    Life in a simulation

    "Simulation Theory" is an amped up Muse band concert experience featuring a state-of-the-art light show mixed with CGI and acting cuts. If you're a fan of Muse then you'll definitely love this artistic expression of life as a simulation. It's pretty well done but it's not film/theatre-quality, the director (Lance Drake) is an experienced Muse music video director so "Simulation" plays much more like an extended band video than a movie per se. It's really good for what it is but I think many of us wanted a more movie-like experience. Anyway, don't skip the end credits since there's a screed against Big Social/Ad Media that you may want to nod to.

    the live shows a 10 star

    Theres a pretty cool bunch of visual employed in delivering this performance. Definately a band to see live

    If so much of today's music makes you feel like you need a shower,

    ...this is the remedy!

    Classic rock sound, well presented, we need more like this!

    It was what I expected but better

    I've watch it straight and might add the movie is very satisfying. Let's see: we're talking about difficult themes and styles to be insert in a music, and combine all of those new songs with more others from the past is a formule to a soft storytelling. But the manner the movie and lives were directed made be something original with so many vasted concepts.

    An interesting take on the live concert

    I really enjoyed this film hence the 9 star rating. I would have given 10 stars had the concert not been edited to death. The best part of Muse Concerts is the transition from song to sing and this misses that. Anyway it is still great viewing.
