Addiction like this is being programmed into the minds of young people today and the full addiction will be achieved in another decade. It is planned it’s like a giant opium house where everyone is welcome and enter at a very young age. this may be the most insidious and diabolical communist plan ever devised by the United States federal government total addiction to their every whim and desire resulting in complete slavery of the mind I am glad I am not part of it nor will I ever succumb to their plan is I am still here nuff said

That was superb. Oscar level attention to detail with stunning acting. If Felicity is overpaid as you told one poster, I can guarantee you that you don't pay her enough for the acting chops she's developed. Poor Logan! I was pleasantly surprised to see that you didn't go for the obvious and easy out of having a couple of cops finding their bodies later. Given your Lady and the Tiger ending, the possibilities of what Felicity's ultimate outcome of this misadventure give a thinking person a lot to contemplate.

Metaverse meets fentanyl on steroids. .. remarkably well done, excellent balance between human character study under duress mapped against a commercialized, highly addictive, pseudo matrixlike commodity, and a glimpse into a plausible tech implementation. Very well acted, the entire story fits together well, without having to rely on excessive CGI props to deliver the experience.

Wow. Just wow. It reminds me of my addictions. Been clean now going on 10yrs free of opioids and cocaine/crack, alcohol. Anything I could get my hands on really. Im so grateful I lived through it. So I know that if this tech ever popped up and I tried it. I'd be a goner! So that's a hard NO THANKYOU from me! So scarey. Great movie. Gave me a good reminder as to why I got clean.

This is an all too accurate description about the social media addiction too many people suffer of. I've been addicted to quite a lot of stuff, but I've been lucky enough to stay away from social media. I'm clean now, and I hope people will get weaned of off the nah not so destructive social media. Great piece of work to the entire crew.

i nearly left because of how DUMB the first few mins are. would have been better if the 'game' or SIM world was actually enticing - but give this short a chance, it's quite good.
Hit's close to home, for me - GAMING & SCREEN ADDICTION is a real problem for me. .. .. .

Total domination of the mind by ego driven mad men it is the total separation from God to a world ruled by the ego. It is happening now in the real world because this bankrupt country must rely on cash flow to stay viable what a shame sinking to the lowest possible degradation of human kind

I have a question: Is this based on the book Mindgames from Pat Cadigan It gave me an eerie the feeling of similarity as if this is an adaption of sorts. An answer would be highly appreciated, thanks.
Excellent short, well acted, written, directed, HQ made - thank you all involved!

Humanity is halfway there now, I'm late 60's and cant put phone down.
Every time i take a break i turn it on. crazy.
I've got to stop this.
Excellent actors, this is at the top of all shorts I've seen.
This movie is up there with the best.

reply

the production quality and cinematography is superb.
caught myself saying oh i feel you sis. several times when she ends up with no fix, this mix of frustration and apathy is portrayed in a very believable and relatable manner.
great work!

reply

This film totally sucked me in. Something so terrifyingly addictive and mind altering set in the present with the effects brilliantly performed by the cast. Also loved the sound design. All round a great piece of filmmaking.
reply

Well fortunately for me I grew up without social media so not addicted, and never did this VR thing so never got addicted. I only have two addictions. My art hobby and my two cats. At least that’s staying in reality.
reply

That ringing noise when she takes the devise of Logans head I hear a similar sound all the time none stop sometimes it's quite sometimes extremely loud when it's like that it drives me nuts.
reply

General hype about VR immersivity: this short. Reality: a slightly different video game at best. Most of the time, it's just a lame port of normal game which fans try to improve by (broken) mods.
reply

Well if you can please her you can please me, haha! I surprisingly enjoyed this. Probably because I don't feel bad for people who make dumb choices and become addicts, good film!
reply

Same nightmare I faced coming off of oxycodone prescription pain medication some years back. They do not tell you it is heroin only a little stronger and a lot more addictive.
reply

MAJOR MINDBLOW MISSED! I was hoping it ended as a inception-style similation inside a similation. The glitching of real life was the possible indicator. Otherwise, awesome
reply

No sympathy for any of the characters from me. As they say, what goes up must come down. It’s a hard crash into reality when you try to give it up. It never works.
reply

Not watched any of these in like 2 years. It's a shame to come back for this. Great idea horrible execution. Can't wait to play vr game like S. A. O. though.
reply

This is exactly like Tranq dope, they are unconcious lookimg to us but where they go in their heads qho knows, but this is the furutre of addiction dependancy

At 3: 55 she says: man im hungry. how much is a double bacon cheeseburger. and a salad
$1 million rupules.
Naa theyll have them eating vape.

reply

So close to reality! We are headed as a species in this direction. Great short film, very convincing, good acting and scene setting. Excellent work.
reply

We are closer to this state than people realize. Escaping shit reality instead of doing something about is sorely too true.
reply

Extremely gritty and human, which are odd things to say about virtual reality. Great work by all. Classic science fiction.
reply

This dystopian future is already in play and this film is a stark warning of this tsunami of unregulated technology.
reply

WAIT! Does the colorful knife set come with serrated blades That’s what I’ve been looking for all over the place.

The opening scene is how I feel adding things to my eBay watchlist that both me and the algorithm know I'll never buy
reply

I like how casually she rapes him at 5: 50 and how no one talks about it in the comments. Imagine the genders reversed.

Proceeds to Apple Vision Pro Honey, we lost The House, Family & Life Bundle Pack Upgrade for just $3, 500
reply

Any VR that requires you to poke through your skin and inject stuff should be a red flag to you.
reply

We're halfway there. look at how everyone is plugged in to their phones and social media.
reply

dem video games can consume your entire life. but if you have no life to start with, why not
reply

As cool as virtual is; AR is the real future.
On that note; Time to pop into Alyx.

reply

This is one of the best things I've seen on DUST. Solid writing, directing, and acting.
