After "the prestige", that was rather disappointing, for me.
My favorite movie is "the thirteenth floor", or the corresponding
novel "SIMULACRON III" (Daniel Galouze).
According to some people, MATRIX is full of "allusion" to "conscience
& mécanisme" but I can't see it without falling asleep. I still don't
know if it is comp-correct, like simulacron III is.
Boring and not quite sexy, but I would have love it, I guess, if I was
12 years old.

Some more I can add that I enjoyed:
Adjustment Bureau
Inception
Open Your Eyes (Spanish language, with subtitles).
These are mainly virtual reality type movies.
I'm going to add some of the others mentioned to my DVD service queue.
Cheers
