Based on the graphic novel series
by Bryan Lee O’Malley, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World shows a geek in Toronto
fighting for the heart of a girl. Scott (Michael Cera) is the bass player in a
local band and he loves his online world whether it is video games or illegal
downloads. Scott is no normal geek, who usually repels girls but seems to have
a history of relationships with hot chicks. When Scott meets the girl of his
dreams he is told that to be with her and win her heart he must defeat her
seven evil ex-boyfriends (who all seem to have super powers- here comes the
geekiness). These scenes of Scott facing the evil exes are not out of your
everyday reality but are choreographed and stylised to be like a video game,
unreal and impossible in reality. The film follows a videogame narrative with
gaming levels and with the unusual set of scenes the film takes you into an
alternative universe managed by the geekiest yet for some reason hot teenager.
The film can relate to anyone who is struggling within their own love life and
can be a delightful escape from the norm of teenage existence.
