I wasn't sure if I was going to like this movie, but the fact that it starred Jessica De Gouw (who is absoutely gorgeous in this one) made it an easy decision to give it a go. And I was handsomely rewarded for my decision.I'm not going to go into details about the film, and ruin it for you, but as a fan of science fiction with interesting concepts, this movie checked all of the boxes. Back in the early 80's, a film called 'Brainstorm' (Natalie Wood's last movie) got me hooked on this genre. OtherLife carries the torch quite well. It has a really interesting concept that is easy to follow, and really makes you think. The visuals are excellent, the story is well crafted, and the acting is really good. I can always tell that a movie is good when it seems shorter than it really is, and in this case 96 minutes just flew by. At the end, I found myself thinking "hmmmm, what if???"Kudos to the Australian film industry for another winner! I am really impressed with the movies they've been turning out

The beautiful Ren (is that supposed to be a name?) works at some company where she developed a "software" in liquid form that when put into a person's eye allows him to experience something for several hours or so, an experience that in real life only takes place during a minute or so. The company and it's product are called OtherLife because the plan is to offer people to experience their dreams. But financially the company isn't doing well, just as the release of the product will be in 5 days. Ren has a brother in a coma and she's "treating" him with the eye drops hoping we will snap out of it somehow by making him relive the same day of the accident over and over. At some point his eye twitches. Her father though is ready to pull the plug on the brother. One day, Ren's patient boyfriend finally gets to spend some time with her. She gives him an eye drop where he experiences some snowboarding. He grabs another vial hoping to relive the experience but instead grabs a vial meant for Ren's brother so this guy ends up dead. That allows Ren's partner Sam to get some investment from a jail company. The idea is to put people away in virtual OtherLife jails for years when in reality they are only "in jail" for a minute. And Ren is the first one to undergo this virtual conviction. She's sentenced to a year. Her cell has a wall made up of LEDs showing the day number. When 365 hits, Ren is ready to get out, but the counter tuns again to "1." Ren, desperate, manages to escape, only to find out she hasn't been in the lab but in some actual single cell room out somewhere. She escape the security people and meets up with a friend. She ends up making some interesting discoveries and will have to find a way to return OtherLife to its original purpose of improving people's lives.OtherLife features the lovely Jessica De Gouw and has an intriguing premise that it manages to work out more or less satisfyingly. The whole jail bit didn't really fit into and wasn't suited for the movie. But as many sci-fi movies of late, it offers so much more than the usual tired old storylines of other genres.

A real snooze fest. I gave up 22 minutes in. The movie was going nowhere, literally... we were trapped in the "lab" building so to speak with endless scenes of vials with automatic squirting fillers doing something but who knows what, it was never explained. In fact, pretty much nothing was ever explained, it was all just mysterious "we can do this that and the other thing just by saying it". The brother, who presumably has been in a vegetative state for a while, looks like he just stepped off the cover of GQ and laid down in a hospital bed for a quick nap before going to his next model shoot. The Main girl scientist? programmer? savant? went around looking all pouty while her boyfriend was forced to party without her yet of course the boyfriend was not moving on. And in this world of presumably micro this and that since we are dealing with literally molecular level adjustments in the brain the girl can just intuit the "numbers" as if being "close enough" for brain surgery (by chemicals) is plenty good enough. There was not even a pretense of "science" presented, it's all just wave your hand and "make it so" movie science. Really, it's just boring boring boring. How anyone found this turkey compelling is beyond me.

Evidences of the insinuation is made through technological manifestations of induction and severely the perception of all the proceeding is made by the faces of fame; the perfect environment to which the plot is made to the values of production in which the imprisonment of these realities are intriguing manifestations of the OtherLife; participants are then subjugated to communicate the chores trying to break free of the currents resulting from the assimilations in real time;
