The sweet and human comedy isn’t much more than a character study, but the details make it an engrossing experience. With subtle lighting effects and a disassociated timetable, the movie is designed to play like a dream or memory you can’t recall quite right. Comet hops around through the pair's timeline and into alternative “What ifs?” until you begin to feel as though these might be scenarios playing out in the characters' heads. Portrayed with charming appeal by Emmy Rossum and Justin Long, the couple plays out the ins and outs of a six year relationship. The film Comet is the simple romance of two people who find one another at a meteor shower in Los Angeles. Not everything we do in VR has to be some super immersive battle against an alien horde.
