Rating: Not Rated
Movie Release Date: August 28, 2009
DVD Release Date: March 2, 2010
Plot 411: Documentary about a technology genius' who predicts the future of the internet.
Review: This movie was pretty trippy because of its accurate portrayal of our everyday lives as it merges with technology. The film follows Josh Harris, a dot com wiz who was worth billions in the '90s and his artistic creations and visions of the future. His ideas were way ahead of his time, and what seemed to be a social experiement back then is pretty darn close to reality today. He created a quasi-society where everything was filmed and captured, broadcasted and watched. It was the YouTube and Facebook of its time. People willingly signed up for this 30-day experiment and all of its excesses. Josh's social experiment revealed the innate human desire to control and manipulate. It also captures a movement similar to the flower children of the '60s. The people initially enter into this society with altruistic dreams of art and progress, yet it devolves into quite a bit of chaos in the end.
Watch It: For an accurate depiction of today's society that was predicted more than 15 years ago.
Skip It: As the harsh reality of of it is that this film is graphic in its portrayal of the human condition at its best and worst and the truths that are revealed about our society is not all that pretty.
