I think one of the scariest things is that in the original script. Alice didn't even know Jack. He saw her at the hospital and picked her as his chosen wife.

That's what I was thinking too as I was watching this, this really would've benefitted so much more as a television series, it's not terrible, but it's not the best and left a lot more questions than answers.

The original script actually made the whole thing make a lot more sense, the husband was an abusive controlling ass, that's why he faked her death and trapped her in the simulation and when he went back to his abusive ways she started seeing cracks in the perfect world and investigating them. The perfect loving husband who she's passionately enthralled with was a change Wilde made when she cast Stiles in the role (and supposedly soon after started a relationship with him).

[@Heyitskrystal]

The scariest part of the the simulation is the term “chosen wife” and that they mention Jack had a previous relationship with his, the implication that some of these men have women trapped and unconscious who didn’t want them in the real world. Kidnapping incels? Scary stuff.

I believe there's a previous version of the script where Jack was just a stranger who was obsessed with Alice, and made her his "chosen wife" in the simulation... so yep, there's definitely a few women who didn't know their "husband" prior to arriving in Victory. as you said, scary stuff!

[@gggallin8279]

My main problem with the movie wasn’t even the acting of everybody but Pugh but rather how Olivia didn’t really seem to understand how mysteries work in a movie. The movie basically from minute 1 on rubs it into your face that there’s something wrong which kinda defeats the purpose of being mysterious when you already know that something‘s wrong. They should’ve kept the movie more ambiguous and use the final act as a resolve for the mystery instead of basically telling you from the start that there’s something wrong but then keep it ambiguous in a pretentious way to add length to the movie.

[@VideoGameAutopsy]

I just saw it for the first time. It’s not a bad movie, not by any stretch of the imagination. But when you break it down, there’s really nothing special about it. This movie is an excellent example of style over substance. You can have the best DP, the best costume designers, and the best actors in the business. But that means nothing if you don’t have a strong story to balance all that out. It felt like Wilde was trying to create her own modernized take on “The Stepford Wives”, but neither her, nor anyone involved stopped to think about what it was that made that movie so great.

Yeah especially when the whole point is to have the women be playthings for the men, while the men pay for the whole thing.

I wondered this as well. This is why i wanted it to be longer and more fleshed out because I assumed that they were still working for Frank. Maybe doing the kidnapping of the unwilling women.

[@aether1125]

The part about him dying in Victory equating to him dying in the real world is an interesting bit. I didn't even catch that plot hole when I watched the movie myself. However, I think the concept of dying in the simulation which causes you to die in the real world, in this movie reminds me of what happened in the first season of Sword Art Online. Essentially, the use of nerve gear (think really fancy and advanced VR headset) allowed them to fully dive into the games and move around seamlessly (like in this movie). However, they end up trapped in the game and if you died in the game you died irl. This was possible because (and don't quote me on this it's been a while since I've watched SAO) the nerve gear was able to connect to their nervous system as it put them in a temporary paralysis to keep their in-game movements from happening outside which could cause injury. So when they died in the game the gear essentially fried their brain resulting in their death in the real world. So long story short, I wonder if that's what they were playing at here but because we were rounding up to the end of the movie they just sort of glossed over how their death in Victory would translate into the real world. But using this logic, you don't have to replicate what killed them in the simulaiton. So even though the dude gets stabbed in the simulation, his physical wounds don't necessarily have to mimic that. He's just dead.

[@MyLittlecat1]

The nerve gear would shock them to death basically. The electricity wasn't properly adjusted so the headset would kill them through static.

[@DesTheEmpress]

YESSSS! THANK YOU FELLOW SAO WATCHER! ALSO, it makes sense for u to die in real life if u die in VR. It's like when u die in ur dreams ur likely to die in ur sleep. That's why the brain wakes u up before u die (like when ur falling but wake up before u hit the ground) if the mind believes ur dead, then it will stop transmitting signals to the heart. The BOOM, ur ded

[@ChaosBud]

Or it could be like The Matrix where your consciousness just dies as Morpheus states the body can not live without the mind.

in SAO the headsets had a microwave emitter in them, it would cook the brain if removed or if they died. Really bad way to force the Matrix style of vr.

