Director David Cronenberg's eXistenZ is a stew of corporate espionage, virtual reality gaming, and thriller elements, marinated in Cronenberg's favorite Crock-Pot juices of technology, physiology, and sexual metaphor. Jennifer Jason Leigh is game designer Allegra Geller, responsible for the new state-of-the-art eXistenZ game system; along with PR newbie Ted Pikul (Jude Law), they take the beta version of the game for a test drive and are immersed in a dangerous alternate reality. The game isn't quite like PlayStation, though; it's a latexy pod made from the guts of mutant amphibians and plugs via an umbilical cord directly into the user's spinal column (through a BioPort). It powers up through the player's own nervous system and taps into the subconscious; with several players it networks their brains together. Geller and Pikul's adventures in the game reality uncover more espionage and an antigaming, proreality insurrection. The game world makes it increasingly difficult to discern between reality and the game, either through the game's perspective or the human's. More accessible than Crash, eXistenZ is a complicated sci-fi opus, often confusing, and with an ending that leaves itself wide open for a sequel. Fans of Cronenberg's work will recognize his recurring themes and will eat this up. Others will find its shallow characterizations and near-incomprehensible plot twists a little tedious. --Jerry Renshaw

[Existenz [IMPORT]Forget "The Matrix". Now, really forget it. It's a different movie. "eXistenZ" lives in a world, or really nested realities, all its own. Cronenberg is a master of mixing up reality with non-reality and physical with non-physical. I think one of the beauties of "eXistenZ" is the ugliness of the Virtual Reality world created by Geller's (Jennifer Jason-Leigh) half-mutant amphibian/half plastic game pod. The icky porting into it with an umbilical cord into the spinal column is so ... Read More
Rating:  - Existenz - Imaginative, Spooky, Thought Provoking
eXistenZ is a very interesting movie that follows the heroes as they try to succeed in the ultimate game of virtual reality.Jude Law and Jennifer Jason Leigh must go through a series of challenges to unlock the game and it's secrets.The thing that is most allusive about winning the game, is that it's not clear what winning means.In fact, it's not even clear what is part of the game and what is not.As they learn more and more about the inside and outside of the game, they come closer to solving ...

Rating: - Strange. Dream Like. Not for everyone.
Ever wake up from a vivid dream and wished that you could make it into a movie? If you're David Cronenberg, you don't have to wish, and the result is Existenz, an ethereal, strangely sensual odyssey into a world only the subconscious mind could conjure.
A weird little movie with a befittingly weird title, Existenz flew under the radar during the 'Summer of the Matrix'. On the surface, Existenz is little more than a vague narrative of two unlikely companions, played by Law and Leigh, who alternate ... Read More

At first sight, the pod looks horrible and squeashy.At the end of the show, I am left baffled by the character asking whether they are still in the game or not.That's the general feeling of this movie.One just doesn't know whether the game is still on or off, and if still on, on which dimension and how far advanced the players are in the game.It is an eerie thought that someday, maybe, those gamers out there might just slip into the gaming world and never ever return to the real world.Splendid performances ...

Rating:  - Confusing title
Please note that this movie has nothing to do with those pills you see advertised on late night TV. :(
