eXistenZ (1999)
Interesting plot, thoughtful premise
Very interesting plot. Things aren't what they seem to be. While it took a little getting used to some parts of the premise, the plot is well done.
Occasionally the special effects were not as "big-budget" as we're used to getting in block busters from the biggest studios, but I have to say that while I noticed this, I didn't really miss much. The effects were good enough to make you suspend reality to live in the world of the story. I felt it had a compelling enough story line that I really didn't miss the special effects. Make no mistake, many of the effects were very good. In the end though, it was the story which made this movie well worth seeing... and thinking about later. I'd recommend this one, especially since it raises interesting questions about our penchant for escaping reality: what does it mean? where will it lead? what will it be like when technology advances to a point which allows us to be completely engaged in a video game?
Alien Avengers (1996)
Funny as B Movies go
If you like sci-fi and/or horror, this exuberantly "B" movie will delight you, since it combines both. Was disappointing to have such graphic violence, but then see very little of the beautiful Anastasia Sakeleris, but a decently funny movie overall.
