Film Summary CCLXV (The Last of Us)

This might be the lamest movie that's ever been. Now I know a few people out there want to tell me; But this is a video game you're supposed to play it.
Well if I actually saw any game play I might agree with you.

So there's an Internet show called ''Previously recorded''. Hosted by the third and fourth bananas of redlettermedia. Mostly it's a pretty entertaining show. Jack Packard and Rich Evans talk about various things and play random games. But in this particular play through there is no Jack , there was only Rich. And a bunch of people told him to play this game called 'The Last of Us'. So he does (begrudgingly). What we get is an 8 hour long stream of a man playing a video game he doesn't like.

Well I say playing despite the fact the game play is very limited.

It's an incredibly generic Zombie Survival Story, that wasn't good enough to make it in Hollywood. We all know that when you can't make it in Hollywood you go to video gaming where the quality of Storytelling is so low that games like this can be green-lit with little to no effort.

It involves some boring bearded man trying to survive the original outbreak of the zombies. He loses his daughter at some point has to go on living his miserable life. It cuts to 8 years later where he meets a different girl and decides to adopt her. And the two of them (I suppose) are going to survive in this new world.
I know nothing else about the story because I fell asleep about 2 hours in*. I wake up and it's almost at the 7 hour mark. Rich Evans is still playing this damn game and very unhappy about it. His character gets grabbed by a random biker guy and his face gets shoved into glass. Instead of restarting the game Rich Evans proclaims; ''Oh look my character is dead. I guess I have to stop playing now.''

And before anyone starts on me, I play through the entirety of Metal Gear Solid 4. That game (which I also call a movie) had a ridiculous over-the-top zany story. But at least it was interesting, at least I wanted to keep playing.

*I fell asleep because of the bad game. Not because of Rich Evans. That man is a trooper, somehow he played countless hours of what had to be the most boring game in the world. To Put it in perspective when I fell asleep the screen was on some crappy looking Brown town with the bearded man walking around. When I woke up 6 hours later the scenery was exactly the same.
