I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I'm a little wary of video game styled movies. Sometimes it works and you get a great show, but others are just horrific. Gamebox 1.0 was the former. The plot was a little predictable, but then again, so are most video games. The characters are a bit 2D, but that's also very typical of video games. The soundtrack was awesome, techy and game-like, just how it should be. There weren't any slow areas in the movie. I loved how when inside the game, the movements were a little jerky. It really contrasted against the real world, and really captured the video game atmosphere. The ending put a smile on my face - poetic justice, anyone? I recommend this for anyone who has a passion for video games. It's a niche area, and the average person would not appreciate the way a game can be brought to life. I've seen quite a few video game/computer based movies, and this is definitely one of the better titles.

OK, this movie wasn't good at all. Video games aren't what I would brag on if I was over the age of 15. Cool to play games, but writing a comment about video game players may like this movie for that it is, that is strange. Just play a video game, don't make up a sorry story about getting trapped in one. I use my cell phone, I hope I don't loose my girlfriend in that. Grease being the worst ever? OK, Grease has a very well thought out story along with being a musical. Even if you don't like musicals, anyone would say Grease is good. My brother plays video games all the time and he watched 30 minutes and left because it was so awful. I feel asleep.

Well, the first thing I saw after looking at the DVD box was "Best Screenplay" and thought this would be a good rental. WOW, was I mistaken! I'm sure at one time there was a good movie in here, but after the incredibly poor acting and "video game" production values, this ends up looking like Tron's retarded half-brother. The first scene sets up the overall atmosphere of the entire movie. Five minutes into it, you'll be asking yourself, "What the Hell am i watching?", and it will just snowball from there. An awful soundtrack that makes every song sound like Rob Zombie's "Dragula" rounds out this miserable piece of crap into a laughably bad movie. On a side note, #3 most romantic quote in a movie - "I think you're the final destination."

Can't believe the other critics didn't recognise Sabrinas boyfriend. This is another movie about video games. Did X-Box have a share in this or did everyone get a free one? The opening sequence is a guy seemingly having an epileptic fit in his sleep whilst playing this game in his dreams. Dies in game dies for real. So that is the premise. The movie is about a guy who works as a video game checker finding faults and bloopers in video games. Good job. He then gets sent a game through the post. Why maybe because the game seeks out the vulnerable of this world. But then why get too deep. Its only a game. Or is it? Nate (real name) decides to play the game a la Existenz and the lines get extremely blurred as he can not awaken from this game and when he does, by his friends waking him etc he is still having psychotic flashes. So the lines are truly sullied. The characters in his game are made up of his friends, his dead girlfriend and the crocked cop who shot her as the bad dude. He starts off playing one game and then enters the others through windows holes in the ground etc. The game he begins is as a spy and at first it is fun shooting people, who just happen to look like his friends, and driving fast cars and bikes, with no lights or speed limits to worry about. When he meets the girl character that resembles his girlfriend things get interesting, difficult and a little scary for him. In the real world he again confronts the crocked cop,who, not satisfied with killing his one true love, puts Nate in a coma where the game continues. The thing about this film is it appears in mostly sepia format and that can make it a little hard to get used to, but you warm to it and I ended up enjoying it. Slow to start but develops quite well and the writing is not too corny. The ending, Well I wont tell.
