Isn't anyone else concerned about that "no limits" idea?

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2000)

This movie came highly recommended, and it was indeed very suspenseful and engrossing.The special effects were spectacular and novel and the acting quite good. The actors were sleek, cool, and good-looking in the extreme. As others have noted, the plot contained a number of serious holes for the scientifically-minded, but nevertheless, the idea of what it could be like to have our wet-ware hardwired to a nearly infinitely-powered reality simulation IS intriguing and fun. The violence was quite sanitized--hardly any gore, and no sex at all; no immodest clothing to speak of, yet very stylish and cool--I liked that. However, I really think that the theme--that if we could only cast aside all these mind-squeezing limits and influences, like the CHURCH, government, etc, then we could conquer EVIL (identified as technology--duh) and become all powerful messianic supermen if we a) believe in ourselves and b) have the love of a good woman--give me a break. As a mother, I roll my eyes at that! Creative freedom within limits--that's a better, healthier idea. 8/10
