One of Surrender's good, early efforts. This is from the same director as Femalien and the two films are pretty comparable in quality. There are several sex scenes all tied around the concept of the main character's trip to a "virtual reality" studio. If the technology shown really existed, the company's profits would exceed those of GM, IBM, Coca Cola and Exxon-Mobil combined. :)A couple of real highlights in the film were the strip club scene and the wet lesbian/three way. But all of the scenes were good.Given the low price and high quality of the video, this is an easy recommendation.

Once again, I'm sick and tired of seeing comments from people expecting a better storyline. This is a SOFTCORE PORN FLICK! Give me a list of softcore porn flicks with great writing! They don't exactly hire David Mamet to write these things! Besides, do you want (and this question is only for straight men or homosexual women) good writing in a film like this? What would be the use?Of course, some people don't appreciate the simulated sex scenes. I think they look pretty realistic. All the guys and girls really look like they're getting into it. I personally find no enjoyment in watching a guy's hairy testicles bang against a woman's buttocks, which is why I most prefer this tasteful brand of porn. But if you like seeing the hardcore stuff, then hey that's your taste. The box for this movie wasn't labeled XXX. In fact, the one I rented was R-rated (despite the fact that the nudity and sex was pretty explicit and covered about 90-percent of the film's running time). So don't say you weren't warned.I always love Surrender Cinema's movies, because they have some of the best-looking girls EVER! And I can honestly say, this movie has the most beautiful women out of all Surrender Cinema flicks. I didn't have to worry about having the urge to fast-forward to the next scene. Each woman stimulated me almost equally. Of course, the pinnacle of the film would have to be the sultry "Asian massage" between Jacqueline Lovell and that Asian chick. Hot, hot, hot!If you ARE a fan of the Surrender Cinema flicks, you should have a great great great time with "Virtual Encounters"! Damn, I can't wait to see the sequel!!!My score: 10 (out of 10)

...but this isn't one of them, although this wasn't a total waste.I've seen most of them and, like other guys, F-Fwd to the sex scenes (for those of you looking for celluloid with class, aka plot, you won't find it in any of Surrender's stuff - that'd be akin to me expecting my employer to give raises, hahahaha...). But I don't drool over them (ran out of drool), rather I look for some level of realism in the sex scenes, the "eloquence of their efforts" (reality of their faking). I guess I've grown bored with the ho-hum 'undress and caress w/o impress' scenes. Any Shannon Tweed flick has at least 3 of these scenes - all of her films were meant for insomniacs!I look for the usual giveaway positions such as the way over-used 'girl riding the guy's thigh' scene, both standing upright with him behind her, either of them grinning as though the camera operator just farted (look like Ken & Barbie dolls with their super-plastic 'ain't I beautiful?' smile), any tell-tale sign of the G-cover (not the G-string, this is a white stickem patch meant for guy's genitals), etc. - you get the picture. After a few of these rentals you'll start thinking of better uses for your money, like firestarters.Even though this flick was thin based on my earlier mentioned expectations in realism it had a couple of semi-believable moments, thus I dub it a 'watchable' status for the rest of the testosteroned-Thogs out there, but as I said earlier there are better ones!

When I saw Virtual Encounters... the whole movie, it was on a tremendously bad dubbing I made from my friend's tape... unfortunately, when HE taped it, it was kinda without audio for the majority of it.But let me tell you something: Without the audio, it makes little or no difference. You could tell exactly what Elizabeth Kaitan was saying (most of the time it was "This is very very strange"), and frankly, what the computer was saying made no difference to me.But something I want to know: are they really having sex? Granted I'm not necessarily the biggest aficionado of the Surrender Cinema/Soft-porn industry, but it really, really looks almost genuine to me. Ah well... it's probably that all the guys aren't rising fully to the occasion (but if I'M in the shower with two beautiful busty women, I probably would, regardless of the big chunky camera zooming in on my butt).Ah well... maybe the sequel's better. Now to find it.
