Advance Review: "This makes no sense whatsoever. And it makes utter, utter sense." These words, spoken to us by Second-in-Command Space Officer Jimmy Johnson (Ritchie Coster, The Dark Knight) in his reality-show confessional, handily sums up Virtuality; a dark thought-provoking masterwork that's part sci-fi and part existential noir. And while FOX is airing this Ron Moore (Battlestar Galactica) written, Peter Berg (Hancock, Friday Night Lights) directed space mission as a TV movie, it's clear that Virtuality was meant for greater things.
