Matt J Oct 21 It was OK. Released the same year as The Matrix which is much better in every possible way. Worth a watch but expectations should be set low, especially if you've seen The Matrix.

The story line is very interesting the special effects are quite good and the movie itself keeps you engaged leading to the ending. If you really enjoy watching horror/sci-fi movies as I certainly do you really should watch this one. I enjoyed watching it so much I added it to my collection so I can watch it anytime I like. I certainly enjoyed it just as much as the Matrix movies. So go ahead and watch this one see for yourself just how good it really is.

Some good ideas, but overall not anything groundbreaking or entirely captivating. See more purrfectly w Mar 22 I loved this movie soo much! 1999 had so many amazing movies based on the early age of the Internet. Since I'm an 80's child and Internet came online my first year of college I truly appreciate most of the movies that capitalized on this new gene. This movie was perfect in every way for me. I loved the suspense, and the retro detective murder mystery element that was then layered on top of the Internet gaming concept. The actor choices for each roll were spot on perfect, as well. My generation really loved the movies that captured the exciting computer/internet era back then when it was new and so exciting, with gaming, chat and everything we experienced. (ie the Matrix etc) So finding this gem so many decades later was deliciously perfect, imo. I've always loved a great murder mystery and retro movies from the 50's/60's so to add the new internet of the age as a 3rd layer within a gaming world was the best blend of all elements, for me personally. If you like the idea of a perfect trio of movie gene's than this is for you! The story is very well written and takes you on quite the journey with some excellent twists at the end, as you go. I loved the narrative on life in general with the idea of the illusion we all live and what it could really be, and really mean ultimately. Great adventure and action, and even better at making you think.. or rethink your reality. ...(it's unfortunate that this website smushes everything together into on long paragraph, even when we all write it out properly divided into separate spaced out thoughts... just saying :) See more Bill K Feb 24 Spoiler alert: The following discussion gives away the ending of the movie. This film is well done and has something important to say. And not a single one of the professional critics seems to have gotten the point, a point that scientists and philosophers are taking seriously: Are we living in a Matrix-like virtual world? Serious scientists have, and are, conducting experiments. Serious philosophers are debating the probability of the “simulation hypothesis”. At present there is no way to refute the possibility. One of the features of a simulation world is that there can actually be simulated worlds within simulated worlds - nested virtual worlds. We see nested virtual worlds in this film. Had the professional critics gotten the point, they would not have panned the story as being confused, jumbled. The story is clear and well presented if you appreciate the logic of it, the possibilities. And is this not what good science fiction is about - the possibilities? The Thirteenth Floor is well done science fiction that explores a question that might hit pretty close to home. See more Read all reviews
