Having suffered from watching The Adam Project I decided however to give this one a chance, but it seems Reynolds' presence is now the indicator of a bad popcorn movie.

To be clear when I watch a film I don't need everytime to be vastly intimidated by a profound depth or a timeless message. But come on - does it always have to be such a mindless mess? The plot is weak and serves no purpose except for enabling the characters to run wildly across ridiculous reality and Reynolds' natural comedic skills don't save this movie from being boring mixture of flashing scenes. Whoever writes in their reviews there's "a thought" here likely needs to leave their digital cave and meet some real life out there.

Virtual reality, when used properly, gives a movie maker almost infinite possibilities, but here the virtual potential was wasted and if you liked Player One, this movie is light years behind Spielberg's film.

My rating: 4/10 - Tiresome and flawed. Watchable but mostly only for fans of the genre.

Not recommended.
