A parallel universe where everybody's into a virtual reality games (so
not too different a universe from ours): Friends Desa (Lauren Swickard),
Iastar (Maya Stojan) and Lleva (Malea Rose) decide to play a game called
Intermate, where gamers have to find one another in a mini universe full
of virtual characters, and only if all (in this case 4) gamers come
together they can end the game. Thing is, instead of being sent to a mini
universe, our trio is sent to our own earth, a world our girls struggle to
understand - but they have it in their power to telepathically give
ultimate pleasure to us earthlings, something they use to check for the
fourth player. Thing is, there is no fourth player, thus they're stuck,
but prostitute Karen (Allison Dunbar) finds out of their secret power and
starts a prostitution racket of her own, with the friends her top girls -
and they have no objections as the work is easy and doesn't even involve
any actual sex, and might help them find their fourth player to leave for
home. However, the girls weren't sent to earth just by accident but by the
doing of the Repairman (Jonathan Goldstein), an inter-dimensional engineer
who wants to shut down Intermate because it causes too many dimensional
disturbances. Now all he has to do is to persuade one of the girls to
leave the dimension they're in with him which might mean disaster for
earth, but would make work easier for him. Thing is, he's not exactly a
trustworthy guy and freaks the girls out, while they've learned to stick
together through it all - and soon they're on a wild ride that involves
everyone from a couple of whores (Vedette Lim, Aria Sirvaitis) to a
somewhat dim scientist (Gerald Downey) to even a serial rapist (John
Patrick Jordan), and through which our own might not come across as the
safest universe of them all ...
A re-edited and maybe also partly reshot version of 2019's Flashout,
this movie here might not hold its own when it comes to the science behind
it or even pure logic - but that said, it's a fun little romp still, a
quick-moving comedy based on a silly yet relatable premise revolving
around some colourful characters getting into situations of the
fish-out-of-water variety that's rather cleverly deployed in this movie so
as to not come across as repetitive. And a light-footed directorial effort
sure helps here, as does an ensemble cast clearly in on the joke but never
playing it just for cheap laughs, to make this one fun movie indeed.
