Huh?

Rating: 6/10 (25 May 2003)

How could a company with this many resources and such a great concept make such a lifeless movie? About once every 10 or 15 minutes something vaguely clever or witty happens - the frenetic activity seems like a desperate attempt to keep the audience awake between those rare moments. There are some interesting scenes near the end where you learn more about the history and nature of the Matrix, so it isn't a total waste. What a painful price in boredom to get to that payoff!
