I remember last year the Keijster posted a topic about a really cool independant sci-fi movie about kids who plug into some kind of virtual reality gizmo and duke it out in a simulated fighting game. The board closed and the topic was lost to obscurity, where I completely forgot the movie's name, until today

Official Turbo Website

The film was released about a year ago. It's pretty good for an independant film, and I really like the overall vibe and quality it gives off. It's a short film averaging around 23 minutes which can be watched on the actual website, or here:



The 80's had a whole market for movies ABOUT videogames. Stuff like Tron, Wargames and The Wizard thrived off of the popularity, before they were left in obscurity in favour of movies based off of popular videogame franchises. With the revival of Tron, it seems that they're coming back into the fold, and Turbo here's a pretty good testament to what can be done in a movie like this.

I forgot about this movie for a while before Psy brought it back up. It is, indeed, an awesome indie film. :3
