It’s took me awhile to watch this film, didn’t come cross it in 1999 thought. Another film trying to compete with another film that came out same year and that’s Matrix and definitely not close to be on level with Matrix. It was alright, felt it was trying too hard to be good and definitely not well made and rushed with nothing much happening and the game system badly done and the cast were good but they acting for their role wasn’t and felt cheap but the ending twist was very surprising and i liked it but could of been even better if the build up to it was better.

This movie was one big Plumbus except they forgot to smooth out the dingle pop with a bunch of shleem!

Starts off great, but then it just becomes a mess, and you get absolutely no sense of what the world is like.

>*"I have a terrible urge to port into it."* It's Cronenberg alright, it's weird, it's gross and everything is sexual. The concept isn't original by any means but the execution is alright. I found it highly captivating for some reason, I think it's the constant weirdness, Jennifer Jason Leigh's character which is mysterious and somewhat magnetising, and the way that it slowly unravels the mystery about the game. That whole first half you're just anticipating the game, waiting for them to finally show it. I wish the game was better in terms of visuals at least because this whole movie is visually forgettable and bland. The game was also boring to me, weird direction within the game. The sci-fi tech is the most interesting aspect, made me think of *Crimes of the Future*. Kinda mixed on the acting. Allegra and Ted are two completely different characters that make interesting character dynamics. A ridiculous amount of twists in the third act, mostly all predictable but at least something was finally happening.

Very awkward, I don’t entirely get what he’s trying to do with this one. I get the feeling Cronenberg has never played a videogame before, because while his eccentric depiction of virtual reality is fun to an extent, it doesn’t seem very well studied (even for something made in ‘99). Some of More

Free will is obviously not a big factor in this little world of ours.

Hee, yet another David Cronenberg picture that divides opinions, not just among the casual film watchers, but also his most ardent fans.

Plot is a little nutty in actuality, as it finds Jennifer Jason Leigh as the world's mo More

I'm sorry but this low budget disaster got zero interest from me. The props were horrid. The story was ridiculous; really, it was just so "stupid". Maybe I should be using bigger words, but this movie was just awful in every way.
I rarely give up on a movie; I feel like someone shouldn't give a More
