Details

The world is a bleak desolate place where the people live in elevated cities. As the ground is uninhabitable, the citizens spend most of their lives wasting their time in virtual reality. Carver is a dream-breaker whose job is to enter the world of VR and fix what is wrong. And what is wrong is that his gal pal Dinah has been murdered in VR which should not be possible. But Carver soon finds that Dinah has constructed a transducer which allows people to enter VR without other equipment, but creates a rift. That rift causes people to enter VR, but also allows the creatures from the game to enter the real world.

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
ablebravo The biggest mistake the film makers made with this film is they actually FINISHED it. And the biggest mistake the TV network (whoever it was) made by buying this movie was that they actually BOUGHT it and AIRED it! This is so bad the film should be stripped from the reels and used to tow out cars stuck in the snow.
Shabadoo-2 In a desolate future, people play VR games to escape their crappy reality. A totally lame attempt at a Phillip K. Dick kind of story showcases a pool of poor talent in all arenas.Bad acting, bad script, bad effects, bad direction, bad cinematography.. And not in a "so bad it's good" way, either--this movie is so awful I cringed through the whole thing.Did MST3K ever do this one? It's even worse than "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank."
L_Miller Imagine if your Quake game started spewing out monsters in the real world who would like nothing more than to kick your ashes all over the floor.In a bleak future (is there any other kind in sci-fi?) humanity escapes from encroaching eco-doom in a game called the Afterlife. The inventor of the game finds a way to bridge the gulf between the virtual game world and the real world, but is brutally murdered soon after. A dreamcop (responsible for making sure everyone plays this game) investigates and discovers that the bridge is turning into a floodgate for all the evil existing as opponents in the game to flood into reality.Sounds crappy, but this is a lot better than you would think. Michael Pare is an average actor who has a real talent for picking unusually interesting scripts: "Streets of Fire", "Moon 49", etc. Check this one out if you get a chance.
Kate-83 Sure, there were things that this movie lacked, but on the whole it delivered on what it promised. It was a fast-paced action movie, that was ahead of its time (released years ahead of The Matrix and EXistenZ )There are some very competent performances (Peter Wylde, and Tara Maria Manuel), and some that fell short (Michael Pare), but on the whole this movie was entertaining and without pretensions. Could this be the grandfather of virtual reality movies?
