Quite an interesting project. The most interesting thing is that there are practically no events in the film that take place in the real world. Almost the entire film takes place in the game. The director has done a good job of recreating the atmosphere of the game—the music, the visuals,
the special effects—all of which allow us to feel like we are in the game.
The plot of the film is as follows. At the center of events is Flint, a programmer and gamer who is trying to prove that he is the author of some very popular games. Meanwhile, the virtual world is ruled by the MCP program, which used to be just a chess program. But there are still programs that believe in their “users,” and MCP exterminates them with the help of games, so to speak, “to the death.” Flint tries to stop MCP, but is tricked into entering the virtual world, and he decides to destroy MCP from within.
A young Jeff Bridges is seen in the film. He did well with the role. I liked how he worked with the special effects, but there were a couple of mistakes, but you can turn a blind eye to them. The other actors also did well, but they were only required to be present in the frame.
I was pleased with the special effects, which are very good for 1982. They are complemented by good sound editing: motorcycles and tanks sound individual and different.
Verdict: a fairly high-tech film for 1982, which is good for one viewing and will help pass the evening.
