Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
fizzgig-94296 I just watched this film today for the first time, nearly 20 years after it was made. It is a very confusing story line, but cool characters and excellent background music. It reminded me of a whole chain of other excellent films that could have been inspired by this one even though it wasn't clear exactly what was going on all of the time. My view is that it was the first inspiration for a reality world in the matrix using that description, but had a groundhog day feel to it and also a dark city feel to it, as we tried to solve the mystery of the breach of the matrix. In my view the story also has a hint of the looper in that the main character closes his own loop. The young girl getting caught in the matrix explains how he broke the breach the first time, as she entered from the street and so it showed that it was possible for the prison to be breached. So many interpretations of the story can be made, but my interpretation is that he may have put his wife there himself knowing that the mind essence doesn't die in the prison, but persists and changes form as they show the goons don't die when they are killed. Maybe he intended to live forever in the matrix with his beloved as it was better than the existing world? From the outside the breach is fixed but maybe he has the final revenge? Because it is so confusing it is almost impossible to discuss this film without some kind of interpretation spoiler but would be curious to know if anyone else enjoyed this film as I did!
Enigma-I A few years ago I had an opportunity to talk to Claire Stansfield about this film. I said that I was confused about the plot and hoped she could explain it to me. She said that she was also confused, and hoped that someone would explain it to her as well. We both agreed that the film's plot made absolutely no sense and left it at that.Perhaps this was someone's attempt to fill in the prison back story of Demolition Man (remember the VR deep freeze in that one?). The Sci-Fi premise of a VR prison has plenty of merit (c.f. The Matrix), but this movie lacked any semblance of credibility or even of continuity.In any case, this movie is one to miss unless you are a die-hard fan of one of the actors involved. Even so, prepare to be disappointed. I was.
Claudio Carvalho When I saw the name of Julie Benz on the cover of this VHS, I have decided to see the movie since I am a great fan of her character Darla, in Angel series. Further, she has one of the most beautiful faces of the cinema industry. However, this movie is such a mess, that is almost impossible to understand the plot and write a summary of the story. The intention of this confused screenplay might be a noir version of `The Matrix', but it never works. The characters are not well developed and it is almost impossible to the viewer understand their motives. For example, who is the girl showed in the end of the story? Why Julie Falcon dies many times? In the end, the unique worthwhile scene along the whole film is when Julie Benz is showed naked, unfortunately with the presence of her husband Falcon. My vote is one.Title (Brazil): `Fuga Alucinante' (Hallucinated Escape')
FoolishWander This movie is one of, if not the absolute worst movies I have ever had the misfortune of seeing. I only rented it because I happen to like Julie Benz, but she couldn't save it for me. The plot is hopeless, and the acting is worse. The special effects are dated, so you really have no excuse for seeing this, unless you like to suffer.It doesn't even fall into the so bad it's good type movie.
