Notes

My quick rating - 5,8/10. A depressed millennial discovers that the world she knows is just a simulated version of reality that is being shut down. Suddenly, she's the only one who wants to stick around. The movie is sci-fi only in its premise, there is no actual budget here, so no spaceships or effects. That isn't a bad thing since I like the whole idea of this flick I just wish they had done much more with it. Ashley Hutchinson does a nice job as the central character (Sarah) and unfortunately, the rest of the cast minus her parents are obnoxiously just there for the story. I have a nagging suspicion that Trevor Peckham is trying to make some statement about how the millennials have it so bad since they are stuck with being watched where ever they go and blame previous generations for this. Since the whole quandary we have is Sarah finding out that her virtual reality simulation is being run by future generations of humans and is going to be shut down. I'll roll my eyes and move on since I am pretty sure every generation has in some form or another let their bad choices affect the following, and so on, and so on. Beyond this, we have a well-made flick that still is able to connect more often than not. The humor is placed properly and presented in a realistic manner while the sometimes serious portions are able to make you think. To make a decision on where to go at the end of the simulation (which is so poorly explained so you just have to roll with it), she must decide between continuing on in the simulation or ending it and reliving her 5 best moments in life repeatedly with no recollection of them happening. So brand new on a loop. As a guide to assist her, she is assigned Langston Fishburne who deadpans his character quite well to provide clarity and a few giggles. For what they had to work with, they churned out far better than I had originally expected.
