Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Marguerite Ward The most original aspect of this film is the inclusion of animation which adds a fourth set of relationships to the three relationships in the live action part of the film. This fourth couple revolves around trust and leads one of the characters who is following the animated story, to change his own attitude to life. That's original. For all the characters, the world is ruled by their subconscious,something that is missed by most filmmakers today. This film is closer to something by Bunuel or Bergman. All the characters think they know what is happening to them, but they don't. Beautifully filmed in New York, this movie was a joy to watch and think about.

Martin F. Sorensen One of the pleasures of viewing a film is the discovery of what the filmmaker cares about. In this case, the writer and the director are the same, so it is doubly true. What the filmmaker cares about is how people miss each other in their daily lives. This is especially the case in the locale of the movie, New York City. Two of the characters do finally seem to find each other at the end, and two others do not deserve to find anyone, and the final two miss out and we are sorry for them. When they do miss each other and when they do find each other, we see them in the various picturesque (if that's the right term) scenes outside in New York.So I think that's what the filmmaker is telling us about, how difficult New York is for people to find each other, but also, especially in the subway, people can ultimately stay together. And that is the essence of all storytelling. The cinematography is spectacular, the acting superb, the dialog crisp. This film deserves a 10.

kvosbeck This film will challenge you. It has a totally innovative structure, more like a song, with verse-chorus-verse then a regular, boring Hollywood film structure.It delves into the lives of 6 interconnected New Yorkers. And it creates a bit of a rubick's cube game that it is up to the viewer to figure out. Music is AMAZING. Performances, especially Trieste Kelly Dunn and Macenzie Davis are off the charts. The video game story line is creepy and weird. It's almost like a David Lynch film. You hear the character as he is playing the game too. That is another way the director is playing with the audience's perspective.But again, you have to use your brain with this one. Its a romantic comedy, essentially, but its not Failure to Launch or 10 Things I Hate about You. It asks the viewer to participate in the creative act. It asks the viewer to make connections and be open to a different kind of structure. A lot of people won't be up for this, they would rather have corny jokes and recycled plot lines. Easy laughs and obvious plot twists. Then go watch Operation Dumbo Drop.It's a lyrical piece, haunting, but a brain is required to enjoy!

xackery Plato's Reality Machine pulls off what no other indie film has ever attempted - it explores modern issues of self-identity while weaving metaphoric video game world to explore the character's inner-lives. The cast is stellar and includes Trieste Kelly Dunn (Star of Showtime's 'Banshee'). The performances are powerful. Sorenson's direction is dead-on and his story-telling is economical and innovative. See this film and prepare yourself for a truly amazing indie film treasure. Wouldn't be surprised if this movie finds a big following with Machinima fans as well.
