In order to keep space travelers safe and sane on long trips across the stars, a cutting-edge computer-brain interface must be created. Mike, the programmer, and Eric, a neurochemist, begin to work on the most sophisticated virtual reality system ever conceived.
However, they begin to argue about how to create that program and Mike's muse gets trapped inside the program. Now, he must go through multiple infinite worlds to find her, places where reality does not always work. Can he bring reality back and save his world?
Made in Windsor, Ontario by Michael Stasko and Eric Schiller, who wrote, directed, produced and starred in this film, this is a meditation on the effects of manipulating reality. It's definitely not a movie you can watch as background noise and must be paid attention to.
The budget is low while the concept is high. While it has a slow start, once those big ideas kick in, you'll forgive its inexpensive origins and savor the big thinking. Or you'll think it's completely ridiculous claptrap. I belong to the former camp, but as I've known of films, your mileage may vary.

Interesting
It will come back to you
This is about creating cybersleep for long distance space travel. They manipulate time while in sleep. They also talk about using it for the prison system. You live in a computer generated reality of your own making, similar to the Matrix but not a fraction of entertaing. The characters were not great and you never knew what was real and what wasn't which makes for a nice twist. Not for casual science fiction fans.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
Pure Scifi geek stuff
This film is all about the concepts. Very easy to get lost in it, as I did many times. But some of the concepts in this film eventually come to the surface and would make for a great book.
