Watch the movie “The Thirteenth Floor”
- Barbing 1y agoThis is somewhat unusual: 28% on the Tomatometer, but 7 out of 10 on IMDb. Beyond its relevancy to the parent comment, would you consider it a good movie yourself? (for a random/average HN commenter to watch)
- c-hendricks 1y agoIt didn't do well critically, but audience scores on many platforms are 60-70%. It came hot on the heels of The Matrix, has similar themes, but nowhere near as ... everything compared to Matrix. I'd bet the only reason it did so poorly critically is due to the timing of the release. It's a fine movie though.
- Barbing 1y agoThank you :)
- bonoboTP 1y agoIf you like Matrix, Memento, Truman Show, Black Mirror (San Junipero, Bandersnatch), Inception, Interstellar, 12 Monkeys etc. you may also like it. These are not necessarily thematically aligned but based on vibes they cluster near it for me. I definitely enjoyed it many years ago as a younger person.
- Barbing 1y agoNice, thanks :)
- self 1y agoThree movies with overlapping themes came out in mid-1999: The Matrix, The Thirteenth Floor, and eXistenZ (probably in that order of box office revenue).
- Barbing 1y agoAh interesting thanks!
