Simulation Theory Film

I was there live at the Goffertpark with over 60k people ive it was that good it would get a 10/10

"Simulation Theory" is an amped up Muse band concert experience featuring a state-of-the-art light show mixed with CGI and acting cuts. If you're a fan of Muse then you'll definitely love this artistic expression of life as a simulation. It's pretty well done but it's not film/theatre-quality, the director (Lance Drake) is an experienced Muse music video director so "Simulation" plays much more like an extended band video than a movie per se. It's really good for what it is but I think many of us wanted a more movie-like experience. Anyway, don't skip the end credits since there's a screed against Big Social/Ad Media that you may want to nod to.

I really enjoyed this film hence the 9 star rating. I would have given 10 stars had the concert not been edited to death. The best part of Muse Concerts is the transition from song to sing and this misses that. Anyway it is still great viewing.

Superb display and an quite original idea. Adds meaning and story to visuals, that have been used for the entire Simulation Theory Would Tour. The story feels relevant to the lyrics on display, therefore you get invested in the story surrounding the concert. Superb stuff overall. I mean can we just have a minute to appreciate the visuals, OH MY GOD

Musically, Muse delivers as usual, they really sell there identity, while also selling their renowned skills at engaging the crowd, this time through a whole other dimension.

Now there ain't many negatives, but I had a few. Nothing major. One thing is the sound mixing, I did accustomed to it later in the movie, but some of the background music did bother me at times. My main negative is however the OVERUSE OF SLOW MOTION, yes it makes for some cool shots, but takes you out of the immersion completely. It's definitely a subjective editing style, but 1/3 through it started to annoy me and I couldnt help noticing it, especially as it felt like it was there once every minute.

TL;DR 9/10 for an immersive experience, with a cool and relevant plot, that really made the format stand out. Lots of bonus points for the stunning visuals and no doubt a big score for the music on display. It's major let down is the editing, but might not be the most noticeable to viewers

Special performance from a special band. The way they've molded this live performance into a film is nothing short of genius. The simulation theory is truly a one off. The dialogue in the film is so relevant to what is going on in the world too. Definitely worth a watch.
