Virtuality Goes Nowhere As TV Movie, says Hartford Courant

--- Nikolaj Coster-Waldau stars as captain of a ship, which also includes Clea DuVall, Joy Bryant and James D'Arcy. To keep the crew happy on the 10-year mission, they are equipped with virtual-reality goggles that transport them to happier places, though they develop a glitch that starts to spook them.
Another neat conceit for the show is that the flight is entirely funded by a corporation making money from the fact that the crew's adventures are being turned into a reality show for consumption back home. It's a nifty swipe at the reality programming that's filling airwaves more than ever this summer, even if the network had the last laugh and let "Virtuality" sit as two episodes of a series that apparently never will be made.
And as intriguing as that is, it certainly doesn't gel as a movie. Rather, after the introductions of the first hour, there's a single crisis to deal with in the second, and a big open-ended conclusion meant to lead to several seasons of storytelling that just won't happen. ---
