Cool, but waaaay too in love with its special effects.

Rating: 6/10 (18 May 2003)

Not even in the same league as "The Matrix", this film falls prey to the nearly ubiquitous sequal-itis (Godfather, Empire and Two Towers excepted) in which the filmmakers try to top themselves not in story but in eye-candy. There's plenty of the latter here, but little of it has any purpose beyond "wow" factor. I wish they had taken the time with the script to make the plot-line more compelling.
