The Resurrection

Here's one that likely seemed better on paper. A listless gamer becomes convinced that saving a virtual Little Match Girl will solve his real-life problems. He throws himself into the online world to rescue her from corporate overlords. It's a film that perhaps overestimated the appeal of early-2000s MMORPGs.
