Personally I'm a big supporter of the simulation theory. I find it to be a very logical explanation to the way the world works and to our role in it as human beings. So naturally I found this doc fascinating. Perhaps because it was made in Covid times, the film makes extensive use of animation and the interviews are done through video chats (some of the subjects dressed up as digital avatars). It actually works for the film , considering the subject matter. I would've liked to see more focus on the role of consciousness in a simulated world but the film doesn't go the spiritual route. Being entertainment first and foremost, it focuses more on the wild idea that we all live in some giant computer in some advanced technology's office building. It also highlights the danger inherent when an unstable mind is influenced by the simulation theory. But all in all the movie is a positive and welcome addition to the growing conversation around this topic. There's much more material to mine here, so hopefully we will see more movies about this. At the end of the day, what's more important than the nature of reality itself?
