Basically if you liked "The Matrix", "Diva" and "Subway" you will love this movie which transfers the cyberpunk visions of William Gibson, Bruce Sterling et al to the screen in as accomplished a way as Blade Runner foreshadowed those same authors. Even though the budget was obviously not huge the production manages to feel "big" in the way it gives you a real feeling that you are seeing a full environment/world and not just a bunch of back-lots and interiors.
The way that Lambert as Jimi, computer games designer, interacts with his cyber-creation Solo is very funny and at times quite touching as he comes to realise he has a responsibility toward this digital creation which leads to a clever co-joining of the "real" and digital world of the computer game.
It is a movie that asks some interesting questions about what it is that we create inside a computer and whether it has any consciousness, rights or artificial intelligence of it's own - quite relevant in these increasingly virtual times.
Throw in a fantastic soundtrack and you have one of the best VR movies ever (not a large genre, but growing) which would easily hold it's own in a double bill with "The Matrix".
SEE IT - If you can find it!!!
