I wanted to love this movie. It had a great concept that is right up my alley. I love sci-fi and I am very concerned about the ways in which technology is being perverted to control, manipulate and exploit people. The social dynamics that feed into that phenomenon are also of great interest to me.
This film had a real opportunity to shine a light on the issues and in some ways it did, but sadly it all happened in the context of a laughably bad story that was full of plot holes and some of the worst acting I've seen in a long time.
Normally I could overlook weak acting and a few badly written lines of dialogue, but this film absolutely dripped with wooden, sophomoric cheesiness to the degree that it was difficult to get through because it keeps pulling the viewer out of the story. A real shame.
Worth wading through if you are interested in the issues it covers, but if you're looking for a good film then you might want to look elsewhere.
