Whorecraft: Legion of Whores Vol. 1

We are on the brink of another film/video revolution that will certainly affect porn: Virtual Reality. This is the second such DVD I've watched, both of them suggesting on the packaging that you view the VR version on-line instead - sort of conceding defeat before the battle of formats has been fully engaged.

The other one was filled filled with wide-angle lens shots, which reminded me of the distortion that crept into Kubrick's great "2001", especially notable in the shuttle scenes en route to the moon base, where everything was pointlessly unrealistic looking even though Kubrick's overall achievement was to make space travel and the future look real on screen.

This time we have over two hours of Green Screen technique, with four segments of actresses in cosplay outfits voicing over some gibberish about their fantasy character and her planet. What we watch is nothing more than a typical POV camera gonzo porn show, the type that auteurs like Jonni Darkko and Mike Adriano have perfected. The girl works on the first-person dick, blow-job,hand-job and some humping, with the viewer supposed to put himself in the place of the faceless dick-bearer for vicarious humping. You are there!

On paper that makes perfect sense for Virtual Reality, and fits in with the current Video Game emphasis. But on the DVD is it relentlessly boring, as a static camera of POV sex, minus the extreme close-ups and yes, wideangle lenses that Darkko employs quite effectively, goes nowhere.

The gals are typically erotic, especially little-known Alex Grace attempting to deep-throat the long cock presented to her and Abella Danger's sexy voice taking precedence over her visual appeal. But the promised "Hollywood level" costumes & SPFX are no substitute for interesting and varied content.
