AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
klara-kocjancic-com I came here to watch an exciting and thrilling sci-fi TV show with a possible romance subplot. Instead, I found booooring, dull and very uninteresting show. Whenever anyone speaks is so... emotionless. I could look past bad animation if the characters would be intriguing, with a little bit more life in them. Instead, it feels like everyone here is really depressed. Would a little bit of humor sprinkled here and there and a spark of life kill someone? Just because the MC is an introvert it doesn't mean she needs to be boring (or dress like someone's grandma). I feel like this is pretty insulting to actual introverts. Gosh, that thing was just plain awful.
Cmkahue So far I have not finished this series but the VR world reminds me a lot of a computer based game called secondlife. This kind of world already exists. You can check it out for yourself. Anything you want to do in real life you can do in second life. It's worth checking out. Other then that I feel like it's a good show but things could have been developed a little bit better including the virtual world and characters.
rformax Love it from start to end...the story...the animation...the camera angle...the music...just wao!!HOPE TO SEE A SECOND SEASON!
charles000 There have been numerous VR themed sci-fi flims produced over the years, but nothing even comes close to this one.I was a bit skeptical going in, being that this was originally a made for TV mini-series from Scotland, produced in part by Netflix.However, having just finished watching this entire series, I've gained considerable respect for some of these more obscure productions which can be discovered as hidden gems.Unlike most of the other "usual suspect" sort of VR / gamer themed films, this is not a simplistic action packed production filled with stereotypical one dimensional characters, endless repetitive chase and fight scenes, gratuitous exploding whatevers and so on.Yes, there are some moments with these elements, but as such they are genuinely integral components to the evolving story, and are by no means designed to be the central features of attention.This is by far the one of the most cerebral, complex and well developed stories ever created around the nexus coordinate of a VR world intersecting with the real one, and the potential extreme consequences thereof, at least that I'm currently aware of.A possible comparison of such cerebral content might be made with the film "the Congress", starring Robin Wright playing herself as an actress who becomes a virtualized entity immersed in a virtual world with, well, extreme real world consequences, but the actual story (and experience) of that film is completely different from that of Kiss Me First.Of course, I must admit I haven't read the book from which Kiss Me First originated, so perhaps my review may not be as contextually complete as others offered here.Having said that, as one having entered into this production with no pre-conceived expectations, I was not in the slightest disappointed. Others here have already outlined key elements of the story and various subplots, so no need to repeat them here in this review.I will offer, however, that the production quality is superbly spot on and contextually appropriate. The CGI is not overly gaudy, but just aesthetically rich enough to convey a sense of presence that fits well within this framework.I could probably watch Simona Brown in just about anything, but here she really shines. A better fit for the character(s) "Mania / Tess" would be difficult to imagine, she absolutely nails it.That's not to take away from Tallulah Haddon, who plays her counterpart lead character(s) "Shadowfax / Leila".These two together really make the film come to life, and then some.Everyone in this production delivers.Big kudos for an unexpected hidden gem of this caliber lurking about on Netflix.I very rarely give a full 10 stars . . . but here, absolutely.
