Giorgio G @GioBlob Mar 10, 2025 I never entered any Virtual Reality world as I never understood the appeal of faking one's own existence. Now that I got a short glimpse of it in this flick, less than 3 minutes in total, I can understand even less why people do use this. The graphics are horrible, there are glitches all the time and the interaction is idiotic. Thus I naturally have to consider this movie a pile of crap as well. 1/10!! See more

Aaron S @RT79746728 Aug 12, 2022 What a fascinating project. We Met in VR works better as a piece of history than an actual movie I think. What I mean is that it so successfully captures a niche community at a moment in time (early pandemic) that will most likely never be repeated again in our lifetime, but very often fails to be entertaining. "Filmed" entirely in the PC game VRChat, this is some of the most novel documentary film-making I've ever seen, and while this is a one of a kind piece of work, from an outsider's perspective, the only moments that really work for me are its some of its more traditional emotional scenes set to its beautifully minimalistic score. Any attempt at comedy are lost in the sheer bizarreness of the subject matter. This lack of emotional variety seemed a little reflective of the people represented who play the game as depression, malaise, and social anxiety seem to be the glue that binds many of them together. I'd be interested in the perspective of someone who uses VRChat regularly, but I think We Met in VR's biggest challenge was representing its subjects as more nuanced than the state of their mental health. I think it mostly gets there, but not all the way - especially for your average viewer who will assuredly watch this with a very skeptical eye. See more

Aug 8, 2022 Garbage, super cringe community shown here, 0/10 if I could give it a lower score I would. I would also do an in depth review but it would be difficult typing it with one hand, I'm typing this with a shotgun in my mouth. See more

tom r @RT36352374 Aug 5, 2022 Ignore the kids who give this movie half-star reviews because they are incapable of empathizing with the idea of finding happiness over the internet. An incredibly human film that highlights a charming group of people as they explore how they found their homes within the virtual space. See more

Aug 4, 2022 this was a really brilliant project. Its an aspect of reality media. It has a translucent and ethereal quality that is unlike any Camera shot movie of the real world and any animated movie. And that texture is completely fitting for the subject. The jumpiness of the images actually fits the personal glimpses you are getting of the people behind the avatars. It's different from anything else and the concept is brilliant. I get why audience did not rate it that highly. If you are looking for Incredibles or How to Train Your Dragon, this ain't it. For something that is made entirely of unreal images, this is a lot more heartfelt and real than any other reality TV format. If you accept it's format and listen, then it is worth the experience.
