With OtherLife, mere seconds in real life feel like hours or days of exciting adventures. As Ren and her colleagues race around the clock to launch OtherLife, the government muscles in to use the drugs as a radical solution to prison overcrowding. They will create virtual cells where criminals serve long sentences in just minutes of real time. When Ren resists, she finds herself an unwilling guinea pig trapped in a prison cell in her mind. She must escape before she descends into madness, and then regain control of OtherLife before others suffer the same fate.

Too predictable, and it fell for the overused simple plot: Evil partner wants to make money on another's work. Could have presented better ethical dilemmas or even finished a full story, but instead it became lost in imaginary worlds and fear of technology. I'm guessing the funding for the movie ran out and they just dumped what they had on us. But, the acting was good, and main character likable.

I really great concept, with the visuals to support it. This may be relatively low budget (I didn't check the exact number/budget), but it sure does the most of it. We get a stellar idea, a decent acting group together and it all works quite nicely together.There may be an issue of a bit of charisma that is missing here and there to really heighten up the whole thing (a bit more character work if you will), but if that were the case, we probably would have gotten ourselves a classic. As it is, this is an entertaining, yet flawed little Science Fiction movie, that know what is is and knows what it wants to tell us. Enjoy the craziness and the quite interesting take on what our future could look like ...

Not bad, certainly not great but not bad. I believe given bigger budget and better planning the staff of this movie would create something a lot better.

I was not expecting much from the movie, but I was positively impressed. The story is very engaging, and one can relate with the main character easily. The performance could have been more intense, but if it did it would have cost another 30 to 40 minutes. The main character was very well developed, but the supporting actors required also a bit more time and intensity to make it to the right point. The plot was very good, and keep one engaged and always looking for the next turn of events. I highly recommend it, and I'll be looking for the next directors film, as this one is definitely one to keep an eye on.
