At first, we thought it would be something in inception style, but this australian made sci-fi thriller is a tat different though.
Ren is the lead designer of a computer anno durg programme called OtherLife, which she created to give her brother Jared a new take on life. The bloke has been in a coma since he had an accident scuba diving, and with this technology he could live out a life while just lying there.
However, her boyfriend dies when using the technology unsupervised, and as a result Ren must go to jail as a test subject. The OtherLife drug will be used to compromise a year of incarceration into a minute, giving her the experiences of it happening.
Some things don`t work out though, as she is being held longer in the drug induced state as her business partner wants to sign a government contract for this durg, something she refuses as that wasn`t why she developped it. So she now has to find a way out of the dream life...
It was a nice movie to be honest, bit under the radar (aka totally) her in western europe it seems. It plays out well and it actually doesn`t have to many insane plotholes, which these days is a plus. And although you can guess quite fast when she is either in or already out of her dreamworld, it still was a bit of revelation exactly how and when that transition of awareness takes place.
Watch it for sure if you have an hour and a half to spare!
