8.5/10 (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!)
This film had many positive reviews, yet for some reason had a low rating of 6.5/10 on IMDB. I almost didn't watch this film as a result of it, but I am glad I doubted the site.
Matrix might have been the reason for the low rating...People used Matrix to rate this film would have missed how enjoyable The 13th
The Matrix and The Thirteenth Floor have similar concepts but both films has it's own extraordinary elements.
The Matrix has many CGI elements, making it an very action filled and exciting film. A star studded cast, non-stop action, CGI effects and a concept makes this film very exciting. The plot line, however, cannot be compared to that of Thirteenth Floor.
The Thirteenth Floor is about a computer generated digital parallel world created by Hannon Fuller and his colleague Douglas Hall. The digital world is set in the 30's with people with real emotions. Hannon knowing someone is after him leaves a letter in the parallel world, but is murdered in the real world the same night, and Douglas is under suspicion. Douglas attempts to find the truth not knowing what awaits him.
The film has very little CGI elements, an unfamiliar cast and little action. However, what makes the Thirteenth Floor exciting is the sophisticated plot line, great character development, and an atmosphere of mystery/suspense from the beginning. The plot of the film is full of twist and kept me hooked all the way through. Craig Bierko, the Ben Affleck look-a-like, is exceptional as Douglas Hall and I wonder how come I don't see him in more films.
Don't get me wrong, both films are great, just don't make one film superior to the other. Watch both and enjoy them separately!
