Plot:
Computer scientist Hannon Fuller (Armin Mueller-Stahl) finds something extremely important. Knowing that he's marked for assassination, he leaves a message in the virtual reality world he's designed, ...( read more

Very cool sci-fi flick, although it got a bit predictable for me in the end probably because I've already seen quite a few similar films. Nevertheless, it's worth the watch especially for the mystery aspect, which was very well done.
I like the concept behind this movie of being a world inside of a world inside of a world. Really creative concept, just wish the acting was better. Of course the highlight of the movie for me is Vincent's charaacter, but that's because I love his work.
The Thirteenth Floor is a very different plot. A man is found dead whom created this virtual world that transports people back to the 1930's. The problem is there becomes different worlds and the people change throughout...a friend in one might be an enemy in another...very good twist and turns.
Great movie. Can't believe I have never heard of it before now. Overshadowed by The Matrix I guess. Love the thought that it could all just be a simulation inside a simulation.
I predicted everything in this movie... the "revalation" and the ending. Nonetheless its still very enjoyable and original.
I'm astonished I never heard about this before watching it. I guess it was shadowed by The Matrix and other movies of that sort which came out the same year.
Recommended.
This is by far one of the best thought provoking movies i have seen, virtual reality vs reality? what is real and what isnt, a simulation within a simulation. The story plot revolving around an evil computer software genius David who is able to download his conscience level into someone else and can manipulate their thoughts and actions whilst they dont remembr anything themselves and seem to be suffering bouts of amnesia. This is a great movie, a definate must see.
i never seen this movie eather. but i love scary movies even though i scared too watch then but....
What an interesting concept. This is Time Travel at it's best and worse. Never believing what you see...think... or feel is a bit disturbing.
The Cast is oddly very good. It is worth your while to see this film....
If you enjoy science fiction this might interest you. Virtual reality versus reality - and which is which? Time travel without leaving the present? Interesting and very well done.
The 90s was the years of the simulacron, but this movie is the best for me (ok, the book, Simulacron 3 is better, but books always are)
i watched this in visual culture. i thought it was really good considering its a movie i had really never heard of.
Generally a pretty solid SciFi flick. There are some interesting effects scenes and plot twists, and the characters do draw you into the film. Still, it seems to be lacking an indefinable something that makes it a truly great film. Perhaps the message is off?
My blog entry on a related subject.
I loved this, but then again I'm a computer scientist who works with AI and computer simulations of environments. So this movie is kind of a big fan letter from it to me.
Filme injusticado que caiu na "obscuridade" gracas ao sucesso de Matrix. Temas parecidos da nisso! Mas, muito bom.
Before THE MATRIX, there was this very good story... even if it gets a little full of itself at the end.
my buddy got me to watch this movie and all i can say is matrix before the matrix minus the fighting
I love this movie and think it's better then the Matrix, but that's just me. I like Craig Bierko and Gretchen Mol.
Exploring the theme of an alternate reality, this came out in the same year as The Matrix and eXistenZ, both much better films. The concept of the plot, while trying to be original, fails to do so and the twists and turns are very predictable. Bierko as lead man fails to capture his character's emotions and appears blank and boring. All comes together to give a very average, sunday-afternoon stay-at-home-movie sort of film.
i was young the first time i seen this!!! just found and bought it now(finally!)!!! and it was GREAT!!!! if you just follow the story and listen to what everyone says, you'll understand it. Its pretty much a creative sci-fi murder mystery. It just had the rotten luck of coming out the same time as the Matrix, which is why it did poorly when first released(cuz of the whole virtual world thingy, but it had a little different theory to it...).
Craig Bierko and Vincent D'Onofrio were excellent!!!
;D
but seriously.....are we really....real?
that tripped me the f**k out!

I fell in love with this movie a long time ago! Last night we decided to pull out some movies that my GF and my RM had not seen, and well this was a must. It will make you think about the life you live and the things you do!
Another film similar to this one came out at the same time (how's that for a confusing comment) and this film wasn't as good as the other... at least that's what I'm picking up with my hazy memory. It had a few good moments, but mostly it wasn't really worth it... Could have been done better than it was.
This one was a story within a story within a story and, as such, hard to follow most of the way through the movie. But excellent writing and attention to detail made it all seem almost plausible.
To say more would be a spoiler but if you're a fan of movies that make you think (like the Matrix) and wonder about the gauzey fabric of reality, you will LOVE this movie, as I do!
It also has a happy ending and an segueway for a sequal that never came to pass (at least not to my knowledge).
I think this is one of those movies that might be considered a cult classic. If it isn't it should be! One I'll watch again, for sure!!!
This film has to be one of the only films that I wanted to see without knowing anything about it back in the mid 00's. Something about the dvd cover made me buy it and I love it.
The story is pure fiction but will keep you interested until the end... and what a end it is!
Well. this was an interesting movie. I never would have understood what was going on if my family hadn't been there discussing it on the way. It was kind of creepy in spots, but it was interesting. It was kinda cool to watch, and it had a happy ending, which I appreciated.
