Just added it to the top of my netflix cue.  It'll probably be horrible, but theres always that small chance it will surprise me.

The trailer kind of reminded me of eXistenZ which was a pretty good virtual reality video game movie.

Reminds me of eXistenZ or the 13th floor. (I liked eXistenZ)

Well I just watched the movie and it wasn't horrible.  The special effects are awful, but since it's supposed to be in-game graphics, they still work.  The storyline is predictable, but is pretty well done.  It was better then I expected.

Overall I give the movie a C+

I watched it too... it was pretty much unwatchable except for Tupenga's rack.
