Haven't seen it myself, but here's a fairly extensive review:
http://movie-reviews.colossus.net/movies/o/open_eyes.html
>From another site (http://upcomingmovies.com/openyoureyes.html):
"The sci-fi element of the story is not large, and only really
comes into towards the finale. All in all, a mind-bending bit of
suspense from Amenabar".
So it's probably a fun movie (good reviews all around), but not
especially relevant in a transhumanist sense.
Saw a movie lately (forgot the name) about an AI, composed of
various serial killers and other nasties, that "accidentally"
got a nanotech (blue slime) body and killed a bunch of people
(both in the real world and in VR). Sounds all very transhuman,
but boy, did it suck ass!
