"OtherLife." Excellent sci-fi movie. One of the best I've seen in a while.

Here's part of my review: Sci-Fi at its best. This film is very well done, with great visuals, acting and a plot twist sure I didn't see coming. The story is about Ren, a researcher and computer coding genius who discovers a way to simulate exciting adventures into ones mind through chemicals. Subjects can experience a weeks vacation skiing in the Alps in just a few minutes of real time.

Here's the rest of the review and a trailer. It's streaming on Netflix.

I only review movies I really like. I try to keep them short and to the point. And I try to include a trailer whenever I can. Occasionally I can't find one, especially for foreign film. I noticed in some of my older posts, the links to the trailers no longer work. I think the studio may have taken them down.

Sounds derivative (and not in a bad way) of We Can Remember It For You Wholesale/Total Recall
