Lol, they look like spermatozoa
great concept, good script but the acting could of been better
I didn’t buy the story. Gamers are not credible: they are supposed to be at the top of the leaderboard! And they play like morons (even sissies) fat boy is ridiculous. It’s doesn’t even explain “why”. What is the purpose of that CTI CEO ?
If this is the future of virtual reality then please don'#39;t call me up. Interesting concept but I lost interest near the end. Levels down rather than levels up. Game Over!
Rather enjoyed watching it. Good acting, interesting script. I recommend to watch the movie.
this movie is very scary #ShiftvW8

I caught this at the London Sci-Fi festival where it went down a storm. It has a great premise (a group of gamers take part in a life-like virtual reality game like Call of Duty but things are more dangerous than they first appear...). The production design and direction are superb even with a small budget and there are strong performances throughout. Great fun all round – highly recommended!
I really loved this film :) I saw it in the cinema and it kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish! It is full of cool twists, sprinkled with a good dash of humour too. (I didn't guess the plot twists which is always a sign of a good film for me!) Think Hunger Games, meets the Matrix - If you like sci-fi you have to see The Call Up!!
