general opinion

Rating: 3/10 (3 April 2005)

I really enjoyed the visual techniques used in this movie. I like how the color was juxtaposed to the black and white; it was a really interesting change to typical movies and really highlighted certain things that were made to stand out.
The only thing I strongly disliked was the portrayal of all of the female characters as helpless sex objects who needed some sort of invincible man to save them. The women were constantly made to look stupid and helpless. Yes, the guys did screw up too, but ultimately they were always the ones leading and making the girls stay away (even with the girls who were really powerful, the guys ended up taking over).
The story itself was not my cup of tea, but I can see how others would find it interesting. If nothing else, it was at least worth seeing for the interesting visual effects.
