Just like many real-life scientific inventions, VR was a concept first introduced in science fictions. And as an outstanding Sci-Fi writer, PKD also explored the fuzzy boundaries between reality and virtuality in most of his works. This time, PKD's story, The Great C, finally enters the world of virtual reality. I have watched several movies based on PKD's novels on the big screen, but I didn't expect that one day I can watch it in a completely different way. The world of The Great C is post-apocalyptic, where the social order was destroyed. Human has returned to the original tribal system while humanity was dominated by highly developed technology. The style was a good touch to the essence of PKD's works. If you are a loyal reader of PKD or a fan of Sci-Fi movies, you do not want to miss this.
The Great C is 37 minutes long, which is much longer than most of the current VR works. Moreover, it incredibly contains 22 different environments. And the conceptual designs reveal that The Great C will highlight all the darkness and depression in a post-apocalyptic way. In fact, it's like s a blockbuster in VR. For the audience, the visual effect is ultimately enjoyable, especially in the 360° environment. I believe it will bring all audiences an immersive experience. Soundtrack in The Great C is made by Junkie XL, who once scored Mad Max: Fury Road. However, it is not as heavy as Mad Max, but accurately expresses the confusion and fear of the story.
Furthermore, compared to the original work, I think the character setting of the heroine is the biggest innovation, which features distinctive feminism. In this way, I have to say the creators have made a nice adaptation, for which the story here looks much more modern. To avoid spoilers, I'll leave the rest here. But in a sentence, The Great C maybe represents the highest level of VR sci-fi movies of the moment. If you are curious, you should experience it in yourself.
