Sight: Extended

As a completionist as regards gaming, you know, unlocking as many achievements as possible for games on different platforms and mastering them, I think an Augmented Reality and AI like the ones in Sight: Extended might really help me out to deal with "real life".

What I like most about the movie is the impressive protagonist development we can see thanks to just a "technological push". Yet, I think some cliché stuff like past love crushes and the ending, could've been way better but still enjoyed it.

I just wish there would come one of these sci-fi films that actually is 100% happily ever after but well, this one is really close, so I was surprised. I mean, you won't see the typical "AI turns into a serial killer" stuff, luckily!

All in all, I was worried due to the low rating but I'm glad I went for it and if you like these themes, you'll probably enjoy it too.

In a Black Mirror-type format, we see a story about how people wear virtual reality contact lenses (think Apple Vision Pro but less bulky). The main character is gifted an app that helps him combat agoraphobia, clean up his apartment and physical image, and socialize with a high school crush. I was mesmerized for the first hour, but the excitement plateaued and I was slightly lost at the end.

How or why this technology was introduced is not clear, but I can say that this is the best science fiction movie I've seen in a decade. The main actor performs the anxious and diabolical elements of this character to a T.
