So so, not like

The movie talks about a high-tech video game, using a living organism as a drive, allowing people to enter the game immersively for adventure. After the hero and heroine entered the game, they found that there were games available in that environment. They entered another immersive game, so there was a game in the game, and the danger deepened again and again until the end of the game.

This idea makes people think of another movie "The Thirteenth Floor", in which people use computer technology to create a virtual but extremely real world, where they can enter and take risks, but exit Later, I discovered that the world I was in was also made by someone else. This seems to be a philosophical question, and it is also very interesting, and only after human beings have the ability to create another world-in fact, only after having such an idea-will they doubt their own world. Is it also a plaything in the hands of others? There is a cartoon whose content is the lens gradually zooming in, from a house, to a continent, to the entire earth, to the solar system, to the galaxy, to the entire universe, to the glass beads in the hands of an alien. Is it possible that the world we have worked so hard for and anxious, shouted, excited, and praised is just another deliberate product of the outer world? Just like "The Matrix", it's just a running program? Even if you don't have such advanced and mysterious technology, what if your world was created deliberately by people around you, just like "The Truman Show", it is a fake world in the real world, so what? Are humans' doubts about themselves and the world around them consistent or contradictory? In any case, this idea is a wonderful theme that constitutes a movie.

Although there is such a good theme, the film is not well shot:

First, the suspense is pinched for too long and it is not called suspense. It is either guessed or forgotten.
I watched it for a little while and guessed what was going on, but the film still kept it in suspense until the end, but it was no more exciting.

Second, he is reluctant to use special effects to depict the illusory world, but uses his strength where it shouldn't be bothersome.
A big contribution to the success of "The Matrix" is the wonderful use of special effects, which is amazing. If you can't use all the special effects, at least it should be displayed in different worlds. The stunts of the weird creatures in the film are neither terrible nor irritating, which only adds to the nausea.

Third, the plot has been developed too slowly, and many plots that should have been stimulating have been greatly weakened.
It can be regarded as a sci-fi movie or a thriller if it is filmed well, but it is not the same.

Fourth, the actors can't perform well, especially the heroine, which looks like a dream.

    a derivative of Naked Lunch...Not really revolutionary but Nightmares are never revolutionary!

    When electronic technology can restore all the senses of your body and pursue the so-called reality, you can no longer distinguish between reality and illusion. Cronenberg is not only a reflection on the alienation of modern technology, but also incorporates the usual physical horror, with sexually inserted intestines, and various deformed fish creatures placed on the most contrasting food to hang their appetites.
