The Wachowski's have "tried" to sneak in a morality tale somewhat reminiscent of the Matrix into this yarn...instead of humans that are batteries, we are now a commodity farmed and condensed for our essence and the 1%ers are using us for Profit...on a Universal scale...

The best 10 minutes of the movie is when "your Highness", is trying to get registered...it goes from this ultra high-tech world, into this very Terry Gilliam like homage of low-tech future bureaucracy, lead be a effeminate robot...

I was really searching for some saving graces with-in this movie...but with waaaaay too many "just in time, saving the day moments"...it was hard to find...

Visually it is ground breaking...but just really got beaten to death, by every action sequence being 5-10 minutes too long...I personally feel, I have become immune to CG when it is the plot, with zero...zip...nada...character development...you just don't care about anyone...

Thanks
