Haven't I Already Seen This Already? Oh Yeah, The Matrix.

Rating: 4/10 (3 January 2009)

This was a very disappointing movie. It had great action sequences, but the plot was extremely thin, boring, and predictable. Once the main character is recruited and trained, I would be amazed if anyone in the audience doesn't realize that he in fact is going to kill his own father, rather than avenge him.
I really don't feel that there is a need to show in slow-motion: bullet's going through someone's skull; the skin being stretched out; and the little bits of brain and skull wafting out. Oh, and we get to see it both in forwards and reverse, how uncool! So what is the director thinking: "Okay, we have a thin script with a paper thin plot, lets put some gore and well worn out special effects in"; "Oh yeah, and Angelina's sweet booty, that should help fool the audience." This film is too Matrixesque, with some elements from Jumper thrown in. Give me a break, if you are going to copy the Matrix, please at least make the plot fun, or over the top; either suspend my belief entirely, or make the film and characters believable.
My recommendation: skip this and rent The Matrix series, and Jumper. Both of these are fun and highly entertaining.
