Two words: O V E R - R A T E D!

Rating: Null/10 (14 April 2000)

I watched this on HBO the other night on the recommendation of a couple of colleagues from work, and I had high hopes for an intelligent sci-fi treat. What I found, instead, was the usual mediocre acting and "look-at-me" special fx one finds in every other Hollywood "blockbuster". Nowhere near as good as it's reputation would have you believe (unless you're as gullible as everybody else who got sucked in by this one). Started out on a promising note, but it was all downhill from there. Keanu is lucky this did so well at the box-office. If it had tanked, the rest of his career would likely have been spent in direct-to-video "b" movie action extravaganzas. Scary thought, huh, Keanu? Whoah.
