Review of Virtuosity (1995) by Mcmullen90 — 05 Aug 2020

OK so first I will admit that many people are correct when saying this is Russell crows and denzel Washingtons worst movie but only because the acting seems to forced and over the top and that's odd coming from 2 of the greatest actors of our time! However I found this film to be very refreshing the story/plot is simply geniuse expecially for a movie created in the early 90s if you gave this movie a bad review but haven't seen it since the 90s please watch it again and I believe you may change your mind only if because many people that watched this movie around its release date would not have understood the idea of the technology discussed and portrayed throughout.

Think about it in 1995 your watching a film about a scientist whom creates an artificial intelligence named S.I.D (Sadistic, Intelligent, Dangerous)whom is put into a Virtual reality world and told to do whatever he wants while 2 prisoners are sent in to try and capture or kill him only to be bested by Sid because unbenounced to them Sid had broken free from his perameters inside the VR world.

Because of Sid's clear abuse to the program and also the life of the men inside it is decided to delete/destroy Sid however before this can happen Sid's creator uses new cutting edge technology to not only bring Sid into the real world but also give him a body created with self healing nanotechnology so if Sid is injured in any way all he has to do is consume glass to be healed.

So understanding this technology in the 90s for most was fairly hard at that time this was as sci-fi as it got and many didn't like it simply because they just didn't get/understand it.
