Once you're into it, it won't leave you alone

Rating: 8/10 (12 June 2000)

I picked this up on tape, not expecting a whole lot of it, and for the first 20 minutes, I thought I was right. THe acting is REALLY lame in the beginning and the story doesn't seem to make any sence or progress in any way. However, the cast really seems to grow into the movie as the story unfolds. About halfway trough, I couldn't keep my eyes of the screen and I couldn't wait to see what this all would leed to.
(warning, mild spoiler ahead) There is some stuff to think about in here, but it's largely left to your own imagination. THe writers cut in a lot of psychological talk and a lot of conspiracy stuff. When you think about it longer, it doesn't make all to much sense and I think a lot of people think more behind the movie than there actually is. HOWEVER, in the movie it just works! And that's what makes this movie great! (apart form the first 20 minutes) everything works!

If you liked Existenz, you'll probably like this too. Don't watch if you're claustrophobic though! 8 outta 10!
