Yeah, I don't understand where the Matrix comparisons came into it either. :?: It had *nothing* in common with the Matrix. That being said, the movie ownz.

The rest of you are entitled to your wrong (and in some cases baseless - you know, like not even watching the actual movie. :P) opinions. :p
Though we are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,--
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Maybe he saw the cover of the DVD somewhere and just read the words, Forget the Matrix on it.

Yes, an amazing film--smartly written, excellently directed and some of the best performances in a sci fi film in a long while--Christian Bale was really terrific in this film, and Emma Watson was great as usual (great cameo by Sean Bean as well). The action scenes were well-staged but what made this film great was the characters--theres Matrix-style gun-kung fu, but above that the film is a character piece.

It really is a shame that this film wasnt given a wide release--i for one cant comprehend why. The film is low-budget but aside from some of the CG shots, its budgetary limitations never show and i cant see anyone being turned off a film like this because it wasnt a huge film.

Too bad that its been neglected to the straight-to-video bin. More films could take note of this films strengths.
I'll swallow your soul!
