#29?!?! UH, OKAY.

Rating: 3/10 (1 November 1999)

The concept is original, but I was amazed at how unintentionally hilarious most of this film is. All those times characters kept reverentially referring to blank, uninspiring Keanu Reeves as "the one"; all the over the top martial arts posing and meaningless, new-agey babble - this is just an under-ventilated, overblown hodgepodge of a few good ideas hopelessly overpowered by a dizzying number of brainless cliches.

Once again, the MTV generation mistakes a lot of noise and flashy editing for good filmmaking. If it wasn't for the clever special effects, this would be MSTK3 fodder all the way.
