eXistenZ

The movie starts out by already being in the game but we do not find this out till the end of the movie. Their are a group of people gathered to try out a new game that was just designed. The game immerses you in an alternate world by connecting to what is called a bio-port. While you are in the game your body enters a coma like state and time in the game goes by much faster the in real life much like a dream. While the group is testing out the game a man enters but is there to kill the designer of it. The guard at the event scans the guy with a wand but it does not detect the gun he has because of it being organic. The guy shoots the designer of the game but does not kill her and the guard kills the shooter and takes the designer and drives off to save and protect her. She has her pod and needs to see if anything happened to it in the attack but the guard does not have a bio-port so they must first get him one but the port he gets is bad and ruins the pod. So they go to some people that she thinks will help her but end up destroying the pod while fixing it. Before they find out the pod was fixed to be ruined they enter another world where the guard makes the same gun that we see at the beginning of the movie and uses it to kill his waiter at the restaurant but before he does this he points it at the designer of the game and she realizes that he could not stop himself from doing that. There are some things that have to be done in the game to continue on. While going in and out of the game throughout the movie they begin to struggle with what is the real world and what is the game. At this point a "war" breaks out and she shoots someone and the guard wonders why because they think they are in the real world and he begins to question some things. Then it goes back to a scene like the movie started out in only for you to realize the whole movie is the game. The creator and the guard are in a relationship that the game picked up on. All and all it was a strange movie to say the least but was good at the same time.
