Never seen anything like it before

If you're into sci-fi in any capacity, definitely watch. It was the closest thing to a cinematic video game experience that I've ever had...in a great way. So hard to capture given that it was such a unique experience watching, but regardless - I highly recommend, and also make sure to try out the different parameters that set you on various "subplots"

Chaotic and incomprehensible

Could not finish this film. The story is all over the place and it is impossibly hard to follow what's going on. Mix than in with epilepsy inducing imagery and we left the room half way through saying to each other "what the .. did we just watch?"

Great premise, but needed restraint

Great concept, but so trippy in its narrative that it was often incomprehensible. Maybe that's the part of the point, that AI embedded into people will be impossible to disentangle, or that the advancement of technology is like putting humanity on a dizzying Mad Tea Party ride, but regardless, I think a little restraint would have made this ten times better. The quiet moments (like "Parenting is programming") were far more interesting than the spew of jargon or the various surreal moments, and the interactive experience complete with merchandising sounds even less like my cup of tea. Had promise, but ended up a mess.
