The reviewers have different opinions, the acting is b-movie i agree there and i see its advertising for xbox a little but also giving a good impression howto handle the controller. i guessed the plot right, but it did keep me on the edge of my seat, esp since i recognised some real player roots like 23 and 1337 , my lappy got a small screen so i think the real players will find some more symbolics. ive rated it at 7 (think i saw one in the movie too) because its a nice movie and there is more in it then the average viewer sees. game on. llcasel

I watched this film after it being given as a gift, and thought it was great.

Being an online gamer myself I really appreciated the film as I believe it was meant to be seen.

Spoilers ahoy

After getting past the blatant wooden acting from the main protagonist the movie really takes off when it introduces the pro- gamers.

OK the ending with the whole wife twist was so obvious and unnecessary, and the CGI was way below average. But I had a right blast watching it, identifying all the gaming references and relating to the gamers.

All this movie needs is for some big company to take the story and make it more Hollywoodized. Add top of the line CGI and you could be onto a real winner.

Don't listen to all the other reviews here slating the film, just give it a go if the idea takes your fancy.

THIS IS GREAT FUN! Not too good actors. Sometimes ( in the beginning) you feel that they are reading directly from the manuscript. They are "stiff" as zombies! And sometimes I was wondering if the director had a day off... The plot is OK. This COULD have been a great one with real players and real directors. Could have been a good SF in fact now that we have "good" tools to make it.... But the mix of "real" and VR? Great for relaxing! Okay -I guess X-Box (Microsoft) payed for the whole shabang, but still! Loved it! :) Maybe a little violent for kids. But as a time killer? Have fun even though it's kind of old. ;)To end this outburst: This is not a great movie. This is not even a "good" movie. This is totally relaxing. Just bare with the first 15 minutes and you will either fall asleep or enjoy. :)
