Special fx fans will love it, but I was bored by a lacking story.

Rating: 1/10 (26 November 2000)

While most of the world seems head over heels for this film, I can't get over the fact that I was bored to tears. The movie seemed really long, and while special effects are nice, a few hours into this thing I was more interested in looking at my watch.
I thought the whole premise of our entire existence being fake was a good one. But, once seeing the movie, I realized that the premise isn't really expanded that much. It's just developed enough to hold together the action scenes. Maybe I would have been more entranced with a better cast. But Keanu Reaves and Lawrence Fishburne don't exactly amount to genius in casting.
Maybe there's some element of this movie I'm just not getting, but if this movie was the only thing on TV, I don't think I would watch.
