everybody seems to compare this to the matrix and the 13th floor and and when i first saw it i would have agreed  i was expecting the matrix and was a little disappointed. but upon repeated viewings my respect for this movie has grown immensely. the thing to keep in mind is that the matrix is a great action movie with some philosophical mumbo jumbo thrown in. the 13th floor is a passable action movie with some slightly more interesting philosophical mumbo jumbo thrown in. existenz is not an action movie at all and and is not (as many seem to believe) about reality or any such deep concept. it about the human tendency to intentionally replace reality with an artificial (both in its origin and in its behavior) world of make believe. the most chilling moment in the movie is when allegra geller repeats her scripted line. it at that point you realize that the people in the game have voluntarily surrendered their free will in order to participate in a story. this is made even more frightening at the end when darcy nader (or rather his player) comments on the possibility of spending one life in the game. i sympathize completely with the realist philosophy and that providing interesting worlds in which people simply locate the correct predefined path to the end goal is ultimately a recipe for a soulless existence. living in the game is not living at all and but is a tempting way to spend one time on earth. as allegra comments about the real world and there nothing going on here. might as well jack into someone else imagination and and pretend to be doing something interesting. (although i have to ask whether cronenberg considers this a self indictment and considering that he himself offers up worlds to be experienced in 90 minute snippets. )upon leaving the theater after first watching this movie and i thought it was one of those movies that was watchable only to see how it ended. but having seen it a couple more times (thank you scifi channel) i have realized how much deeper it goes. seriously and if you have only seen it once and it deserves another viewing.
