eXistenZ (dvd)

I'm glad to have taken a quick peek at the trailer before I played the main feature itself: I quickly realised this was not a film to be watched during lunch and postponed my viewing.

With a safe 2 hour buffer after food I sat down to watch one of those twisted virtual reality movies that seems to have been all the rage in the dwindling 90s. If you appreciated The Thirteenth Floor, as I did, then you'll enjoy this is it reality encroaching on the game or the other way around? question.

If, on the other hand, the twists and turns of multiple realities has you reaching for Sky Sports and you're the slight bit queezy (don't order the special) then avoid.

It feels every bit the low budget cult-friendly flick of Cube with a Jude Law that looks and acts as though he's only just out of short trousers and Dr Who doing a double take-inducing American accent. Worth catching but only if you already like the genre.
