Existenz

I watched this movie Sunday night for the first time. I wanted to watch Crash because I just finished the audiobook, but it's not available here in the States to rent online legally, so I went with Existenz, another Cronenberg flick from the '90s.

Interesting film. I give it 2.5 stars out of 5. A little campy, but the Grade A acting saves it — Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jude Law, Willem Dafoe, oh my! Since it's about video games and virtual reality, I thought it was going use technology of the time (1999), but it was a different timeline or the near future, which was a nice touch. I can see why it never really made an impact. Tough to follow The Matrix, which came out the same year.
