The Thirteenth Floor is set in 2024.

So while I’m watching this VHS tape to get some nostalgia for 1999, this film is speculating about the year I’m living in now.

@atomicpoet Wasn't it set in 3 different time periods?
You don't find out it was set in 2024 until the final act

@atomicpoet and how does it fare? Dont remember it, looks kind of low budget? 7/10 on imdb suggests it is better than what I'd expect.

IMHO it is the weakest of the 4 scifi films that came out around that time speculating on simulated worlds:

The Thirteenth Floor
eXistenZ
Dark City
The Matrix

@bornach @jantzen But it’s pretty good!

Wonder why they cut the ending. Perhaps the twist reveal came too early in the plot so this extended ending just seemed to drag things out.

Compare this with how eXistenZ paced their plot twist reveal
