Virtual Encounters

As my second Surrender Cinema flick I was looking forward to seeing Virtual Encounters. Not only do I love Elizabeth Cayton (Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity) but I had just seen The Exotic House Of Wax by Surrender Cinema, and aside from it being an outright soft core porno, it had an interesting storyline between the sex as well.

Not so with Virtual Encounters. While it was nice to see the expected sex scenes aplenty in this movie, there was no story whatsoever.

Kaitan hooks herself up to the Virtual Reality machine and it shows her all types of sexual pleasures. They try and develop Kaitan's character as a shy woman who isn't comfortable with her sexuality. As a result, her relationship is suffering. Her boyfriend gives her the gift of Virtual Reality and she loves it.

A so-so movie I would watch the Exotic House Of Wax instead.

Once again, I'm sick and tired of seeing comments from people expecting a better storyline. This is a SOFTCORE PORN FLICK! Give me a list of softcore porn flicks with great writing! They don't exactly hire David Mamet to write these things! Besides, do you want (and this question is only for straight men or homosexual women) good writing in a film like this? What would be the use?

Of course, some people don't appreciate the simulated sex scenes. I think they look pretty realistic. All the guys and girls really look like they're getting into it. I personally find no enjoyment in watching a guy's hairy testicles bang against a woman's buttocks, which is why I most prefer this tasteful brand of porn. But if you like seeing the hardcore stuff, then hey that's your taste. The box for this movie wasn't labeled XXX. In fact, the one I rented was R-rated (despite the fact that the nudity and sex was pretty explicit and covered about 90-percent of the film's running time). So don't say you weren't warned.

I always love Surrender Cinema's movies, because they have some of the best-looking girls EVER! And I can honestly say, this movie has the most beautiful women out of all Surrender Cinema flicks. I didn't have to worry about having the urge to fast-forward to the next scene. Each woman stimulated me almost equally. Of course, the pinnacle of the film would have to be the sultry "Asian massage" between Jacqueline Lovell and that Asian chick. Hot, hot, hot!

If you ARE a fan of the Surrender Cinema flicks, you should have a great great great time with "Virtual Encounters"! Damn, I can't wait to see the sequel!!!

My score: 10 (out of 10)

One of Surrender's good, early efforts. This is from the same director as Femalien and the two films are pretty comparable in quality. There are several sex scenes all tied around the concept of the main character's trip to a "virtual reality" studio. If the technology shown really existed, the company's profits would exceed those of GM, IBM, Coca Cola and Exxon-Mobil combined. :)

A couple of real highlights in the film were the strip club scene and the wet lesbian/three way. But all of the scenes were good.

Given the low price and high quality of the video, this is an easy recommendation.

...but this isn't one of them, although this wasn't a total waste.

I've seen most of them and, like other guys, F-Fwd to the sex scenes (for those of you looking for celluloid with class, aka plot, you won't find it in any of Surrender's stuff - that'd be akin to me expecting my employer to give raises, hahahaha...). But I don't drool over them (ran out of drool), rather I look for some level of realism in the sex scenes, the "eloquence of their efforts" (reality of their faking). I guess I've grown bored with the ho-hum 'undress and caress w/o impress' scenes. Any Shannon Tweed flick has at least 3 of these scenes - all of her films were meant for insomniacs!

I look for the usual giveaway positions such as the way over-used 'girl riding the guy's thigh' scene, both standing upright with him behind her, either of them grinning as though the camera operator just farted (look like Ken & Barbie dolls with their super-plastic 'ain't I beautiful?' smile), any tell-tale sign of the G-cover (not the G-string, this is a white stickem patch meant for guy's genitals), etc. - you get the picture. After a few of these rentals you'll start thinking of better uses for your money, like firestarters.

Even though this flick was thin based on my earlier mentioned expectations in realism it had a couple of semi-believable moments, thus I dub it a 'watchable' status for the rest of the testosteroned-Thogs out there, but as I said earlier there are better ones!

Okay, I'll admit that I had a pretty good idea of what to expect before I actually sat down to watch this flick. But this film didn't even pretend to have a plot. It was just sex scene after sex scene, which can get boring pretty fast. Now then, if you are just dying to see soft porn (with no storyline, just the sex), this is certainly a good choice, for it is plastered with wall-to-wall nudity and sexuality. But as for the story...what story? This is a movie that should be watched only with your brain turned off, much like the writers had their brains turned off when they scripted this disaster.
