This is a must see. My wife and I saw it yesterday. Has a cool arcade scene too. Then I look closer and see my old air hockey table that I just sold! Cool that it made it into the movie. :)
 
I will respectfully disagree with this review. I don't want to pick a fight or anything. But after seeing this movie tonight, I would recomend you save your money. Admittedly, this was a great idea for a movie but a poor implementation. I could understand if this was just an ultraviolent movie, but its also chopped full of tired cliche' japanese pseudo rave scene debauchery bs that we've seen in far too many other movies. Alot of gratuitous nudity with out-of-focus shaky camera shots. I hadn't seen camera work this shaky since cloverfield. Almost no character development between the player and the gamer. And a plot that seemed to go nowhere slowly. Save your money for better looking flicks. Better yet go rent Hackers. Go rent Robot Jox for that matter. Two thumbs way down on this one. But hey, that's just 2 bits.

I have to agree with this.
