Movie Reviews of eXistenZ
Movie Review: Not your average American geek movie
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're looking at this because you liked The Matrix, look elsewhere, friend. This is not a stylized Hollywood product with glitzy action scenes that'll make you go "Whoa!" or "Kewl!". Think Sartre, not Kung-fu. The SF setting is one of the most subtle and original I've seen in years, the creations are as good as any in Naked Lunch (love the gristle gun), and the photography is excellent. The movie is enigmatic and rewards multiple viewings. Lost Highway I can explain to you; eXistenZ I cannot. I love this movie, but it's not for the fanboy crowd.Movie Review: Phenomenal film, despite the director...
Summary: 5 Stars
The film has a plot that is much more accessible than most others by Cronenberg. I was hesitant to watch this film after Crash, which I herald as one of the most painful films to watch--ever. This movie incorporates elements of action with suspense, all the while requiring you to think about the events that were transpiring. You begin to wonder yourself, where the two leads began the game, and how their actions (crimes) affected them [they themselves were unsure at points in the movie]. It was great and grows more interesting with subsequent viewings.Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
The best movie of its kind. This movie has actual thought behind its plot, the people putting down this movie dont or cant stand to think that this movie confused them. Truthfully this movie is not confusing at all. The effects were not top notch but for what the movie is were perfect for the plot. The story is a refreshing breath from the matrix and thirteenth floor(both very good movies in there own right!) Definetly see this movie and form your own opinion but dont(and I mean this about all films too) go on other peoples opinionsMovie Review: Gooey, Ooowhee, Slimy Virtual Ride.
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, "The Matrix" was getting all the computer/virtual reality/gaming attention from the movie fans. Cronenberg's "eXistenZ" is a different kinda tech movie that'll make you go--"Whaat? " or "Eeeeeww" with it's visuals and it's plot twists. See it and put it along side your copy of "The Matrix". And get lost in the fantasy and reality motif of these two computer games on film. It is right up ol' Zen's alley, and I think you'll enjoy it, too.Movie Review: go back to your ST convention and shut up.
Summary: 5 Stars
Cronenberg returns to his more visceral style in the "vein" of videodrome and scanners and yet still manages to keep some of the refinement of crash here. The contrast between technology, biology, and the very natural wooded setting is ingenious. Cronenberg is a a treasure to science fiction because he gives the genre some often lacking intellectual meat. If its predictable formulaic hero epics your looking for your in the wrong place. LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH!
