I lasted an hour. What I saw was nearly all exposition, interrupted by action sequences that had cool cgi effects and were ultimately boring (to me). A movie like Matrix told a complicated tale of multiple realities by SHOWING us what was happening instead of having characters lecture at us. Also, in the first hour, it seemed apparent to me that the director and script writers had no real interest in the humanity of their characters. The characters' only role was to be chess pieces in the plot. To steal Hitchcock's joke, I'd say that the entire plot was a McGuffin--so there was nothing else to see.
