Anyone know of this movie? My local video guy suggested this would like a little more info.

We've reviewed the Canadian disc, which also includes a detailed look at the film - http://filmfreakcentral.net/dvdreviews/existenz.htm

Seek out this Canadian DVD if you have a choice: it has a longform documentary and three commentary tracks vs. Miramax's nothing, and these extras really do enhance one's appreciation of the film.

The Canadian disc is better, though both have excellent anamorphic transfers & 5.1 audio.

Not one of Cronenbergs better films, the concept was good and has his unique "gross out" effects but the story was a bit weak.

But I still enjoy his works...check out Videodrome, Scanners, Dead Ringers, to name a few.

its one of thoes movie that try to confuse about wether its taking place in virtual reality or real life. the story can be improved... but the ideas are pretty cool.
