Cybersex : what image does it conjure up?
The internet? Virtual Sex? Something along those lines.
In this film, it's not just pornographic pictures that the men in this film
get to download, but hot chick androids (it says here). It all begins when
Bill gets online and meets Tracey. Alas, she's just a cyborg in a lab but
she's just a click away. On these websites, there's no need to type in your
credit card number or divulge your address in order to get a free shag.
The action is mostly male-female but there is a lesbo scene included.
Presented in fullscreen, the picture is everything you'd expect from a
standard NTSC-to-PAL conversion. It's okay, but nothing outstanding and
there's no obvious artifacts on view. The average bitrate is a very good
7.5Mb/s and if you have a widescreen TV and want to zoom in on the picture,
don't let me stop you.
The sound quality is fine and contains the usual 'ooh' and 'aah' (and 'just a
little bit') sounds from the cast. If you also hear the sound of one hand
clapping, don't tell me :)
Extras :
Chapters :
There are only 8 chapters to the disc, dividing the film up into separate
per-shag sections.
Languages & Subtitles :
English dialogue and the occasional primitive grunt. No subtitles.
Cyber Gallery :
This is just a series of pictures grouped together over three pages
and they're all included in this review.
Menu :
Static and silent with choices to start the film from scratch, select a scene
or view the cyber gallery.
Overall, this is standard American porn fare, but as the BBFC don't like
to see erect willies (perhaps they're too afraid to make "big dick"s of
themselves ?) or penetration then it kind of negates the point of watching
it in the first place.
Note that according to the
BBFC website,
not a single second was cut from this title. However, they must have received
the film pre-censored by M.I.A.
