This was fun
i did watch this btw a couple of nights ago. crazy film lol, but yaeh, very entertaining. ^.^
it's matrix on bath salts ^.^
impressively made as well. it's not an all in one location thing, but it feels like it is.

i think part of why it's so good has something to do with scale.. things these days have a habit of being sprawling. games have open universes that are never ending, or maps that are designed so you never reach the end. tv like game of thrones has a million characters, locations, and plot threads. movies try to keep pouring in specticals to keep 'wow'ing the viewer. anime series that go on for 1000s of episodes and never end..
i think people have the wrong end of the stick with this. i much preferred freelancer to eve online - BECAUSE it was completable, you can up the level of detail in a managable world.
this film reminds me of that tbh, cos it has a limited set of characters - just across multiverses; so they are different but the same character.
and the majority of the film is in the office building set. it's very well done.
there's a lot of films like this actually, and they're totally under-rated.
ya dont need more. more is not always more. often you can just use what you have better, or in creative ways.

he only really wrote 2 series, H2G2, and Dirk Gently.
the UK adaptation of Dirk Gently is passable, but ye gods is the american version bad.
