Good? Yes. Original? Not very much

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2010)

Just saw the movie yesterday and enjoyed it very much. In a world where most people leave their brains outside the cinema, and come to the cinema to escape - this movie is making them use their heads again. The movie was very good, and it felt like i could watch 2 more hours of it without feeling how time passes.
BUT, the general idea isn't that original, and has been done before, to some extent. I'm talking about David Cronenberg's "eXistenZ" from 1999. On the whole, i think that there's a flood of movies in the last decade that deal with the question of how do we know if reality is really real and how can we tell the difference ("Matrix", "eXitenZ", "Vanilla Sky" and many others).
Another good thing is that this is the one movie you can't spoil to others even if you wanted to. If you'll tell someone the end - he won't understand. And if you'll try explaining how it got there - you'll make a fool out of yourselves while trying...
