When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

One of Surrender's good, early efforts. This is from the same director as Femalien and the two films are pretty comparable in quality. There are several sex scenes all tied around the concept of the main character's trip to a "virtual reality" studio. If the technology shown really existed, the company's profits would exceed those of GM, IBM, Coca Cola and Exxon-Mobil combined. :)A couple of real highlights in the film were the strip club scene and the wet lesbian/three way. But all of the scenes were good.Given the low price and high quality of the video, this is an easy recommendation.

I've seen the R and Unrated versions of this film, and neither are much fun unless your a fan of "couples movies". Elizabeth Kaitan (complete with Hungarian accent)plays a young woman who receives a gift from her boyfriend that allows her to have "virtual encounters" at some cyber-shop. This is just a bunch of scenes from various other films with just the above storyline added in. Not even the appearance of XXX star Jill Kelly and a good striptease by someone dressed as a cop (with man made puppies) can save this uninspired movie.

...but this isn't one of them, although this wasn't a total waste.I've seen most of them and, like other guys, F-Fwd to the sex scenes (for those of you looking for celluloid with class, aka plot, you won't find it in any of Surrender's stuff - that'd be akin to me expecting my employer to give raises, hahahaha...). But I don't drool over them (ran out of drool), rather I look for some level of realism in the sex scenes, the "eloquence of their efforts" (reality of their faking). I guess I've grown bored with the ho-hum 'undress and caress w/o impress' scenes. Any Shannon Tweed flick has at least 3 of these scenes - all of her films were meant for insomniacs!I look for the usual giveaway positions such as the way over-used 'girl riding the guy's thigh' scene, both standing upright with him behind her, either of them grinning as though the camera operator just farted (look like Ken & Barbie dolls with their super-plastic 'ain't I beautiful?' smile), any tell-tale sign of the G-cover (not the G-string, this is a white stickem patch meant for guy's genitals), etc. - you get the picture. After a few of these rentals you'll start thinking of better uses for your money, like firestarters.Even though this flick was thin based on my earlier mentioned expectations in realism it had a couple of semi-believable moments, thus I dub it a 'watchable' status for the rest of the testosteroned-Thogs out there, but as I said earlier there are better ones!

When I saw Virtual Encounters... the whole movie, it was on a tremendously bad dubbing I made from my friend's tape... unfortunately, when HE taped it, it was kinda without audio for the majority of it.But let me tell you something: Without the audio, it makes little or no difference. You could tell exactly what Elizabeth Kaitan was saying (most of the time it was "This is very very strange"), and frankly, what the computer was saying made no difference to me.But something I want to know: are they really having sex? Granted I'm not necessarily the biggest aficionado of the Surrender Cinema/Soft-porn industry, but it really, really looks almost genuine to me. Ah well... it's probably that all the guys aren't rising fully to the occasion (but if I'M in the shower with two beautiful busty women, I probably would, regardless of the big chunky camera zooming in on my butt).Ah well... maybe the sequel's better. Now to find it.
