Science Fiction Movies that are Hard to Watch

Pixels


Sony Pictures

2015’s Pixels follows gamers being asked to defend the world from various video game characters. Futurama fans noticed the trailer followed the same plot as the episode “Anthology of Interest II.” The 2002 episode finds the world as a video game. After Donkey Kong defeats Richard Nixon, Fry has to defend the area with his video game knowledge. Critics labeled it a cheaply done version of The Lego Movie, which was a box office smash.
