This scenario wasn't in either movie. This is more like something out of Time Gate.

Does that one have a happy ending?

I didn't know. I never finished it. I'm kinda curious now, though.

It's a sci-fi setting where AI is used to "resurrect" famous dead people, and there's a virtual world where all of these famous people can interact. So, you could have a synthetic Socrates debating a synthetic Mark Twain, for example.

I thought it was ridiculous, but it really looks like that's the way we're headed now.
