eXistenZ

The movie eXistenZ was a movie that surprised us all. There were a number of plot twists, and pieces missing that were revealed in the end, but even then we were left questioning the ending. The movie starts out with the game "eXistenZ" being released and a group of people were to test the game out before its official release to the public. The game designer Alexa Geller made an appearance to download the game system into the chosen players from these flesh looking pods. As she is downloading the game a rogue gamer steps up and shoots Alexa in the shoulder announcing death should be upon her. Chaos erupts, she is given a body guard, they run for their lives. Once they are safe, Alexa wants to test the game to see if it is still working properly. Throughout the movie the two are playing the game and an entire plot twist makes the ending (watch the movie to see what happens).

The movie is filled with moments that make you think "What?!" the entire time. The is no strict plot for the movie that stands out enough for the watchers to understand what it going on. It is not until the end of the film that everything pieces together and the plot is understood, however, the ending still leaves us at that "What?!" moment. There were also moments where the movie sort of grossed out the people watching, because of the odd nature of the film. The pods are fleshy looking and they move in an odd fashion that gives you that creepy feeling and a shiver up your spine.

The film was interesting to watch and would definitely recommend it on your watch list. eXistenZ is action-packed and keeps you on your toes throughout the movie. Each scene has its own flare and keeps you interested to the very end. From the beginning to the end the thrill never ends. Also watch for the small changes throughout the story it may help you figure out the end. It has its own style of producing a very confusing story, but keep that popcorn going, because you are going to want to see the end of this.
