A virtual reality game is created which draws upon the ideas of the players. 12 people hook up to a game and then...things happen and you don't know what is real or what is part of the game. Players lose themselves and can't tell. Excellent SF movie for the mind. I can't believe I haven't seen this one before now. Picked it up for $5.00 as part of the "10 Movie Sci-Fi Pack."
'Sentiment: Negative âšī¸'
The plot and the general idea of the film is very good. The design of the biomechanical devices and their interaction with the characters is great.Unfortunately the script is very slow and static. It lacks the explosiveness of video games plots. The performances were flat and unconvincing, so much so that they bore the movie. The female lead is often unnecessarily sexualized and not always very successfully.It could have been a really good movie, but it falls far short of the sci-fi movie average of its time.
