eXistenZ

Allegra Geller, uma líder mundial na criação de jogos, está a testar o seu novo jogo de realidade virtual, “eXistenZ”, com um grupo específico. Quando o teste é iniciado, ela é atacada por um assassino fanático que utiliza uma arma biológica bizarra. Ela foge com um jovem estagiário de marketing, Ted Pikul, que,repentinamente, é designado para ser seu guarda-costas. Infelizmente, o seu “pod”, um dispositivo orgânico de jogos, que contém a única cópia do programa do jogo “eXistenZ”, está danificado. Para inspecioná-lo, ela convence Ted a aceitar um portal de jogos no seu próprio corpo para que ele possa jogar o jogo com ela.
I will admit that I was torn here if I wanted to give this a 4 or a 5.
The movie is absolutely not perfect, and some of the editing is very confusing. The acting can be... weird for lack of a better word.
But I went with a 5 in the end because for some reason this movie really stuck with me. The themes are so great. The risks it takes. Some of the weird stuff (the gun for example). The ending. They are all so brilliant. It's a bit cheesy at times but that just makes the whole thing more geeky (and hence fitting for this). I also think the movie brings a lot of food for thoughts, especially after that ending.
I love this movie.
