I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Captivating movie !

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Nirvana is a horrible and repulsive film.This is a very pathetic movie and I do not know what was Christopher Lambert thinking when he accepted the role in this movie.It seems that the director of this movie is laughing at the people who see it.I cannot believe how this movie was released in cinemas.From the first scenes(which seem a very bad joke),it seems that the movie is gonna be really bad.Nirvana is one of the worst movies in the history of the cinema.Be very far away from it.This movie could only be seen by students of cinema to show them how to don't make a movie.Rating:1(sadly it can't be 0)

An European hard-science action movie is rare these days, especially a good one, and Nirvana was a good surprise when released in France... The critics bashed it - with some interesting exceptions, and the public did not come to see it (bad promo material)... Nevertheless, it's still one of my favorite. This is not a Wakowsky Bros frenzy festival with "bullettime effect" (did you know that it was a french who created them ?) and kick-ass fighting, but Gabriele Salvatores (an "intellectual" director as it seems) did an excellent low-budget film with GREAT scenario, GREAT acting (Lambert at his best, seriously), a credible world... It's not centered on the VFX, and it's great. Sometimes a bit slow, but it's for the "ambiance", and, what an ending... A must-see, not especially for Lambert-fans... Be open-minded, and try it...

I've read a novel, recently, called "Neuromancian", from William Gibson. I was suprised, because many themes from this novel were in this movie. IA, Cyberspace, Cow-boys, Junkies, etc. This novel is the first from a litterature genre called "Cyber-punk". I think that anyone who liked this movie should read this novel, and vice versa. The movie took many simplifications, even unpossible things. But I liked it very much.

Christophe(r) Lambert heads an international cast in this 1997 French-Italian(?) co-production. While the movie doesn't have the big budget a Hollywood blockbuster would have had, it still manages to create an interesting & convincing near-future world. Actually, it's one of the few films that really manage to create a decent cyberpunk setting; right now, I can only think of "Nemesis" which was a pretty good effort, and then there's always "Blade Runner", of course...As for the acting in this movie, it's always tough to rate the level of acting when the movie is dubbed, but all in all I'm not complaining. Lambert is good, and Diego Abatantuono (sp?) is interesting as the sentient game character Solo - and kind of appropriate, too, since he has the physical look of a real-life "Mario on steroids". :-)There are also several nice touches of humour, that prevent the movie from taking itself too seriously (check out the meditating guy later on in the movie for a nice example...). Finally, there is some nice music in there as well.All in all, an enjoyable little movie - with cult potential, I think.
