Underrated gem in need of DVD treatment..., 10 April 2005
10/10
Author: Michael Rook from A state of Insanity, Florida

Sure it's a B-Movie... all Full Moon Pictures are. Sure there's a rough spot of two.. which are victims of bad editing. It's actually a great movie, who's concepts predate big budget flicks like Virtuosity and The Matrix.

Enter Arcade... the latest in virtual reality gaming. A living game which challenges it's players to win, or become one with the game itself.

While it's effects are not the best, they are impressive for it's day... and budget. The cast is equally impressive, with some rather impressive standout performances.

If you can track down a copy, watch it with an open mind.. as you must with all Full Moon movies... and you'll be pleasantly surprised. As the byline reads, "Kiss reality goodbye..."
