The Game Philosopher

It is an okay movie, but its clear that the style of acting used by Tom Cruise in this movie is not genuine. He tries too hard to imitate Jim Carrey which is shows that he was not used to This would explain why some reviews say that he "lacks depth," and this shows very clearly with the comedic elements within the acting- it comes off as more awkward than funny. On the storyline, it is a good story and the earlier Spanish 1997 version may have been better. However, this retelling in dreams does not have any smoothness to it at all ,and it comes off as perversely weird and devoid of understanding. Had they based the interrogation scenes in a more " Call of Duty Black Ops" manner, or even had less interviews and kept the interviews to the intro and ending, it would have been told much better. A unified plot, as Aristotle claimed in the Poetics, would rely more on the experiences of the character. This movie, being with incomplete episodes in the life of the character, could not at all tell the character's life in a sufficient manner and the story becomes a cringing mess. A movie which is to be forgotten while the greater glories of Tom Cruise, namely- Last Samurai, Top Gun, A Few Good Men, Far And Away, Mission Impossible, etc becomes a stronger memory than this cringing movie. The ending itself becomes the saving point where everything is brought together ,but without any unity prior to it, the movie barely saves itself with such a beautiful ending. This movie, though, becomes nothing more than a small bruise in the prolific career, and body of Tom Cruise movies. So long as you can tolerate Tom Cruise's cringing performance, his team often makes up for the poor acting which makes it a decent movie to watch. So, I must call it a mediocre movie in terms of its ambition that becomes close but no cigar. If it had been filmed now, nineteen years after the production, it would have been with better techniques and the film style would have been better portrayed. This is only , of course, assuming Tom Cruise is either not in it or if he would not steal the style of Jim Carrey.

As someone with 15+years HEMA experience, I can say this is one of the most realistic sword fighting games I have ever played . The movement is a tiny bit clunky though ,but VR is stil in its early years and this should change with time. Also, it would be nice ot half sword the sword to bayonet your enemies, but it doesn't have that feature. Please update that into the game.

I am playing it on Quest. Genrally speaking, there are some mediocre games on the Quest, but you also have several VR classics htat are good too. This game, I bought along with a fitness game which I will not be playing as much as I am too busy playing this immersive shooting tgame that really puts you into the combat. It used to be that if you wanted realistic game play, you get a few buddies together and play airsoft out in the woods somewhere. Now, you candownload this game for a more than reasonable price(its cheap) and have the most immersive shooter that has ever been made. However, they sell also these holders for your controllers/wands that you can actually make it feel even more realistic, but this is not necessary as its not too hard to play.It only takes a few seconds to learn the gameplay mechanics, and it works. Oh and here is some advce, you will not be able to go prone or crouch unless you do it manually ,and you can't really go prone on VR without possibly hitting something so you will need to get into crouch position some with your legs which might actually be good for you in health anyway. I love this game.
