Finished the film last night.  It was laborious to watch.  The  
best parts are [1] the opening scenes with the lady from the  
shower, and [2] about the last 30 minutes of the film where the  
kids suddenly realize they are affecting realworld events.  But  
the whole "rescue" is a silly mess.

But the dialog is overly bad, acting is worse. It wastes too  
much time with the romance angles amongst the teens. The
romance life of the rambo-wannabie hero and his lady reporter  
friend adds nothing.

How the real-world Terminal Entry interface even shows up on a  
gaming network is unexplained.

I was watching the credits and didn't see any credit for "Lady  
Electric" (Barbara Edwards) ..the lady from the shower.

Nevertheless, it was an interesting trip to the past.
