Review of Nirvana

Nirvana (1997)
6/10
Nifty B-movie, but a bit shallow
17 August 2010
This little movie which flirts with the idea virtual reality gaming is a delight to look at but has an underwritten script. I would never expect anything intelligent or original from a B-movie, but Nirvana was neat. While there is certainly room for more dimension on the pages, everything in the frame, is of perfect dimension (or quality). This film has a colourful portrayal of the future, which plays with several different kinds of computer graphics, not to mention some other good quirks, like talking houses, alarms, and a computer game character who gains self awareness and has the ability to talk to his player. It's all fun and delightful. the dubbing is occasionally distracting, but I guess that depends on the manufacturer of the DVD copy. I just felt that there was a bit more room for story. The energetic climax, seems to zip by too quickly and the movie ends on a somewhat flimsy note. I think I can say I enjoyed this movie for what it was, It just needs more.
