StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Madilyn Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
shuna-14122 This story is interesting story. Main character of this story is Geli. He is a elderly man. He plays chess alone. He plays one person double role. He plays 2 characters, a person timid with glasses, a person who is a bad face. The person timid with glasses plays white and the person who is bad face plays black. I think pieces of color represent their character. Black advances advantage of the game. Finally, White pretended painful to hold the heart, entice black and white upsets the chessboard. By this Black is lose. This is it playing one person Nasser industry. In the movie, he changes seats ,but switching of the screen is fast so, White and Black seems like being together.
disdressed12 this is another of animated short by Pixar.i thought it was alright.it's kinda cute,but maybe a bit redundant.the story is really simple,about an old man and a chess game.i didn't find it all that funny,but it was mildly amusing.of course,i had just previously watched Lifted(another Pixar short)which i thought was excellent,so maybe that raised my expectation for this one.still,it's a good little film,(just under 5 minutes)with excellent animation,as always.i did really like the ending.it thought that was kinda neat.Pixar has a collection of animated shorts(13,i believe)on DVD,if you wanna see more of them.anyway,for me,Geri's Game is a solid 7/10
emasterslake This short film was made in 1997 then later shown with A Bug's Life back in 1998.It's a simple story for a Pixar short. It involves Geri an old man playing chess by himself. It keeps cutting from left to the right that it actually makes you believe he's playing with another guy who's actually just him.The animation is well done. Geri does look like an old man with the detail of the skin and the way he walks and acts.All Pixar fans will like this short as well as many other ones like Luxo Jr., Tin Toy, etc.
fritskibbeling I discovered Geri's game on the pixar website and it is most definitely the most beautiful animated short I have ever seen. Both the story and animations are of extraordinary quality. And also the editing is outstanding; no wonder they received the 1997 Oscar!I you haven't seen it yet go and check it out at pixar.com, there you can also find lot's of other short films. Luxo jr. for instance is very nice too, and features the jumping creature that is in their logo.It is a pity that films of this narrative and visual quality are very rare. but luckily we have pixar.
