Wilson and Hayek occupy several levels of reality, or none, depending on how you read writer/director Mike Cahill's imagination. However, none of the levels is terribly believable.

Owen Wilson leads this sci-fi mystery as a recently divorced man unsatisfied with his harsh office job. Also stars Salma Hayek as a woman who convinces him that the world around him is nothing but a miserable simulation of the blissful reality hidden from him. From the writer-director of I Origins.

The New York Times
Cahill flounders with creating a sensory experience to match the story's cerebral ideas.

There's an engaging earnestness to it which sits side-by-side with a larky spirit of trial and error, almost like a choose-your-own-adventure fantasy where wild elements of chance keep dropping into the mix.
