Production value was not the problem, it was more like the story and what they try to attend with this movie. It´s about a girl who founds an all womens esports team with a few non-professional gamers. At this point you can guess the whole plot already. At the beginning the´re really bad and then they rise and get better and all that stuff...Predictable. Screenwriting wasn´t any better, some dialogues are just cringe, some actions just not fitting. Feels like a B-movie, but not a good one. But I can see it that way, that the filmmakers were given the possibility to make movie, to get experience. Nobody can expect to be pro just in a minute. That´s why I am suprised with the production value, it´s not over the top, but still high for an amateur like movie.
Acting was ok, i guess they intended to overact a little.
The main reason, why this movie is not working out is that they don´t really have choosen a target group. I mean it is about gaming, you can make movie for gamers or you can try to get non-gamers, too. I guess they tried to get the whole audience, but it´s not working out. It´s difficult to get an whole audience, Free Guy would be a good example were it worked out, but this is an another level of filmmaking. If they just focused on gamers, they could´ve focused on a more advanced plot, built tension by using all what competitive gaming contains and not just building a rivaly between teams.
But in the end they missed the gamer audience as well as the non-gamers.
Still 3/10, because I like that they tried and they had the possibility to make this movie. If they learned from it and come up with more experience it was worth it.
