Film Review: Gamer (2009)
Gamer takes place "some years" from now according to the opening caption, which seems lazy, although given the subject matter, I'm sure it's meant to be ambiguous and alarming. A man named Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall) has invented a self-replicating nanite which colonize in your brain and give someone else control of you, i.e. mind control. The first implementation of this technology was used in Society, a fakecommunity where players could control real people and live out interactions, much like the PC sim Second Life. The technology was then used to create Slayers, which the plot of the movie revolves around. Meanwhile, an anti-nanite movement called Humanz is trying to bring Castle's empire down.
