Threshold concept. ExistenZ.

Narrative -

The film violenty jumps from scene to scene leaving the audience somewhat confused. The non-linear way its jumps from reality to virtual reality keeps the audience guessing about what is actually happening, and draws attention away from the dull dialogue. Although i can see how the sense of confusion can add to the surprise when the end is revealed.

Interactivity

Due to the confusing storyline, I feel that the film actually interacts with the audience quite well. The audience are thrown into action very early without much dialogue. Therefore the audience must try to understand whats going on quite early before getting lost in the plot when its gets thicker.

Convergence

The idea of reality/fantasy itself works really well but is not used in the best way. I belive that using two conflicting genre's needs good dialogue to back it up to enable the audience to get to grips with the film before its gets even more confusing.
