Average film with great special effects.

Rating: 6/10 (12 August 2003)

(Spoilers within) I was prepared to see a great film - The Terminator crossed with Bladerunner and Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. What I actually saw was a film with mind blowing special effects and almost no plot - humans make good batteries sounds like tosh to me for machines capable of creating the Matrix. It seems to be a film based on the premise that you physically exist outside the Matrix but can still be killed by things inside it. Frankly, I found it pretentious and boring.
