I have heard many comments about this film being the most disappointing of the year. The truth is I don't understand why. I think the movie turned out to be just what it had promised to be. It has great visual effects but the story isn't worth a penny. Just like Transformers, you don't go to watch it expecting to find great acting and/or a meaningful and deep story, do you?
I watched it in 3D and I have to admit I had never enjoyed 3D (not even during Avatar) until now. The motorcycle races, the fights, the virtual world, they are all mind-blowing. I loved the whole idea of the lines and how they play with them, bending them, stretching them, transforming them into countless objects. I also thought it was very clever to let us watch Daft Punk play the soundtrack of the movie as the fighting evolved. That way, the idea of bits getting transformed into different songs, gets a whole new meaning.
Evidently the script of the film is filled with mistakes, but there is one that I think is tragical. Isn't the grid supposed to be a virtual world? How come they get inside with their body as well? Because if you need your body, then the space is tangible, which would make the grid need all that space in order to exist. So, where is it hidden? Where can you find that much space to utilize? and if Quorra is nothing but an ISO algorithm in this "virtual world" how come she has a body in the real world? Well, they clearly didn't give it much of a thought before they started shooting, so maybe I shouldn't either.
