The film is actually incredibly tightly written, to the point that every single gag contributes to the central theme of embodied cognition.

For example, though this is the plot content, the film constantly emphasizes that - in its very form - it is not a videogame. We are always several steps behind Henry, as he's sensing things that we don't and making decisions we can't understand except retroactively. The film is very non-immersive.

There's a new zombie movie called Pandemic in which the team of protagonists are in a type of hazmat suit. What makes it different is that every time there's an action sequence we see it from the helmet-cam POV. And while interesting it has the same non-immersive effect because you can only see what's directly in front of the 'camera'.

The concept is good but the overall execution...not so much. Kind of direct-to-video production values.
