A Computer Geeks Wet Dream

Rating: Null/10 (10 July 2002)

Computer nerd finds secret to the universe, gets buff, gets guns, gets violent, gets babe in bondage leather. The producers of this movie really knew the demographic they were aiming for.
This was a boring, brutal, assaultive movie--shameless in its manipulation of the audience. The violence done to Neo's body (the mechanical spider thing in his intestines, the socket in the back of his head), and then the violence he commits against others in the movie, were extremely unsettling. There was a clever idea at the core of this movie, but after being pummeled over the head by the various "special" effects, I couldn't have cared less whether or not Neo saved the world. I just wanted to get out of the theater, and into the fresh air and sunlight.
Avoid this--unless you enjoy nightmares.
