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.

These actors are so far from the typical gamer that I can't help but think the producers are out for a quick buck. There's what, 6+ gamers here and AOL of them look physically fit. And none wearing glasses of any kind?

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.
