We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
Believe it or not it's a comic book movie. Sorry, graphic novel. 
I didn't think it was a bad film, just an OK one. And yes, it's a film dealing with avatars that people "pilot". They don't need to look like themselves, or even an idealized version of themselves which can allow people to experience life as someone else.
But the sudden shut down was more of a "life without risk isn't a life worth living" message. It was a comment about how a technology that was meant to allow the minority among us who can't go out and interact with others due to injury/age/disease becomes corrupted so the rest of normal active society can choose to become shut-ins never leaving home. It's a voluntary Matrix because you rather have a risk free life through a proxy than direct physical contact with another human being.

Cheesy or not yes I Love that movie, and yes I have thought that this movie reminds me of COH. Just an hour or so before I saw this thread actually.
