Virtual Girl

OK, I really haven't sat through many soft-core flicks because they are just terribly boring.

But there are three good reasons to remember this film. Two of them are on sex kitten Charlie Curtis. And, the third is that this is the funniest, campiest script I have hear in a long time.

The lines -- whether deliberately written as a parody or not -- are just devastatingly funny. For example: "if you're not happy all the time with your wife, I can take up the slack."

or,

Programmer: "You're asking me to work on a cyber-sex toy for chronic masturbators!"

Boss: "They're our client base."

It's just a totally outrageous, deadpan acted, mindless, cheesy looking story. It's sort of a soft-core TRON, with poor sap Max Dixon (yep, now there's a stud stage name for ya) wresting to save his virtue in cyberspace.

Curtis plays the role of a virtual-reality sex doll to the hilt, and gives a whole new nuance to "hard drive" and "interface." In one arresting scene she morphs into various ladies who all manage to have the same bra cup size for the sake of, er, film continuity.

If you want to do your own home-grown R-rated version of "Mystery Science Theater" this is the flick to watch.

This film is about a programmer's life falling apart because of a virtual lover program.

In the opening scene we are already treated with a lengthy sex session in a fantasy room. I thought that this film was just a soft porn film, but the amazing thing is that there really is a plot. The plot is plausible and gripping, and it could really have been developed into a major film.

Many a times, the graphics of this film looks like a college graduate production. It is probably because of the low budget, but this explains why the film went straight to video.

Yes, this had me expecting a lot, but alas, it didnt deliver a lot.

The girl(s) are great, especially the computerised method of changing from one girl into another seamlessly - phew !,really great - but apart from this aspect, the film really was lacking. It is a reasonable story, though a few along similar lines are around now without the nudity.

Excellent photography, as usual, with the girls.

I'm not sure what I expected here. The dark poster and sparse description on AmazonPrime led me to believe it would be some kind of goofy 90s cyberpunk horror/thriller along the lines of The Lawnmower Man.

What I got instead was an incredibly goofy, extremely low budget simulated softcore porn type thing. It opens up with an extremely early-90s feel and bad CG and overly dramatic sci-fi music reminiscent of "Babylon 5" which feels like a complete lie as to the actual tone and plot of the film.

The plot is some people develop a virtual reality AI woman to play with and have sex with whoever purchases the software to use. Inexplicably, the woman, called "Virtue" (as in Virtual) kills two of the test guys, and the project is e-assigned to John Lewis, who is married to an attractive woman and has a baby and is thus seemingly immune to Virtue's clumsy flirtation attempts.

There's lots of bare breasts, particularly as Virtue starts switching through various bodies to tempt John with (all portrayed by different women), but none of it is any more than you'd see in an R-rated film. There's also several sex scenes which are similarly not hard enough to stray from a standard R-rating. The number of these tame sex scenes might be excessive for a standard R, but they come across more as tedious than in any way titilating or compelling.

The acting is very bad and the plot is very dumb and suffers from a last minute twist which makes no sense.

While I grew up understanding the early-mid days of the internet and the relative scarcity of pornography compared to today, I am very certain that even as early on as 1998 they had actual pornography, hardcore and softcore, on video and on HBO and on the Spice channel and the likes.

As such, I have no idea who or what this film is for. It's not sexual enough to be a softcore porn, and it's so uninspired and pointless everywhere else (acting, directing, writing, etc) to justify watching.

90s erotic sci fi thriller that has a decent amount of fake 90s hooters on display, and an even more amount of crappy 90s CGI. Other than a blink and you'll miss it scene where a guy's head CG explodes, there's nothing much here and it's also really really dumb.
