      Old sci-fi movies are always providing nutrients for new ones

      After watching this film, in addition to the insufficient special effects in 1991, the escape plot, and the shadows of several science fiction films that I like.

      When Job said that he wanted to connect to the electronic world and go to the larger information world, his first reaction was that this was not Kusanamoto's concept! ? Maybe Oshii Mamoru really watched this film and got the spirit cover from it.

      The other one is Super Body. Lucy, fortunately, has...

      The foresight about virtual reality (VR) is very correct

      1991 has not yet entered the Internet age, but the 1991 "Genius Weeder" has foreseen all this. Including everyone will use virtual reality-which is now VR. The headset designed in "The Genius Weeder" in 1991 is no different from the current one. There is also gesture capture, full body sense.
      At present, HTC Vive consumer version, Samsung GEAR VR, Oculus Rift are already on sale. I tried HTC VIVE and it was great. VR technology is very mature. The effect is many times better than that depic

      .

      After reading two parts in a row, the first part is quite interesting and the second part is really rubbish.

      I probably watched it on the movie channel in 2008. The most memorable scenes are Mary upstairs and the self-driving lawn mower. At that time, I didn't notice that the special effects were bad, but felt scary.

      The low-energy lawn mower Job replaced the chimpanzee as a guinea pig. His brain was over-developed. Eventually his mental energy overflowed and even interfered in...

      "The Genius Weeder" is a science fiction film written by Stephen King, filmed in 1992. At that time, with such avant-garde science fiction, it is estimated that only a genius like Stephen King could think of it. The storyline is relatively simple: the virtual reality of doctoral research has made progress, so I borrowed the government-invested laboratory to conduct in-depth research on the orangutan and found that the orangutan's intelligence has greatly increased, but at the same time the...

      Stephen King is not the screenwriter of this film

      Although the low-level plot loopholes, the outrageous special features and the rough CG have caused the film to lose a lot of points, it is still an impressive work. That nerve-connected...the paint-like glue-like scene, ha ha, seems to be unique, but the more exquisite and glamorous shots in "Machine Incarnation" in 2009 did not have such a shocking feeling. Since the plot is very straightforward, there is really nothing to say, I just want to mention
      this : this film is not written by...

      2 stars for the movie itself, 1 star for its era, and 1 star for VR fans. It is very similar to the super body of the widow sister. In terms of VR itself, 2017 is still a long way...

    Movie plot

    At the turn of the millennium, a technology called "virtual reality" will be widely used. It can enable people to enter a imaginary world created by computers that is as infinitely rich as imagination. Its creator predicts this technology It will play a countless positive role in the development of human society, and some people worry that it will be used by some people and become a new way to control human thought.
