Well, this was strange movie....worth a rental at least. Definitely an original story line, kind of "Twilight Zone" stuff. Decent acting, A/V nothing special. 6 out of 10.

    It's very much an hour long Twilight Zone episode padded to fill two hours. Interesting concept, but takes WAY too long to get to the meat of the story, and doesn't particularly have a satisfying denouement. Not particularly a good movie... and kind of a missed opportunity to bring something original to the sci-fi genre, though it really wasn't marketed that way.
    Equipment list:
    Onkyo TX-NR3010 9.2 AVR
    Emotiva XPA-3 amp
    Polk RTi70 mains, CSi40 center, RTi38 surrounds, RTi28 rears and heights
    SVS 20-39CS+ subwoofer powered by Crown XLS1500
    Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player
    DarbeeVision DVP5000 video processor
    Epson 8500UB 1080p projector
    Elite Screens Sable 120" CineWhite screen

    It in fact WAS a Twilight Zone episode, and before that a short story. So I guess it's not THAT original ;)
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.
