About GameCenter CX: The Movie - 1986 Mighty Bomb Jack
The story takes place in Japan in both 1986 and 2006. The 1986 storyline follows a gamer named Daisuke who wants to confess his feelings for Kumiko, a girl he likes — all while trying to reclaim his copy of the Famicom (NES) game Mighty Bomb Jack that he lent out. In 2006, the hapless game company manager Arino-kacho struggles to complete Mighty Bomb Jack in front of fans. The storylines of the boy who loves Famicom and the middle-aged man who loves Famicom eventually merge into one.
Directed by Masatoshi Kurakata, GameCenter CX: The Movie - 1986 Mighty Bomb Jack leans on a strong ensemble — Shinya Arino, Hajime Yoshi, Yuna Taira — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2014.
