Become A Game
NEUROO-X, a German-Swiss-Chinese entertainment company group, stands for games that dissolve the boundary between reality and gaming). A new gadget, the myth-enshrouded RED BOOK, offers the ultimate gaming experience. The most secret longings of gamers are scanned by the engine and transformed into fantastic adventures. The conspiracy psychoses of users are the raw material for the storytelling of NEUROO-X. Marcus, Chief Development Manager of NEUROO-X dies shortly before completion of the RED BOOK. His lover Ryuko finds out that something terrible happened during testing of the game in China, and the deeper she submerges into the secret of NEUROO-X, the more she loses touch with reality. She neglects her son Walter, who logs into the game and disappears into the digital parallel world. The more Ryuko fights the corporation in order to rescue her son, the more she updates the narrative desired by NEUROO-X. Ryuko finds herself in a world full of demons, witches, knights and terrorists.

I'm always a bit weary when it comes to movies from my country as they tend to be lackluster or made for TV productions (especially when it's sci-fi)! Luckily this wasn't the horror I imagined. Being a cross media project there is an augmented reality game this movie builds on but not relies on (I haven't played it as it's city based). That is also the main theme the story builds on: an engineer built machine that allows you to blur the line of what is real and virtual. He disappeared as he realized the danger of his invention leaving it up to his wife to stop said release to the public. The movie has a strong *weabonism* to it (I made that word up). The opening shot is what looks like a field in the alps with Mt. Fuji in the background and two people in a kimonos walking down the hill. He met his wife in Japan who was cosplaying as "Tokyo Heidi" and she frequently speaks Japanese with their son. The evil lady in the game is also a western rendition of the slith-mouthed woman (an urban myth), and so on. Apparently this is because Japan is already doing more of these kinds of media projects and had thematic influences given. The film looks good for it's budget and the story was ok. The first half feels rather exposition heavy though and the dialogue is "overwritten" giving it a bit of a theater feel. By Swiss standards this certainly is a good sci-fi movie it's just something I've personally seen done before better.
