Right off the bat this movie is pretty outdated. But they were working with what they had at the time and you can tell the digital effects would have been stronger if it were made even just a few years later. That being said, it is a very interesting watch. It’s reflective of what people always imagined the future would be with virtual reality. We always knew it would be a thing, we just didn’t know what form it would take. This film takes that idea a step further and asks what if virtual reality could get inside your head and change who you are. It felt like a long episode of outer limits which I really appreciated. It’s also acted pretty well. There aren’t a lot of movies that I would argue should be remade, but I think this one deserves a strong remake.
