I rented this, expecting a great science-fiction movie with a Muse sound-track. Concert footage of the British rock band Muse accompanies the musical story of a team of scientists investigating the source of a paranormal anomaly.Google user 98% liked this film. imdb rate 7.4.
What I got was a great Muse concert and a loosely related story involving fancy graphics, weak acting and a very predictable story line.
Console:
Know what you’re getting into – this is simply a concert recording
I’m writing this review from the perspective of someone who has watched the Simulation Theory world tour live, in a stadium that was twice as big as the arena from the movie.
Here’s what it actually is: A live recording of their concert in O2 London, similar to their recordings of Hullabaloo, Wembley, and the Rome Olympic Stadium before. This one, however, is complemented by scenes that push the musical narrative further, shot separately.
