Review of Virtuality

Virtuality (2009 TV Movie)
2/10
Incredibly bad and formulaic... is this all there is of it, I hope?
26 June 2009
I didn't begin watching this with any preconceptions; I didn't even know about it until minutes before it aired when I saw it in evening program listings. I do love a GOOD science fiction yarn, though, so I watched it. I was not rewarded. It was unbearably formulaic, and THEN it ended suddenly, seemingly right in the middle of the plot! There was no reward for watching, no plot resolution, no moral to the story. Was this some sort of a sneaky cliff-hanger ending for a planned series? I could find no hint of that, neither in the program ending nor program listings nor even here at IMDb. Mercifully this was all there is of it, it seems.

I find it unbelievable that Fox would have the audacity to air this: Fox is the same network that first abused and disrespected and then canceled a far better science fiction series, "Firefly". What's worse, Fox has a history of doing this: "Space: Above and Beyond", "Keen Eddie", and others.

Then Fox turns around and tries to feed us this SF sewage. Peter Berg, I think, should focus on acting, and Fox should stick with the horrid reality shows and repulsive animated vulgarity that pays the bills.
