RPG is a thrilling and thought-provoking movie that takes place in the not-too-distant future, where virtual reality technology has evolved to the point that people can plug into a fully immersive, hyper-realistic game world. The movie follows the story of a young man named John (played by Cian Barry), who has been hired by a tech company to beta-test their latest game - an RPG called "Sequestered" - in which players are plunged into a medieval world of knights, wizards, and dragons.

John is an introverted and somewhat socially awkward young man who is fascinated by the prospect of being able to inhabit a fully-realized fantasy world. He soon finds himself becoming deeply immersed in the game, spending hours on end exploring its vast landscape, completing quests, and meeting other players from around the world. One such player is a young woman named Kyra (played by Alix Wilton Regan), whom John becomes friends with in the game world.

As John delves deeper into the game, however, he begins to notice strange glitches and anomalies that suggest that there may be more going on in "Sequestered" than meets the eye. He also begins to experience disturbing hallucinations and nightmares, blurring the lines between reality and the game world. Meanwhile, Kyra reveals that she is actually a spy for a rival tech company, sent to gather intelligence on the game and its developers.

Things take a turn for the worse when John and Kyra stumble upon a dark secret at the heart of "Sequestered" - a hidden level that is only accessible to a select few players, which seems to be a kind of virtual purgatory where souls are trapped and used to power the game. The two must race against time to try and expose this sinister plot and shut down the game before it's too late.

RPG is a visually stunning movie, with the game world of "Sequestered" being brought to life in dazzling detail. The special effects are top-notch, and the action scenes are breathtaking. The movie also touches on some interesting philosophical questions about the nature of reality and the potential dangers of technology.

Cian Barry gives a standout performance as John, bringing a relatable vulnerability to the character that makes it easy to empathize with his struggles. Alix Wilton Regan is also excellent as Kyra, infusing the character with equal parts charisma and cunning. Nik Xhelilaj is suitably creepy as the enigmatic game developer who seems to be pulling all the strings behind the scenes.

Overall, RPG is a smart and ambitious movie that combines thrilling action sequences with intellectually engaging ideas. It's a must-see for fans of sci-fi and fantasy, as well as anyone interested in exploring the fascinating and ever-evolving intersection of technology and humanity.

RPG is a 2015 science fiction movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 42 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.3.
