    People should live a more colorful life, express themselves bravely, and pursue what they think in their hearts. It's not a joy to have everything on track. The subject matter of this movie is so...

    Dystopian movies. Too-perfect personalities or too-perfect worlds are indeed either scary or boring. The meaning of life lies in its unpredictable and controllable future, and there is hope and pursuit because of the unknown. There are many familiar faces in this film, and the young Paul Walker makes people feel sad. But Reese Witherspoon is such a disaster that I can't bear to stare at her every time she comes...

    It tells the story of a brother and sister who entered a "wild" civilized land (the whole city is like a model, and people are like puppets) and changed it. Color is the highlight.

    When I was a child, I saw the introduction of this film in the sci-fi world. Only now. The setting is very interesting, and the color of the film is very good. But it's dangerous to see those desires fueled by consumerism as a hope for breaking out of dystopia, so it turns out to be a typical Hollywood consumerism propaganda...

    A silly, simple and fun fantasy story with references to rock music, sexual liberation, and segregation. Although a "perfect world" is ultimately an unrealistic fantasy, it reveals the nostalgia of contemporary Americans for the affluent life of the...

    It's fun, fun. I think anyone in the virtual world would be crazier than in this movie. I can't help but think of her ex-husband when I see the heroine, tsk tsk tsk, Ryan...
