The movie wasn't as great as I hoped it might be, but I really enjoyed it, and so did my 9-yr-old. Minus: The story was a bit weak with a few loose ends and some slow parts. But hey, who goes to these movies for the plot? Pluses: The cyber world is intricate, surreal, art-y, absorbing. Effects and action scenes are gentler and much less violent than many action movies today, yet still exciting, which I find refreshing. If you just sit back with a tub of popcorn and watch, you'll probably really enjoy it, too. Oh, and if you like Ducati bikes, you'll get a minor thrill with that, too.
I enjoyed this movie for the most part. It was entertaining. It was fun to watch, one of the better summer movies so far. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for young kids, however -- very violent., especially the final fight scene. I took my 7 year old son and his friends and one of the boys was terrified and had to leave the theater.
