This movie is a complete waste of time. Apart from being unbelievable (which I could deal with, I mean, I watched Aliens Vs Predators happily) it has Zero characterization. Zero reason to care about the outcome, or the people in it. It moves slow. It isn't jumpy. It's premise is barely worth a hypothetical discussion, far less a two hour movie. It did bring up some interesting, if not already beaten to death, themes. I could think of at least three things that could start a decent discussion, but all this movie did was present them in the most superficial way. It brought nothing new to the table, fuck it didn't even bring anything old to the table. This movie couldn't find the fucking table.
And the acting was sub-standard. Carrie-Anne Moss wasn't great at actiing in the matrix, and here she fell a notch. Of course, they weren't given half decent dialog to work with.
