A pretty poor adaptation of the classic Philip K. Dick story - this one sat on the shelf for awhile and despite some familiar faces, it all feels stale - the effects, the acting, the characters - nothing much impressed me. Maybe if you're a hardcore fan of the author, you will get something out of it, but casual audiences should give it a pass.

An indie labor of love from folks who care deeply about PKD's work! The writer's most autobiographical novel dealing with his own mystical experiences in 1974 with entity he called VALIS (Vast Living Intelligence System). Very political - like 1984 or V for Vendetta. Shea Whigham is great playing Philip K. Dick himself. Not for everyone, but if you're a hard-core PKD reader, not to be missed.
