Gamebox 1.0

It was free so I had low expectations, but this movie was actually pretty good. It is worth at-least one watch.

It was free, so I did not expect much in terms of production value, but I was pleasantly surprised by a decent story. I was very iffy about watching it in the first few minutes, because I spotted a lot of annoyances, including the fact that the player was pressing both the trigger and the 'a' button while they only shot in Halo. They should be jumping rapidly, too!

Anyway, this was a good movie, and I loved the concept behind it. It is a little bit The Matrix and a little bit Total Recall. It has a lot of replay value. Ha, see what I did there? Watch this movie, but once you watch it, you can't stop. Okay, you can, but only once you beat it.

Well, I managed to finish it. The actors were ok. The end was a bit cheesy, but all in all it isn't the worst movie Hulu has put up on its site and that is saying alot.

P.s.:
No, I'm not a shill for PBS; but while you're there ('Future States') you might want to also check out the 'Asparagus' short -- the others are only so-so. See 1 other reply

Conceptually interesting mix of 'Tron' and 'Total Recall'. Unlike many reviewers, I did not have a problem with the low-budget CGI; to me it only serves to enhance and delineate gaming sequences.

There are a number of sub-plot "red herrings" to keep you guessing as to where the movie will ultimately take you; but if you're paying attention . . . [insert spoiler here]

While deserving of a bigger budget, it's the story that counts here; so go ahead and press 'Start' now.

At first I didn't notice but yeah you're right. You can't see the driver and for some reason his arms are tied to the steering wheel. Not entirely sure what that means.

@ Jeni Chi - It's perfectly fine to criticize a movie you like. See 5 other replies

Tags are keywords or category labels that can help you and others find videos on Hulu. They also classify videos for later recall. You can tag videos yourself by simply checking the box next to a popular tag for a video or by using the "add" field to create a new tag. Click on any tag — "comedy" for example — to discover other videos similarly tagged by you or other users. Because tags are reviewed by Hulu, there may be a delay in surfacing your tags. The most relevant tags are sorted by category for the rest of Hulu to see. You may assign up to 30 tags for any video or show; to review all of your tags, see the Tags section on your profile page.

Your tags may be visible to other users on Hulu. You should not use:

Profane or obscene language
Tags that are inciting or spiteful
Tags that might harass, abuse or threaten members of the community
Tags that may reveal your personal information or any personal information about children under age 13
Tags that promote illegal or immoral conduct
Tags containing special characters or more than 50 characters
