Bliss would have been the perfect Matrix replacement, if not for one problem. The film follows Greg, down on his luck after losing his job and filing for divorce, who meets Isabel, and convinces him that the broken world around them is nothing more than a computer simulation. Bliss would have been the perfect replacement for The Matrix if it weren’t for its convoluted plot that contributed to Owen Willson’s shockingly bad Rotten Tomatoes score. That said, while it may not have been rated kindly by critics, there are some rather impressive elements to note in Bliss.
