User Reviews

Dreadful

Slow, unoriginal, physically impossible and all that typical nonsense that drives anyone with standards to hate a movie they just watched. I am only posting a review because it's so frequent a movie that is barely even watchable but has ample distribution gets these glowing reviews posted by scabs paid to perpetrate them on the unsuspecting consumers who then waste their money.

It's the near future where hair can block RF signals, virtual reality is wireless directly linking to the brain and for some reason film makers still try to convince you a 120 pound woman can fight a 240 pound man that is mostly muscle. It was like watching an 8 year old girl put up her fists when the poor dears are still fixated on competing with the boys for toughest in their class.

The virtual world is equally as mediocre. They could have given us a dozen cutaways into the VR world with elaborate animations, combat scenes, character interactions and even Easter egg revelations but they just didn't bother.

The story is slow, the characters are boring and this is without a doubt a low budget B-movie made with expensive cameras, filming techniques and editing methods. Outside of that it's just nothing I would expect anyone over the age of 13 to find entertaining or interesting. It's a movie for preteens that should have focused on their target audience but tried way too hard to target a teen and adult audience. If you value your time, invest it into something else.

This is another movie made to rip people off and launch the careers of actors who have already been chosen to be the new hipsters for their limited runs which tend to be about 5 years. I expect a couple of these actors to magically appear in obnoxious, modular world hipster flicks at the theaters that seem unlikely considering they first starred in this polished turd.
