See it, Be it, It's worth the price of admission

Rating: 8/10 (9 April 1999)

Yes, I know it is derivative, and lord knows anyone who actually thought that Mr. Reeves could act could use to up their medication dosages, but what the hey? I liked it. A lot. To tell you the honest truth, it is the first science fiction movie I have seen in a long time that was worth the price of admission. The best thing about it is it has some PLOT, (actually, a more complicated than it appears at first) and some thought went into the way things were organized.
During the showing (about half way through) three teenaged guys in front of us got up and walked out. I guess that too many people these days are afraid to put any thought into watching a movie and would rather just have the world thrown into their laps. If action is what you need, there is plenty of crap out there that will satisfy you; If you like a little thinking man's action with the plot to go with it, see The Matrix. Be warned. This isn't a "Check your brain at the door" kind of flick.
