Great SF flick about the havoc caused by a machine that lets people live other people's real activities. Of course the bad guys take over to cash in on it, but They Are Not Victorious. The ending is a real high.
A mad ecologist tries to save Earth's last plant life... in space!

It is shockingly awful. I was literally shocked by how awful it is. It made me angry.
