joefilmone Posted April 22, 2012 In some ways it's dated but the visuals are still intriguing and the script thought provoking. The director obviously had Kubrick on his mind- all that great classical music. My favorite scene is that decadent party- **** with the beautifully dressed people shooting those poor trees.

bongoBill Posted February 19, 2013 Another movie that was ahead of its time. Get beyond the actual game playing in the movie (which was pretty exciting) and explore the politics and roles that the game plays. No real books, everything electronic and 'controlled'. Way cool. That party sequence....LOTS of things going on there! People crying, **** of destruction, drugged out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faceinthecrowd Posted September 3, 2013 "It's not a game -- it never was a game!" With corporations replacing nations -- corporate anthems are played, not national anthems -- the message of the film becomes clear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TopBilled Posted Friday at 03:21 PM I just watched this film for the first time a few nights ago. Like those poor trees, I was blown away. It's a true classic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
