Totally disagree with the comment with using the excuse of changing the story of the book to suit the film. Certain things have to be changed, but when you change 80% of the characters and story just to make it more appealing to the masses. It's the worst thing in the world, I don't have anything in particular against the film. I just wished they didn't name it after the book. Now the real story of the book will have to wait a decade for a remake of the film.Hollywood have done some good book adaptations recently, e.g hunger games, gone girl, girl with a dragon tattoo(u.s version). I was kinda hoping they were over taking a book and converting it to a mass market appealing movie. Bring truthful to the book can still have mass market appeal. They absolutely ruined ghost in the shell.

This is not the first movie that is centered on virtual reality though. There have been far more provocative ones in the past. Like Videodrome in 1983.

Brainstorm released around the same time a Videodrome, it was the Oculus vs Vive of the time.
I preferred the hardware level geekyness of the Brainstorm system over the lack of control of the Videodrome transmissions. Although Vive had Debbie Harry, I mean Videodrome.
Then there was the Flatliners approach of having near death experiences through technology.... Pimax if you will.
