The film navigates this digital landscape with a kind of earnestness that’s hard to ignore. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it mirrors the chaotic nature of video games themselves. You really get a sense of the stakes as the protagonist enters this virtual world, and the practical effects used for the VR sequences are surprisingly engaging.
