THE MOVIE \u2014 3.25\/5
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>The year is 2047. Most of the world\u2019s population live inside corporate-controlled virtual worlds and drift further out of touch with reality. Nash (MIKE DOPUD), a private investigator\/bounty hunter is hired to track down a group of hackers who are disrupting and terrorizing the virtual space in a bid to free human beings from their online prisons.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>I\u2019ve come across movies like 2047: Virtual Revolution<\/em><\/strong> while perusing the electronics department at Wal-Mart and usually the cover is far more professionally done compared with the movie itself. I will admit, Virtual Revolution<\/em><\/strong> was actually not half bad with some respectable production values. That being said, it does HEAVILY \u201cborrow\u201d from Blade Runner<\/em> (especially in respects to the sets and some costumes) with a sprinkling of The Matrix <\/em>thrown in, though in that regard, this movie does a better job exploring, albeit briefly, the idea those \u201cconnected\u201d into virtual worlds may not want out.<\/p>\n

2047: Virtual Revolution<\/em><\/strong> was written and directed by Guy-Roger Duvert marking his feature film debut in both and even with what was likely a limited budget, actually didn\u2019t do a half bad job as it was competently directed and the writing adequate. The performance from the unknown cast was alright with the lead actor Mike Dopud doing a fine job (should note, Dopud has an extensive career in bit parts in movies like Mission: Impossible \u2013 Ghost Protocol<\/em> and a few of the X-Men<\/em> movies). I would say this is worth seeking out because it was fairly enjoyable.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Wild Eye Releasing distributes 2047: Virtual Revolution<\/em><\/strong> onto DVD presented with a 2.29 anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio (and yes, I measured) and actually looks very good even in standard definition where some colors are vibrant set against some of the darker elements. The disc also includes a 5.1 and 2.0 Dolby Digital tracks with the latter being, for some reason, the default option, though I watched with the 5.1 turned on. As such, the movie sounded pretty good with some nice depth as dialogue came through crisp and clear, that includes Dopud\u2019s somewhat gravelly voice.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 3.25\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

2047: Virtual Revolution<\/em><\/strong> was a surprisingly solid sci-fi action-thriller that does heavily borrow from Blade Runner<\/em> and even The Matrix<\/em>, but I had a lot of fun and was thoroughly engaged until the end. Nothing perfect or even great, but certainly worth seeking out as a rental (and it is available on Amazon free for Prime members).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
