Storyline

While testing the latest first person shooter from global game developer, Sentinel, video game champion Max Troy discovers the events happening within the game are being reflected in the real world. He soon determines that the game's protagonist is real-life Orson Creed, an ex-Sentinel employee who is being remotely controlled by the corporation for reasons unknown. As virtual and real worlds collide, Max and Creed must join forces to unravel the conspiracy before the game's sinister events escalate and overwhelm the city. — Mirror Images Champion gamer Max Troy discovers events in a new video game are being mirrored in the real world, and must join forces with the game's protagonist, Orson Creed, to unravel the conspiracy before the game's sinister plot overwhelms the city. Beta test contains 12 minutes of animated video game sequences juxtaposed against live action footage to show the audience a man in the real world being controlled by a system, against his will. The movie also has what is currently the longest long take fight sequence on record. Over 6 minutes from beginning to end, the scene took weeks to rehearse and showcases Arrow and Spartacus star Manu Bennett fighting through a group of mercenaries to save his wife. Beta Test is a nostalgic throwback to action movies of the 80s and 90s while simultaneously a social commentary on gun violence and video game culture in the 21st century.
