Taking inspiration from classic 80s arcade games, Pixels sees Adam Sandler leading a band of misfits against invading aliens. The story centres on a group of mysterious and powerful aliens who misinterpret video feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war.
In retaliation, they attack the Earth – in the form of video games. Force on the offensive, President Cooper (Kevin James) must call on his childhood best friends, whom he used to save the planet (in arcade games) with, to save the planet for real.
Directed by Chris Columbus, this sci-fi comedy also stars Michelle Monaghan, Peter Dinklage and Josh Gad and a tonne of cameos from beloved classic video game characters as well.
Catch the premiere of Pixels on Saturday, July 16 at 9pm on HBO / HBO HD (Astro Ch 411 / 431) in both English and Bahasa Malaysia.
