Christian Review

Rating: 4/10 (5 April 2018)

I would keep kids away from this movie because...
To pay to see this movie is like paying to see a kid play a video game...
Gender bender theory theme thrown about (albeit subtle) as players can assume a different Avatar sex personality and thus provides the Utopia environment for falling in love with the 'real' you... not the 'projected' you, given that everyone knows that Avatars are not necessarily the sex of the 'unknown' user... Liberal-progressive-utopia.
Lesbian reference... The 'black' girl of the movie is indirectly declared lesbian, as she doesn't say no to the 'naked Shinning lady', but 'goes with it'... however her Avatar happens to be a mean, masculine, tough-looking dude... Denial is in vogue?
The movie kind of makes the point that 'reality' is better than V.R. fantasy...
However they settle for preaching that 2 days of reality a week is a healthy or positive habit???
The good points of the movie are...
Lots of reference to 80s-90s movies and games... if you grew up on those years or know about the history of the video games, you may enjoy to think back about them video games (Atari, Coleco, Adams, Commodore, etc.) Also makes reference to a few old movies... nothing major... action scenes are ok... nothing breathtaking... it may pass as an action movie...not a blockbuster...
Overall I was disappointed, I was expecting a Spielberg 'mind-blowing' experience, instead we get a preachy, gender-bender positive reinforcement, liberal utopia preaching movie... barf!!!!!
