Nice visuals for a low budget cyberpunk neo-noir thriller set in a future Paris where virtual life is so real that most of the people prefer to live in the virtual worlds, getting sick and weaker in real life (they are the Connected that lives on several verses - or virtual worlds).
Then are the hybrid ones part virtual, part real world and the natural world live ones - usually the government, criminal organizations and terrorist hybrid groups.
The story is around (obviously) a detective that lives in a hybrid mode after the loss of his love in a cyber attack that actually killed her and lots of people, doing jobs for several organizations, while trying to solve what happened - and he has a real work hacker that get his live, well hacking.
Her "soul" stays in the virtual world unaware of what happened outside - the cyber-terrorist organizations just want to "free" virtual world people from the addiction. Yes, the plot could be something real nice.
Guy-Roger Duvert (the writer and director) actually does a nice work in this independent movie, but falls shorts on the cliches and TV-like story and acting (trying to do a pseudo-social class deeper movie) - the protagonist Mike Dopud is just terrible.
The score gets half an star more due to the very nice visual effects on the futuristic Paris, on the costume design and gadgets. But I sort get why this one got so many awards and indications.
