So Existenz, it still suffered from predictability - just as last time I saw it it was obvious from the first that it would end with someone saying "Wait, is this still the game?". Also, some of the twists and turns which happen so fast and often and then have to be explained by the characters saying "I'm a member of the so and so and I did that cos of whatever" are annoying and drag you out of any possible level of reality in the film. The best bits are some strong imagery and body horror - obvious for Cronenberg of course but I didn't remember how out there some of the scenes were. Also, when I saw Inception I'd forgotten about this film... and I guess everyone else had which is lucky for Nolan cos it's the same fucking idea done in the same way. I don't say rip-off cos it's not really an idea that you need to copy, we've probably had it independently at one time or another. And so it stands or falls on its execution, at times, there are moments when you're thrown and you think "Woah, that's weird, what level are they in?" and it hits you how it would feel, but those moments are too few and far between to really make it work overall.
