About This Movie

Virtual Obsession is an interesting blend of sci-fi and thriller elements, with a distinct sense of urgency. Directed by Mick Garris, the film delves into the ethical dilemmas of consciousness transfer and the implications of cryogenics. The pacing is somewhat uneven, but it builds a moody atmosphere that draws you into its existential themes. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, give it a 90s charm that complements the story's tech-focused premise. The performances, especially from the lead, are engaging enough to keep you invested in the characters' fates. It's not for everyone, but it certainly offers a different take on how we might grapple with mortality and the future of our minds.

Released as a TV movie on CBS.Standard 4:3 aspect ratio, typical for late 90s broadcasts.Features practical effects over CGI, enhancing its nostalgic feel.Mick Garris, known for his Stephen King adaptations, directed this film.
