Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

tasospoursanidis EXistenZ is the classic 1999 pre millennium era movie. Right after seeing the description and pictures about it I felt so nostalgic, I sort of knew it was going to be at least great. This was my introduction to David Cronenberg, a rather eccentric, weird but also unique writer and director. The movie doesn't have a steady course, it can go from slow to fast at any minute. And you will be confused through the whole duration of it. The sense of a dark, hypnotic and ritualistic atmosphere in things is great. The main factor that made me love it is Isolation and the sense of a small world.Cronenberg's unique looking pods imply that it's more than a game due to the fact that they're made out of flesh and are also living organisms. eXistenZ is an idea, an imperceptible feeling, a dream. An idea of leaving the boring, pointless and trivial world and entering in a world which you can be the master. Characteristically as in real life there are characters which exist just because they exist, they are part of a system, having a specific course into the game and being just pawns of your direction. There is a moment in the movie where Jude Law's character is wondering what's the point of the game if there are no missions, which indicates that he's far from understanding it. But as the "game" progresses he enjoys the thrill more and more. And that's what it is about. The thrill that you are free to do anything you want besides the dangers of reality. You can get lost in it pretty easily though. A very important moment in the movie is when Jennifer's character kills Ian Holm's character saying he was just a game character and Jude Law's character is wondering if it's reality or game. This indicated that you can lose the sense of reality vs game fairly easy, but you don't care about it because you want to feel the game at its full purpose. As we saw, Jennifer's character was highly euphoric everytime she was in the game, and rather bored in reality. It's the idea of living in your own tiny world and the game progresses depending on your character and personality.The movie has a huge sense of metaphoric feelings and messages about life, how we see life, how we want our life to be, how our choices define our characters, how we're searching for meaning in our lives and how we can be lost between a virtual and the real world. One could argue that the virtual world is fake, but what if real life is so pointless that feels fake and the virtual world feels even more real than reality is? I'll leave you wondering with that question..A really crazy trip and an all time favorite movie that is really underrated.

Jithin K Mohan Weird but essential sci-fi body horror. Playing with themes of reality, sexual and otherwise freewill etc it's a very weird watch where the plot twists are a shock and a relief at the same time, again in a very weird way. I think when Christopher Nolan said his first inspiration for Inception came from The Matrix he really meant this film. Now that I think about it I believe I too have a phobia about things penetrating my body.

robotovictor (it may content spoilers) I expected much after saw the ratings and the cast but it turned out that this one essentially marked the end of the scriptwriters era while the post-matrix effects era hasn't yet started. Had at least the latter started it would save the film partially at least luring into it the die-hard sci-fi fans who don't care about any script.The thing is here we have gradually growing expectation for something big to pop up to grab the big picture... only it turns out there is certainly nothing big about it, except for the greasy playing devices looking like baby aliens. Yes, they are big time in the movie, perhaps half of it. The thing is the famous director drove some big actors in the field and focus solely on super close camera view to the characters, remember no real effects, only the good old sleazy creatures form 'The Thing'... This Focus along with much more measured characters is integral part of most of the parodies. But Existenz is not that. Nothing like 'Edward The Scissor Hands' or the Terry Gilliam staff. I tried to view it as that when i kept stopping and starting it time and times again only to discover more and more fine actors like William Defoe and Ian Holm playing small parts superbly realizing they did so only because of the short period of time in that smaller-than-it's-cast-movie. Contrary to their and leader female character's (Lee) ecstatic approach, Jude Law really managed to immerse in the whole story and look realistic. He did that by giving an outstandingly confused meta-hero performance even for his stonecold-blooded standards thanks of course to the real actor's confusion with that script. The Brit actually earned the rate of 2 i gave to that poor movie i couldn't finish after several attempts.

Jessica Friedman This is possibly one of the best movies I've seen. Ever. It is incredibly clever how everything is set out in terms of storyline that keeps you always guessing about what's going to happen next and you are so unsuspecting of the final outcome. Great cast. Great appearance, and most importantly, great storyline. Jude Law, for me stands out the most. This being one of his earlier roles, he still shines through, even sporting an American accent. Great supporting roles from Willem Dafoe and Christopher Eccleston who play minor but equally entertaining parts. The creativity that went into this movie is nothing short of spectacular. Overall great movie that should be seen by all.
