Resumen
Durante los años noventa el género de ciencia ficción experimenta un notable incremento de películas que versan sobre la realidad virtual. La ambientación de estos filmes, que siguen el influyente modelo de distopía nocturna instituido por Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982), presenta hasta el final de la década grandes semejanzas entre sí. Sin embargo David Cronenberg romperá en eXistenZ (1999) con las premisas visuales anteriores. Este artículo analiza sus escenarios señalando la principal novedad introducida por eXistenZ: la recreación de la estética de los videojuegos como elemento esencial del film.Citas
