Not bad for what it is
First of all, I've never read the comic, so if you're a a fan of the comic I would suggest other reviewers.It wasn't a horrible movie. It had some good special effects and the plot wasn't bad. The plot has been outlined elsewhere, so I won't go into it.If you're Christian (more specifically Catholic) and you don't like your religion messed with, you should avoid this movie. They took some 'creative liberties' with Catholicism that may not be well received. If I discussed some of the major liberties I might spoil the movie for someone so I won't go into detail on that.It was a nice little diversion movie. If you think too hard during it there are parts that just won't make much sense, so just sit back and enjoy it.I felt that the biggest distraction in the movie was Keanu Reeves. His character was engaging and Reeves did well, but he wore black the whole time and there were times during the movie where I had to remind myself that I wasn't watching one of the Matrix movies. Well, the "world within a world" stuff was deja vu too, but...All in all, it's not a bad movie. It's not a "WOW!" movie either, but I didn't feel it was a waste of time. It is definitely a movie that you would want to rent before buying.
