Synopsis:

From IMDb: “An overgrown nerd who serves as Grand Master of a fantasy board game finds his role as leader of the misfits put into jeopardy when a new initiate enters the group.”

Poster: B / C-

Review: A more inventive and symbolically relevant design than the second, showcasing how the role-playing aspects of the film threaten to overcome the simple GM.

A geek infusion that tries to evoke countless similarly themed, fantasy and sci-fi-fantasy design elements but ultimately comes off as showy and idiotic.

Trailer: D+

Review: Limited production values and admittedly uncharismatic characters, I have a hard time believing that even role-playing geeks would find anything remotely compelling in the film’s narrative.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
