An unhappy programmer finds out... some stuff that would be spoilers.

Huh. Well that hasn't aged well. After seeing it a few times, the once-mind-bending science fiction has nothing to offer, and instead I just notice how it doesn't hold up to too much thought. And after the last decade, the movie's once-awesomely-innovative style just looks like every other bad action movie. It's really only got two good things left: Mr. Smith, and Hugo Weaving.

I'm glad I finally watched the entire trilogy--but it just gets worse as it goes along. And it isn't worth trying to make sense--or a religion--out of it. Much too much mumbo jumbo. But the leads are still great.
Overall a lot of fun, though I have to wonder what this movie would have been like if it was made today, with the advances we've made in the Internet (not to mention AI)
Excellent movie based on the comic books. While written in response to Margaret Thatcher's rule of Britain, the tale is 100% applicable to America under the [Un-]Patriot Act.
