Game Breaker: Unawakened City (2018)

Game Breaker: Unawakened City is a Chinese sci-fi, virtual reality movie. The movie is about an orphan girl who accidentally enters a holographic game designed by her own father, her journey to save the players in the game, and to find out the mystery of her father's murder. This movie reminds me of the Tron movies and the anime Sword Art Online. They all take place in VR games. The visuals in the virtual reality world in Game Breaker: Unawakened City are stunning. The cast did pretty well in playing their characters; I just wished that the movie was slightly longer so there would be more character development. The soundtrack was pretty good and fit the movie. Overall, if you're into the sci-fi genre then I would recommend you give this movie a try.

better as series

acting - bland and awkward, especially when it's only the two (the guy and girl main characters), when they found the remnants, it became bearable

story progress - the beginning and ending is confusing, the first 5 min mark was notable but typical, but the next scenes, when the girl main character entered the virtual world was confusing, the shift of events at first were not that clear - if it's a dream or virtual reality, the ending was also confusing, it wasn't clear when did she met South Pole again, after the restaurant w/ note scene, it wasn't clear anymore if the "Luxuria" was a dream, an illusion, reality (there's the floating spy camera surveillance something that caught them in the game so how), or game (but how when it was destroyed already?)

overall plot - this could be better as a series, even if it's just 8 eps long, this was, questions would be answered and the story build up would be better

if you want the same genre, I would recommend 19th floor, a chinese series, similar but better.
