Who'll love it
One for anyone who likes watching someone settle a score and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. If you loved Upgrade or eXistenZ, start here.

The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 32 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.

Now a shattered mind lurking in cyberspace, Jobe plots a return by hijacking a global VR network and rebuilding himself as something far beyond human. As reality starts to glitch, a small group races to stop a digital god who no longer needs a body.
