I saw the movie by accident (can't now recall what we were aiming to see, but some intense Monkeyball 2 gaming put paid to it). In the cinema it was something else.

Idiotically earnest (step forward Matrix 2 and 3), but with big dumb action scenes that I hadn't seen even in some of the chop socky stuff that Hollywood is now catching up with. Besides, you gotta love Sean Pertwee as the President of the World.

Its a bad film, but its heart is in the right place, and its one of the most entertaining bad films I've seen.

Loved the way that Fitchner turned up in the earlier scenes - okay as a film buff I recognised him, but nice all the same.

Yah, the first time through I thought "Wasn't that William Fichtner? Nah, couldn't be -- he wouldn't do just a walk-through" That shows good organizational skills on the part of the director, 'cause I'm sure Bill wasn't hangin' around for days between shots.

I thought it was an excellent movie. What amazed me was that as soon as some idiots saw black outfits and martial arts, they screamed Matrix.

No comparison whatsoever.

I enjoyed this flick, it makes me glad to know that Christian Bale will be able to continue this kind of out-there role with the new Batman. I also hear that Kurt Wimmer, director, is now moving on to do the vampire-based film version of Ultraviolet. Should be interesting.

The first time I watched this movie I thought it was very fantastic, one of the best movies I had ever seen, but after the second time I watching it , it seemed to have lost its charm with me, sadly.
