Wolff rating: FAIR
Plot summary: A construction worker in the future gets a virtual-reality vacation that turns dark and sinister, but the audience doesn't know if it's live or if it's Memorex.
Biased, pithy comments: This movie can really be summed up by images of breaking glass, wind, and a whole lot of latex. There are no great concepts being explored, and there is so much Hollywood violence, so many impossible twists of physics and so numerous leaps of faith (even if the movie is viewed as a fantasy) that I was left waiting for something more.
Other Notes: Novelisation done by Piers Anthony (gaak!)
How many times I have seen it: x2
