This movie was a terrific trip like Doom or Crank it follows the FPS video-game perspective, (which you can expect to see a lot more of soon with all the VR tech coming into the market). The story is simple enough, like any action game, with a linear plot and a premise that's initially credible, though becomes increasingly disbelievable as the movie progresses (the psychokinesis is one thing but the escalating cyborg body count in the last act was just idiotic). With a little refinement this would have gone brilliantly, but perhaps the producers wanted to make a film only to appeal to juvenile gamers. There was ample humour throughout the story to lighten otherwise savage Battle Royale style action, particularly from the English solider that kept popping up with wacky one-liners. The stunts especially parkour are incredible - this is the ideal mind of action for 3D/VR content, though the camerawork itself is pretty mediocre - an Xperia ZX would have been vastly superior than the head-mounted GoPro they appear to have used, the motion is nauseating at times. All in all, a good flick for lovers of action / FPS / blood 'n'guts.
