    1996, folgorazione ... Jimi da allora è il mio alter ego. Film italiano ambizioso, con pochi mezzi, che mi fa amare ancora di più Salvatores. A mio avviso presenta tematiche che anticipano The Matrix.

    One of the best cyberpunk movies I've ever seen

    Surprisingly good! It's a cyberpunk story without the Gibson terminology. It reminded me of Johnny Mnemonic, but certainly not to the point of being unoriginal. I was pretty impressed!

    Cheap and naïve sci-fi setting with shallow spiritual undertones and cod philosophy. The idea of a virus giving consciousness to a character in a video-game is complete nonsense and destroys suspension of disbelief, along with the rest of the cyberbabble. And, with the moustache,...( read more) the Italian guy looks conveniently similar to the main character of another game... oh... 'Nirvana' is actually 'Mario Bros!' How embarrassing!

    The Movie is like a Video Game, the difference is that you arent the Player "controller" He sympathist the Character in the Video game is really Familiar to me. There are some scenes I would say it was abit over done with those High Tech shitt, but the rest was good. I had as...( read more)ked a friend once about this Movie and he said I wasnt missing anything at all. He was right.
    I caught it on TV. Kind of killing time Movie. Thats all.
