Having been a creator in virtual worlds of one form or another since 2,000... I understand the community, concept, and draw of these worlds. While I found the concept of VR Chat somewhat interesting, I got the feeling that there is a lot more to this world than was touched on in this film.
To me, that was it's greatest letdown. It is like being given a 5 minute glimpse into a 3 hour opera. It's hardly representative of the world. It's okay to see the experience of individuals on this world, but that doesn't mean we wish to see the same person's experience over and over again. After the first trip to the Helping Hands classroom, I felt no particular need or desire to attend another six sessions of the same environment. Surely there's something else in this world to present to the audience.
There were moments that were touching, parts that were funny, and parts that were somewhat mysterious (such as the Ghost Club-- so mysterious there was almost no information). The variety of avatars was interesting-- and for me one of the highlights of the film. But overall I felt we were just given a glimpse at one small room in a huge museum... and that a great deal of the film time could have been better filled with greater variety.
