money or lacked the knowledge on how to make a film. This movie has a lot of things that could be polished and some could have easily been better with a little more effort, the didnt even have to hire anyone for those things. it comes of lazy. An example is that our protagonist finds a pc and as easter egg it has the game-influences (doom, blood, quake), but they are empty folders. Everyone knows how to get the original icons of these games and they simply couldve used them as icon, they didnt even have to install the games. Thats something that takes maybe 10mins. The voice of our player seems unfitting as well, it sounds like a 60 year old smoker, not some young badass. Every computer graphic looks out of place, why would a corpse turn into pixels? The opening doesnt look like an old game, it looks like a terrible indie game, trying to be old, but old games had great limitations on the veriety and gradients of colors, just put your graphics in a lower bit-rate and you got it, simple. The style also is ugly and doesnt fit the games they take as influences, none of them were side-scrolers, how can you mess this up? Then it has a HUD like a remastered game, but "autosave" and "loading", etc. is very pixelated, it just doesnt make sense, why not keep the movie entirely in this "realistic" version and keep the pixel stuff away. Because the realistic stuff is what works, the camera-movement, how the weapons/hands swipe across the screen and all those things, they are the things that work. The other thing that works well is the sound-design, its actually pretty good and very fitting. Turn a few knobs and i think this could actually be a fun experience, but like this its a bit pitiful, still worth a watch, if only to see what can go wrong with this simple premisse.

    I started watching this film, I managed to survive 15 minutes before I realised I could never get this time back.

    To say this Movie is absolutely dreadful is to understate it.

    Looks like it was shot on an iPhone by people with nothing else to do. The plot and storyline obviously borrowed from a mix of early First Person shooter and mixed with an appalling zombie scenario.

    The acting as particularly bad and the "Special" effects could have been done better using any of the free apps for your smart phone.

    If you have 80 minutes to waste, go play a game of rugby and leave this alone.

    While I understand that directors have to start somewhere, this is certainly not the place. I have seen better videos from 13 year olds as part of a school project.
