About this movie

A group of online gamers is invited to test a state-of-the-art virtual reality sim, but what starts out as a dream encounter with cutting edge video technology—a perfect representation of soldiers in a war zone—takes a turn for the sinister when the stakes are fatally raised. These masters of the shoot ‘em up will have to fight for their lives within a game gone too far: this time it’s for real.

Ratings and reviews

No plot/very lacking and terrible acting. Only watch this movie if you want to see a take on VR. Was expecting a better version of "Gamer" from 2009. This is not where it is.

Despite all the other reviews, this movie is outstanding. I found it very intriguing. If you're into action and thrill, this movie is for you. Although, there is very inappropriate language, and it's very gory. This is not for young kids. I would recommend 18 years and older.

If you are a gamer don't watch this... it's insulting. Terrible movie. Great idea terrible story terrible acting. If you want to watch an hour and a half of crying and sniveling this movie is for you.
