Empathy, Inc. is a sci-fi thriller that has its basis firmly planted in reality. The film involves a start-up company that claims to use virtual reality to give paying customers a chance to walk in the shoes of the homeless in the hopes it will make the clients problems seem highly manageable once they’re done. With the constant advances in virtual reality that can be seen in real life, writer Mark Leinder’s plot is eerily plausible. This creates a thought provoking element that rises above what can be found in films within the sci-fi genre that create stories that are too fantastical to relate to. I found that this film was very much worth my time and worth looking into because I was left turning over thoughts about its commentary on what could be long after the film was over.
