This stylistically incredibly Canadian sci-fi movie is unfortunately a swing and a miss. Basically, “Primer” but with virtual reality instead of time travel. In some sort of experiment that’s too confusing to understand, the story shifts between similar-enough-to-be-confusing realities without much clue which is real and which isn’t, resulting in something more disorienting than interesting.
Some very occasional neat visual effects and likeable if basically untalented actors can’t save this ambitious but poorly-written exercise. Even being charmingly Canadian couldn’t save it, which is disappointing.
But, boy is it Canadian. It’s just close enough to a stereotypical low-budget but ingenuous and clever Canadian outing to almost be worth a look. Allllllllllmost.