The original writer for this film is Shane Van Dyke, grandson of Dick Van Dyke who has written Asylum films like Paranormal Entity, Transmorphers 2 and Titanic 2, along with Hollywood horror films like Chernobyl Diaries and The Silence...just thought that would be fun to know

[@superhotnutjob]

NO SHIT?! This has Asylum-stink all over it (no offense... I love a lot of schlocky Asylum movies, but they are their own brand of special.) But they definitely played it "fancier" and more stuck-up. I wish they had played it like all the regular Asylum greats. It's like the person who made it didn't realize it was supposed to be made as a joke.

[@sarahmajor5945]

It was! Thank you! Love Mr. Van Dyke, glad his grandson is doing well. Loved the Chernobyl Diaries.

@@brandoncole5533 I think you're missing the point of the Asylum reference. If you've not heard of The Asylum, they make the crappiest remake-style versions of good movies, and they tend to give them very similar names. The whole point is that the movies are stupid. May I recommend to you The Shark Side of the Moon?

I CAN RELATE TO FEELING TRAPPED, BUT I CAN'T RELATE TO LIKING IT. This movie left me with the message that happiness is better than freedom even though they weren't going for that lesson.

Show me that he basically kidnapped her with extra steps. Show me there's some type of injustice here.

I called the ending like 20 minutes in. I literally said “what if it’s like a matrix thing.” I said it JOKINGLY and I was disappointed to be right.

[@KAGENfilms]

This would’ve been a great episode of Black Mirror. But as it being a Hollywood movie it fell flat. I think this movie had too big of a budget than what it deserved and that messed with the writing and directing. The car chase scenes were silly, the plane crash was left unexplained, the characters didn’t have much development and it was hard to feel a connection with them. A great thriller makes the audience feel uncomfortable but intrigued, the lines of discomfort could’ve been pushed so much more to make this film better. Focus more on deep hypnosis and the reality of women and children being put in here against their will.

[@Bonbonbon739]

He also said that Margaret was fine and just needed treatment, so I wonder if he was actually telling the truth with that. Sorta a "half-truth" type of deal.

[@mikemcdonald1999]

@@blueismylove3128 I think it goes with the theme of the movie and Victory's "reality" being that it's the men's fantasy of what they want their lives to look like, the women are incidental and can presumably be drugged or adjusted to be more compliant

It applies to everyone in the simulation, that’s why they ensure everyone that it’s safe there . But clearly they didn’t consider women killing their husbands. 🙂

[@jasminedavis3030]

Honestly, this movie had the potential to be really amazing, like someone said, probably would've made good for TV series rather than a movie. There were just little touches and nuances I wished they touched on more. Like Margaret's son being 'taken away to punish her', like I want to know why she flew off the handle and ran off with her kid. Yes, I know they said it's because she saw something in the desert, but why did she go with her son? I hate it's just brushed aside and we don't hear or see Margaret again after the party scene--she and her entire story is just swept off as some ominous and literal housewives tale. The other wives too, like Peg who starts to question exactly WHAT their husbands do at work and what that rumbling is about, why are the children treated like stowaways? It's little nuances and incidences like that that are just swept aside and never really explained.

[@crucifieddemon7136]

Apparently the director changed a lot when Harry styles came into the scene, and she apparently had a relationship with him which probably played heavily into his character being changed.

I don't have the correct words to describe this -- the way this movie flows, reminded me of Wilde's performance as Quorra in Tron:Legacy (2010). As though Wilde's time as director for this project, is informed by her experiences surrounding that role of Quorra.

21:30 What in the story has shown her being “made to forget/remember” anything? What’s with the sudden line of questions? Also, they’ve been in Victory for who knows how long and she never asked where any of them met their husbands, had their weddings, or anything like that?

[@blueismylove3128]

The part about asking her friends where they met their husbands/backstory didn't really make sense to me either. It seems like they'd definitely would have talked about that earlier. Also, she started asking questions because of Margaret and when she went to the desert, that's one of the only things that made sense.
