Is anyone planning on seeing it?
I won't lie, I'm a huge Harry fan, though the premise appeals to me anyway so I would see it regardless.
I have tickets for Wednesday.

I saw it. I see a lot of films, I’m not a big hits only cinema goer, maybe go 3x a week sometimes. It was awful. Looks amazing so well done to set design, but very poor plot line covered many many times other films in much better ways. Harry Styles performance was just bland and nothing. There is nothing that makes you want to keep watching except Florence Pugh. She carries it entirely.

I’m glad I went but it’s all so very obvious and just embarrassing at times.

Just got back and agree with this. The teens were stifling laughter at points.

Yup - what was the point? .
Not a clue. And why did the kid have a toy one?
Well that went over my head 😂
And how was their apartment kept functioning?
Programming? If cracked into a bowl or pan a yolk appears?
How could the doctor be in two places?
Tbh I hadn't realised they were going back to reality 😂

I saw the trailer and it did not make me want to see the film. Much as I think Florence Pugh is an excellent actress.

I enjoyed it and awarded it 7.3657/10

Just back from watching this and thought it was rubbish. The set and styling was fantastic but the actual story was awful.

Saw this yesterday and I'm still puzzling over all the questions thrown up by the ending;

SPOILERS

We're told that if you die in the virtual world you die in real life, if this was a VR headset freedom of movement thing then I could grasp that if you stab someone in VR they're stabbed in real life, but Alice is tied to the bed in the real life set up, how could she have done any real physical damage to Jack?

DH claims that the idea is if your mind is so entirely immersed in VR then your body would just stop living if your brain thinks you've died, but Jack isn't entirely immersed, he disconnects daily to go to work.

And when she wakes up from the VR world, presumably she's still strapped down, only with Jack's dead body next to her? What happened then??

And as above; the explosions? The plane? If he could suddenly earn enough to support them both once Victory came along, why couldn't he have done before? (Not that she'd have wanted him to).

Far too much left unanswered for me. Florence Pugh was superb though, and it's never a chore to look at Harry for a bit.

Spoilers...

And when she wakes up from the VR world, presumably she's still strapped down, only with Jack's dead body next to her? What happened then??

Yes this was a massive cop out - she just comes to gasping so no tricky questions about how she now earns a living, explains the dead body, reconnects with everyone ...

So did I, although I love Florence Pugh (I'm also apparently the only person on the planet who has no idea who 'Harry' is - he just looks like somebody's kid to me).

It did look good, but that was it.

I was really disappointed. I felt like I was watching an episode of Black Mirror with incredible production values and a shonky plot.

Kolarbri · 28/10/2022 18:37

Saw it today. Florence Pugh was fantastic.,Who told Harry Sykes he could act! He should stick to warbling. All the charisma of a lettuce!

The oral sex scene was completely gratuitous and cringy!
I read that the character of frank was based on Jordan Peterson!

Kolarbri · 28/10/2022 19:07

Styles!

arghtriffid · 27/06/2023 13:03

I think it would have been better as a series not a film. I liked a lot of it and think HS would have become better if there were more episodes etc. It was an interesting idea.

I saw it and loved the cinematography and costumes. Harry Styles wasn’t as bad as I expected and I enjoyed it, but on reflection it was a bit, empty?

SPOILERS

  1. The earthquakes were never explained.
  2. why was there a plane?
  3. Why would it have been a programmed so that the men would die. How would that even work as it’s virtual reality.
  4. why did no one notice Florence Pugh was missing?!
  5. why were the eggs missing yolks?
  6. was the brainwashing / medical treatment happening in real life?
  7. How did Harry Styles earn enough to pay for all this?

It felt a bit like a poorly explained black mirror episode.

Late to the party but I've just seen it as it's on Sky now and it was extremely like a Black Mirror episode with John Hanman iirc!

I enjoyed it but guessed when was going on , Florence was great as she always is but there are very few great films these days.

I recently watched this on a plane. I assumed my confusion over the plot was because of editing, but maybe not.

visually, it’s stunning. Florence Pugh and Chris Pine are brilliant. Harry Styles can’t act to save his life, although this was not news to me as I’ve seen My Policeman. He managed to make the oral sex scene about the most unsexy thing I’ve ever had to cringe through.

No-one seems to be mentioning the 50s music that played throughout. I loved it (being an oldie). However, the film left me frustrated. What message/s, really, are we supposed to be taking away from this film?

imfae · 24/09/2025 23:13

I watched it and agree with those who have already commented . Certainly style over substance and even then “Mad Men “ did it much better . Florence Pugh was great in it . Usually find Harry Styles reasonably attractive, but not in this . Not sure if it was the character he played .
I must admit I did fall asleep whilst watching it and then had to rewind . Not sure if I watched it all -was still confused or if completely down to the plot . Can’t say I am desperate to watch again to try and make some sense of it .
