Movie Reviews of eXistenZ
Movie Review: wait a minute is this a game? or is this reality?
Summary: 5 Stars
Your perception may be altered by this science fiction harbinger of things to come by David Cronenberg.. Continuing in the same vein of films like 'Videodrome' and 'Scanners' Cronenberg examines the effects of scientific progress and the fate of mankind.. It is so often the goal of game technicians, movie makers, and perhaps even the distributors of mind altering substances to create an alternate universe.. the nightmare of such endeavors is that it will lead to absolute confusion.. seperation from self.. it is something appealing yet terrifying.. to lose touch with reality.. this is what makes eXistenZ such an engaging thriller - one of the most thought provoking movies you will ever see.Movie Review: Cronenberg is a genius
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like Naked Lunch or any of Cronenbergs recent films you will probably like this. Lots of organic sexuality in the shape of a game pod controller, and a sort of anus looking bio port in which the characters plug in to play the game.The surreal salamander slaughter house segment is superb, there is a skeletal pistol that shoots human teeth, which Jude Law eats the flesh off before finding out it is the gun. I like the whole game idea, It's a great concept. If you just have to have everthing spelled out for you in a film, with a happy rational ending, then this movie is NOT for you, but if you like the work of Cronenberg, Juenet, Lynch, etc. you will enjoy this film.Movie Review: A fun movie
Summary: 5 Stars
The art of making cool movies has been forgotten. Here is one from Croneberg: a nifty story with a layered plot that you have to watch carefully and more than once. This movie presents a video game designer as an artiste and players as her loyal followers in a world that values facscimiles over reality. They are just more fun and liberating. The story manages to have us questioning reality and the idea of free will. The acting is pleasantly peculiar and un-American. The art design is nauseously original. The DVD is very good, giving us director and scpecial effects producer commentary as well as a look at the art used in the film.Movie Review: excelent movie, too bad i didnt see it earlier
Summary: 5 Stars
this movie was excellent. it went from one reality to the next with confusing but very interesting plot turns which make sense only after you continue watching. this isnt a movie for people who dont want to pay attention to the dialog or storyline, it requires some thought.the points which it raises are also very intresting. the question of not knowing which is true until your able to step out of what your in has been raised by many people but shown beautifully in this movie. if you liked this movie id recommend 'the user illusion' its a book, but excellent and explains some of the ideas in this movie in more detail.
Movie Review: Excellence in moviemaking!
Summary: 5 Stars
C'mon people...how can you not love this movie? A friend of mine recomended it to me after he bought it, so I borowed it from him..and was blown away! I had to have it, so bought it the next day. The plot was fun to follow, good acting (not quite excellent..but good!), and the idea is alot of fun! Original too. I'd compare this flick to Dark City alot easier than the Matrix. Though these guys aren't kidding..the DVD is pretty bare...too bad. Excellent movie-ignore most of these jackasses and at least rent it ;p You'll prolly like it.Btw, I ain't even a big Cronenberg fan..so you don't have to be one!
