In the end, every movie on this list is better than the majority of movies based on actual game titles. Some of the movies on this list are funny, some have heart and some build strong video game worlds, but Free Guy does all of the above, and also includes a hilarious Chris Evans cameo.Ī couple of the movies on this list have already spawned sequels, and the word is Free Guy might get one too, so we certainly haven't seen the end of movies set inside video games. It's not just a great video game movie, it's a great movie, period.
It has great video game-based jokes and references, but there's no requirement that you understand any of it as the story works regardless. Free Guy follows Guy, played by Ryan Reynolds, who is an NPC inside a video game who begins to grow and evolve on his own. The newest movie to be set largely inside a video game is, almost certainly, the best.
