10 Most Immersive Movies Ever

10. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World was criminally overlooked when it first came out (it didn't even make back its budget), but has grown in appreciation ever since.

And to be fair, it’s easy to see why it didn’t click with the masses. It's far from conventional in just about everything it does, from its wacky humour ("Vegan police!") to its relentless use of video game/comic-book-inspired visuals, but its unique style is something that we've never really seen on film before, and it's executed with such confidence by director Edgar Wright that it's hard not to admire his bold approach.

The movie's real genius, though, lies in its combination of the familiar and the fantastical. Scott is such an awkward and ordinary dude with a modest goal - date the girl! - that he's someone we instantly "get", and that relatability sucks you in before the surreal visuals wash the whole thing in a crazy entertaining light show. It's like if your normal Tuesday afternoon was suddenly interrupted by a kitten barfing rainbows.

Frankly, this movie should be the opposite of immersive because it's so bizarre and out-there, but for people who grew up with boss fights, melee combos and extra lives as a part of their pop-culture vocabulary, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World will feel like the ultimate inside joke - and a bloody hilarious one at that.
