I quite enjoyed the complexity of this film. Somewhat like the Matrix in that the question is "what is real?". I had the advantage that I recorded it on my PVR, so I could go back over the parts that were most confusing.

Not a total dud but not very memorable either, "The Thirteenth Floor" is mostly a hit-or-miss affair that ends on a dull note but is at least entertaining enough so that your time spent watching it doesn't feel completely wasted. The visuals are nice and the premise is clever, but the script is bland and uninspired and the acting is pretty unremarkable. It's moderately interesting, but that's about the only thing that "The Thirteenth Floor" has going for it.

Mediocre at best. The ending is cool, though not mind-blowingly unpredictable. The buildup is way too long, and though the first twist is a bit unpredictable, the second is painfully obvious. More attention could be given to 1937 LA considering this is a 2 hour film, and I think it be appropriate to show some of the alternate universes considering that they're mentioned multiple times.

Intriguing premise and made with good intentions. I have liked this movie since I first watched it all those years ago. The film was unlucky to be sunk by the matrix at the time. This is criminally underwritten and offers a plot that will keep you guessing until the very end. The characters don't have much to work with but they give it substance and work well together in this noir style of filmmaking. The detail to the settings is really interesting, the old fashioned noir setting compared to the dark setting of the modern era. Both contrast to old and moder noir settings. The film is good and under appreciated you will do no harm checking this film out
