Concept: 1/4 (Bad)
Story: 0/4 (Terrible)

Dialog: 0/4 (Terrible)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 1/4 (Bad)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 4/10 (Eh, 2/4). It alternates between bad philosophizing, and repetitive fight scenes. There's about ten minutes of good action (the stuff that doesn't involve Neo, interestingly), and lots of nice visuals, enough to just barely make it a watchable - if boring - movie. The writing is so awful, though.
Objective Rating (Average): 1.4/4 (Bad)
