(Someone else's) 160-minute video game

Rating: 1/10 (18 May 2003)

No mature mind could possibly buy into this film; it is completely implausible in its premise and absurdly contradictive in its details. At all times, you are completely aware that you are in a movie theater with 300 other people, watching the most rapid, dramatic depictions of violence that Hollywood's special effects department can devise at the moment. Lots of hurtling bodies, explosions, and beings with unimaginable powers still popping away with handguns. Hooooooohummmmmm--- You'd get the same experience watching someone else play video games for 160 minutes, or reading a 300-page comic book aimed at violence-obsessed 12-year-olds.
This film's claim to social significance will be the fact it is the most racist/sexist movie yet perpetrated by the Hollywood PC propaganda machine. White males make up 100% of the bad guys and 10% of the good guys. The token white male hero is the monotoned robot Keanu Reeves, whose acting makes O.J. Simpson look like Laurence Olivier.
Message? Yes, this movie did indeed make me fear for the future of our civilization -- right after I read its box office receipts.
