This is a real movie plot greenlit by Sony. NASA sends a time capsule to space with tokens to represent our culture. Aliens discover said capsule and, instead of taking it as a gesture peace, use our '80s video game characters to attack Earth. Who would star in such an obvious brick? Adam Sandler, of course. 

The trailer for Pixels gives us a glimpse into the alien invasion we never expected (or wanted). Real-life Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and other pixilated video game characters wreak havoc on our planet, and our only saviors are Sandler, Michelle Monaghan, Kevin James, and Peter Dinklage. Their secret weapon against the big, bad Pac-Man from Space is a fleet of Mini Coopers. 

Add yet another miss to Sandler's stat line. 

Pixels hits theaters July 24.
