Old idea presented in a different way

Its kind of obvious that the majority of the money for this movie went to getting Edward Furlong as the lead. This movie wasn't that long after his success in the T2 and therefore he was still considered to be a "wanted actor". I kind of liked it only because of the nature of the film.
There have always been stories about kids getting pulled into video games ever since the first arcade was opened.

The effects were average, but for some reason I still found a reason to watch this one all the way through to the end.
I guess it can be looked at as one of those campy B rated suspense movies that never quite made it, but obviously was not the best step for Furlong to take after T2. If you like …
