What we have here is a witty sci-fi teaser built around the coming wave of deep immersion gaming.

It's striking that eXistenZ, a send-up of computer games that parodied The Matrix avant la lettre, and one of the great underappreciated movies of the late 1990s, yields the richest trove of relics.

eXistenZ - both Allegra's latest beta release and David Cronenberg's dizzying B-movie - makes the different textures of game, film and life increasingly difficult to tease apart.

I just don't happen to like puzzle films of any kind, but I must credit Mr. Cronenberg with more intellectual depth than most of his fellow pessimistic movie pranksters.

Though the rigidly wonky lead performances detract from the overall impact of eXistenZ, the feature remains a fun sci-fi romp into the inquisition of reality that hinges on signature Cronenberg style.

[I] thought it was good for what it was but it doesn't really beat other films I've seen like it.

Feb 17, 2016It is not easy to guess what is coming in this movie. The premise is interesting - when does a game become so real that you have troubles distinguishing reality and a game. I did not think Cronenberg's version had much thought to it. Whenever the plot got boring, another layer got added.Red L Super Reviewer

Jan 01, 2016Occasionally interesting ideas can't salvage the predominantly shaky acting, relatively lifeless script & characters, and inappropriately pedestrian (& stylistically dull) form of direction in this film.Kyle M Super Reviewer

Oct 10, 2015Certainly not Cronenberg's best.Gimly M Super Reviewer

Oct 08, 2015Existenz is about what one would expect from a late nineties, low budget, Cronenberg film. The first half hour is poor but overall, the film redeems itself and delivers on modest expectations. We get imagination, both paranoid and grotesque, and an eerie vibe that grows more compelling as the film progresses.Robert B Super Reviewer
