Reality Is Overrated

Sci-Fi

Virtual reality is really&nbsp;coming into its own these days, with <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/weird-virtual-reality-uses/jason-robbins">VR&nbsp;technology being used in surprising ways</a> across many areas of our everyday life. More than <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-virtual-reality-movies-list/all-genre-movies-lists">a few movies</a> from our recent past had weird and crazy ideas about how VR&nbsp;technology might develop. Back in the '80s and '90s, VR was still in its nascency,&nbsp;so in the early days of using virtual reality in the movies, creators had some trippy ideas about how the technology might be used or abused. While The Matrix is undoubtedly the most famous, there are plenty of other, more ridiculous, movies that featured VR technology. While some of depictions&nbsp;seemed cutting edge at the time, they seem downright silly in retrospect. Other interpretations&nbsp;of VR, however, were scarily accurate.Whether utopia or dystopia, sci-fi thriller or existential drama, here are some of the craziest non-Matrix virtual reality movies that explore the digital&nbsp;world.
