A woman runs a company that uses drugs and technology to give people memories. She has a brother in a coma and a father who doesn't believe in her work. Her boyfriend dies when he takes the wrong potion and she is sentenced to a year of imprisonment in her own technology.
Unoriginal. The hour and a half duration is pretty standard and it had dynamic pacing that changed with the plot. I thought the plot was inconclusive and that it was unclear to the viewer what was fantasy and reality. The characters were relatively shallow and secondary to the plot. Dialogue all sounded natural and the actors did fine. The laboratory sets looked good, but the fantasy experience sets and locations looked better. I think this was because of more creative camera usage and editing. The special effect of going into an experience was a kaleidoscope made with video from the upcoming shot. There were also some distortions based on variations of the same effect when an experience was glitching. Audio was standard of the time: low dialogue, medium music and loud sound effects. IMDB rates it 6.3/10 and Rotten Tomatoes has 62% audience score for a 62.5% average. I disagree. This was better than Midnight Special for visual effects and plot. I rate this adequate.
