I honestly was expecting this to be a travesty, but was pleasantly surprised. There’s a throughline to the story, even if it’s quite basic, the low budget and limited settings doesn’t bother me, I actually liked the whole deal with the Cyberon, and the main cast really do give good performances and take the story seriously. There’s definitely some “why did you do this” choices in the movie, such as a certain scene that faded to the two main characters in bed together after one being forcefully injected with the drug. I don’t like what it implies, though they try to explain it away, but eh.

This movie also starts off with what I imagine is the only live-action by name reference to Sam and the Doctor. As someone just getting into the EDAs I appreciated that.

Is it a GOOD movie? No, just mediocre, but not bad either. I’m interested in more Cyberon.
