Weird film

This film made me think, but it also made me disturbed.

The story was different in slight ways to the world we know. It introduced new ideas and possibilities to us, the viewers. The technology in the film was replaced with bio-synthetics, which just looked damned creepy. There were many clues, in the form of repetition, for the viewers. These clues can only be realised towards the end of the film. "death to the ..." was said far too many times in this film, however it allowed us to link together characters and their motives in the film. Other repeated things were the dog and the gun. Each of these things apparently existing in and outside of the game world. Once again things become related in the film, and interweave 'til the end.
The idea of a gaming world that is so similar to our own, creates the underlying question of the film, are they still in the game? The line between is not known to us, the viewers we can only follow the character Pikul, as he learns the game world and struggles to tell the difference himself.
Overall, the concept behind the film was fantastic. It seems to be a futuristic film. The twist at the end, leaves the viewer with the questions:Has it ended? Are they still in the game? and Is this the real reality?
Personally, although this film was cool, i must now wipe it completely from my memory as all the freaky sexual stuff creeped me out.
