Description: In this immersive 360 degree first-person POV VR film, the viewer is dropped into a visceral, action-packed 3D cinematic experience usually seen in movie theaters, only this time YOU are the action hero.
CIA Operative David Emerson awakens to find himself a subject of an experimental program with his body under complete remote control of the imperious General (Tony Denison). With the aid of a rogue operative Alexandra (Lyndsy Fonseca), David has to retake charge of own actions and fight his way through the top security facility inside the most complex live-action VR film ever made.
Review: I kind of like what the developers were going for with ‘Agent Emerson’ but boy does it fall well short of being something anyone should be recommending. From the cheap 3D effects to the terrible action and poor quality 360 video, it is almost impossible to find something to love about this 360 video experience. We have seen this sort of experience work pretty well in the app ‘Robert Rodriguez’s THE LIMIT’ which was pretty great. While they have clearly tried to do the same here and I do feel the actors did their best, it simply isn’t good enough to be anything other than a free experience (which it isn’t).
