Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Brooke89 I really enjoyed watching this film. I loved the whole concept. Gaming is so prevalent these days, another reality to escape to. This is the digital world we live in now. In this film we see both reality and virtual reality through an honest lens. The characters are people you can imagine knowing, inhabited by extremely talented actors.What struck me the most about this film is the honesty of the dialogue. The interview-like and video game segments weaved through this movie made it a beautifully crafted one. I loved the New York backdrop. It's a thinking persons movie, artistic and thought provoking.

Martin F. Sorensen One of the pleasures of viewing a film is the discovery of what the filmmaker cares about. In this case, the writer and the director are the same, so it is doubly true. What the filmmaker cares about is how people miss each other in their daily lives. This is especially the case in the locale of the movie, New York City. Two of the characters do finally seem to find each other at the end, and two others do not deserve to find anyone, and the final two miss out and we are sorry for them. When they do miss each other and when they do find each other, we see them in the various picturesque (if that's the right term) scenes outside in New York.So I think that's what the filmmaker is telling us about, how difficult New York is for people to find each other, but also, especially in the subway, people can ultimately stay together. And that is the essence of all storytelling. The cinematography is spectacular, the acting superb, the dialog crisp. This film deserves a 10.

cory-marciel Plato's Reality Machine takes an innovative non-linear approach to this tale of the messy love lives of a group of young New Yorkers who relate better to technology than they do to one another. The visuals are impressive, the virtual reality of the game space impressive (on a $35,000 budget for the entire film) and the narrative is challenging. This isn't the kind of film to hold your hand. The director, Myles Sorensen, challenges the audience to come to their own conclusions and the film is all the more rewarding for it. The young cast is also impressive and the New York setting is well captured. This is the kind of film that will appeal to anyone who has ever had their heart broken and felt unable to trust again. It also explores our culture's increasing dependence on digital lives that take the place of our physical ones. The main character has retreated into a world of gaming and violence after ruining his last relationship. Plato's Reality Machine provides an interesting micro-budget counterpart to Spike Jonze's HER, exploring many of the same themes.

xackery Plato's Reality Machine pulls off what no other indie film has ever attempted - it explores modern issues of self-identity while weaving metaphoric video game world to explore the character's inner-lives. The cast is stellar and includes Trieste Kelly Dunn (Star of Showtime's 'Banshee'). The performances are powerful. Sorenson's direction is dead-on and his story-telling is economical and innovative. See this film and prepare yourself for a truly amazing indie film treasure. Wouldn't be surprised if this movie finds a big following with Machinima fans as well.
