This is a movie about the future of interactive gaming. What's the next step from controlling virtual avatars?? Well, controlling avatar that are real humans. It's really an intersting concept, and a rather attractive one. It seems that a person can control another in this "virtual" world and do watever they one and not be punished for it. Cool Eh??
It seems to me that the future of ours may not be as cheerry as it once was. Degeneration seems to be the path we are wlking into. This is the 2nd movie I've seen that depicts the future and a rather degenerated world. You will notice the emphasis on sex more than anything else. Sex sells... So is porn the faster growing industry in the world now??
Anyway, about this movie. Gerard Butler plays a death row convict who took part in some sort of a lottery to gain his freedom. The catch is that anytime during this lottery he may die. As the story unfolds, it turns out that the mastermind behind the virtual reality, is once again the bad guy!!
I personally find it funny that in this movie, hackers are actually pretty lousy. So they were not the ones who save the day. It's more of bad guys hitting the self-destruct button in the end.
