I read the first quarter of the book before watching this film. I was really excited to see the film - I couldnt wait.

I love the idea of escaping the real world this films is portraying. If you are poor or from an impoverished background, A parallel virutal life was a brilliant escape.

The book contains far more 80s references than I wanted to see, but the film tones down the pop culture of the 80s echoed in the book to make it easier to connect with the story.

What I liked: Parallel world - VR Elon rich genius giving his wealth a way to whomever solves his 3 riddles about things he cared about

Didnt like?

Characters are not the most interesting imo, but my interest in the background story made it palatable.

I gave it 4 stars because part of the movie was relatable, like moving from the suburbs to London issomething I personally find relatable. The 60s music, the london life is so accurate, but the core of the story didnt make sense.

All in all its watchable, but I found the point of the story to lack purpose. Others might disagree, but I would have preferred the same character, the same concept of a wannabe fashion designer to have a different plot than a horror theme because that plot didnt work for me so I am giving it a £4. Sorry.

The word unimpressed comes to mind. Shaky story with not much foundation. Predictable and unconvincing story. One the reviews was spot being titled"Good or bad writing?". I think what makes this movie awful and distasful to watch is mainly the script.

Uninteresting developments and I oersonally see no potential in it. The movie could not have been better anyways as the story itself is not mature enough to have any potential.

First 20 minutes, it looked like there would be a good story coming up, but sadly there is non. Its not recommended.
