VHS Movie Reviews of Virtuosity [VHS]
Movie Review: Virtuosity
Summary: 5 Stars
The Law Enforcement Technology Advancement Centre (LETAC) has developed SID version 6.7: a Sadistic, Intelligent, and Dangerous virtual reality entity which is synthesized from the personalities of more than 150 serial killers. LETAC would like to train police officers by putting them in VR with SID, but they must prove the concept by using prisoners as test subjects. One such prisoner is ex-cop Parker Barnes. When SID manages to inject his personality into a nano-machine android, it appears that Barnes might be the only one who can stop him. This movie is worthwhile and intriguing, the marvelous special effects enhance the look and feel of the movie. Russell Crowe is positively gleeful in his portrayal of the ultimately designed killing machine. The movie is entertaining.Movie Review: AI gone ballistic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a replacement for the VHS tape I had. I love this movie. It has two of my favorite actors in it (Denzel and Russell). I love to watch this movie because it makes me think of the future and how computers and machines could ruin our lives.Movie Review: Every actor has a movie like this
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a Denzel Washington fan.
I kinda like Russell Crowe.
This movie is to be avoided if you don't want to taint your impression as actors. Absolutely a horrible movie, rotten script, bad directing, waste of two good actors... kinda cool idea, though, of using nano technology to give life to a virtual entity - I'd like to see Lawnmower man exit his virtual cage via this gimick.
Anyway, I put this in the same category as Escape from LA. To be avoided at all costs. No matter the cheap price.
Movie Review: Okay, But Not Great Sci-Fi Thriller
Summary: 3 Stars
With Virtuosity having Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, you would think, or at least hope that this would be an all-time classic. But instead, this film is a fairly solid, not bad, but not great film, where special effects and an overwrought screenplay almost upend two of the best actors of our generation.
In Virtuosity, a world of the future has developed a novel way to train police officers. They take a computer program and imbue it with the personalities of over 100 serial killers, and put officers into virtual reality training using the model, known as SID 6.7. As these things tend to go in science fiction films, artificial intelligence runs amok, and Sid 6.7 implants himself in an android and goes on a rampage.
The only solution to thwart SID 6.7 is using an ex-cop, Parker Barnes, who been in jail for a while to catch. The rest of the film is a cat-and-mouse chase between SID, played by still largely unknown Crowe and Barnes, played by Washington.
The film has cool special effects, an interesting plot, and two great actors anchoring the movie. But the script weighs things down, and the ending confrontation seems to go on forever. This film is not bad, but it could have been a lot better.
Movie Review: Role Reversal
Summary: 5 Stars
Now if Denzel would have got to cut loose like Russell Crowe did in this one, American Gangster would have been a much more exciting movie.
