The quality of the avatar textures and animation died circa 2006. If this is what VRChat looks like, thanks but no thanks. Appalling! If you'd like to see something with modern textures and MOCAP animations check out Second Life.

I can smell the grease, the heart problems and i can hear the crack in the floor for every, very few, steps they take in their day, they act as if this game is somehow a real life and it is gross, it bothers me and the embaressment i feel is honestly immesurable, this is the peak of human technology yet all other time periods and the spirits of our ancestors look down on us and aspecially the people in this "documentary" and shake their head in disgust and shame to their family name and the effort they put in to make a good life possible for us yet this is how we spend it, getting married in a damn game the end of humanity is close or well we can always hope...

This movie really does capture comunitys of people who live in a new age scifi Virtural world , while other documentrys have tackeled virtural platforms like 2nd life there really so something diffrent about the under interacion of VR vs anything done before.

This film was so touching, the care that Joe Hunting had for his subjects is so tangible. This film could of easily portrayed this world as a strange, scary place full of creeps. But instead it lingers on the beauty, love, and tenderness of the space. Each of the subjects speak with so much maturity, openness, and respect. I walked away from the film feeling immersed in a new world, full of amazing new friends. I can understand why this film may of not landed with some, but I personally felt inspired and uplifted by this documentary. It is definitely on the slow side at times, and does not have a large, overarching story that most films follow. But that was what the film is about, its about just being with these people, in this time, learning about their lives when all of us were struggling IRL. I would give this a watch, for sure, just keep an open mind.

This is not a film, it is a collection of scenes displaying the worst ramifications of technology. I feel genuine pity for these people, and experience fear knowing that they just accept their current condition with glee. They refuse to accept reality, instead choosing to hide away like disgusting little socially inadept losers. It is truly a horrific viewing experience to watch these young people willingly throw their lives away to play pretend with other like-minded losers. A world where this is accepted is a world where we have failed, these people have been failed by everyone around them and now they can longer function as normal, healthy people. They are gross, awkward losers who would rather live their entire lives in their rooms then go out and experience the world around them. I fear for the future of humanity, and so should you.

As "We Met In Virtual Reality" (2022 release; 91 min) opens, the movie screen informs us that "The journey began in December, 2020." We watch people in a bar, then at a Community Meeting of some sort. We meet Jenny, who is teaching in a most deaf community. Ray, deaf herself, also teaches there. At this point we are 10 min into the movie. Couple of comments: this movie is the debut of writer-director Joe Hurting. Here he gives us a glimpse into the virtual world where people, using avatars, interact with other people (also using avatars of course). What really threw me for a loop is that this is supposedly a documentary but it never left like a documentary to me. Instead it feels like a very scripted and highly stylistic look at today's dating scene as it plays out on-line and in other virtual settings. I must give Hurting props for the unusual visuals that he brings this in. But also strangely off-putting. When a male avatar asks a female avatar: "will you marry me in VRChat?" and she says "yes", it felt a little weird for me. Bottom line: I was quite confused by this movie experience and didn't know what all to make of it, to be honest. "We Met in Virtual Reality" premiered at this year's Sundance to positive buzz, and the movie is currently rated 96% Certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie started streaming on HBO Max last week and I couldn't wait to check it out. Alas, it was not the movie that I expected, and in fact I just felt confused. Regardless, if you are interested in what life is like in virtual reality, I'd encourage you to check it out, and draw your own conclusion.

Not sure how this even got nominated for an award, but watched it anyways, knowing it wasn't going to be that great and wouldn't portray how VRChat truly is. Doesn't speak about any of the dark side of the game that represents a big majority of the game. I also don't see this as more than just an advertisement for the game itself. Living in a virtual world is nothing new. People have been doing this for over five years now. VRChat has been around since 2014, and I was one of the first people to play it. Other titles such as Second Life, I was very active in, and once VRChat came out, I gave it a try and still sometimes play it to this day with friends. This just screams "following the lives of two 'e-girls' on VRChat" To those watching that haven't played the game before, just know that you're seeing a false reality being portrayed here in this movie.

No plot. No underlying message. Nothing to remember or get out of this movie. It's literally like watching an interactive chat room for 90mins. It's just an advertisement meant to give the appearance of a movie.
