Lame-o. You could give it a star or two for the pretty factor if it wasn’t so blatantly ripping off ‘The Matrix’ (and doing a far worse job of it). The storyline, however, was completely uninspired: unoriginal for one thing, but also just very simple, like it was considered the unfortunately necessary coathanger they needed to hang some pretty shots on in order to get them into a cinema. Most of all, though, I found it a really disappointing addition to a genre that generally uses futuristic or similar settings to explore and inspire thought about issues being faced at present. This did none of that… although this probably a good thing given the very simplistic and black-and-white Good Vs Evil plot going on in it. No greys to think about, no contradictions or challenges or character growth or any of that “human condition” stuff, at all. Which is what in the end makes it so unbelievable and uninteresting.
