Easy to follow, but hard to swallow

It's stylish, has a pretty unique concept and solid pacing, so it keeps you engaged throughout. However, you need to stretch your willing suspension of disbelief wide enough to drive a truck through, since many of the plot points are maddeningly unrealistic, even by sci-fi standards. Most of the characters are dislikeable, and some of the performances felt a little stiff, but overall there weren't too many shortcomings due to the lack of budget. It's an entertaining enough film if you don't ask too much of it.

Slow burn

This was an interesting and surprising film that my husband selected for us to watch for our movie night. I'd never heard of it nor knew anything about it so had my doubts about if I would enjoy it.It started out slowly introducing the characters, their relationships and history but did so selectively before starting moving. I enjoyed taking a few short minutes getting familiar with the characters before jumping in to the plot.I would recommend this to anyone looking for a thoughtful and suspenseful movie .Despite the hew and cry of a couple posters here, I am quite real and have rated possibly hundreds of movies and television series but reviewed probably less than a dozen over the years. I don't fancy myself a professional reviewed or film critic, merely a woman who knows what she enjoys watching

Good film with a new angle

Really enjoyed this film due them taking a new look at VR. Teh acting is good although the final part does get a bit mad for my liking but hey ho it worked.Well worth watching.
