I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I wasn't expecting much when I started it, but almost immediately I was hooked. What really impressed me and won me over was how they used CGI to completely animate the online world. How many of you find yourself imagining the chat rooms or message boards you visit an actual place? That is what they do here. As soon as someone logs into BBS, the scene flows into an animated metropolis, with each BBS member's avatar walking around and interacting. No, it's not virtual reality, but an ingenious way to portray interaction on the internet.
The plot, while not entirely orignal, did do a pretty decent job of showing us the online world complete with hackers, trolls and cyber bullying. It felt fresh and was a lot of fun to watch. I could see myself watching this movie more than once for sure.
