What a disappointment! I expected much better from the creators of "The Matrix." Even if you accept the movie for what it is, it needs to have 45 minutes cut out. The races make no sense at all. They consist of endless spins and jumps intended to be car karate. The characters each take turns making long, sappy speeches written by Hollywood committee. The movie's formula: speech, car karate, speech, people karate, speech... There is no dialog to make any of the characters seem real. There is no plot other than the idea that corporations are evil and the solution is to make them lose face (seriously? throwing chimp scat at people?). Throw in random images of a child and a chimp creating mayhem and some visual references to the original cartoon (Speed strikes his classic pose, Speed's bedroom wallpaper pattern) and that's the movie. The Wachowski brothers crashed and burned on this one.
