This movie is about exactly as good and philosophically deep and engaging as The Matrix was, which is to say, in absolute terms, not very much, but for a Hollywood action block buster it's still quite an achievement. In other words, it uses some pop psychology/comic book science and morality to set up a rather shallow background to ground the action scenes in that dominate the latter half of the movie. Which makes it at least more thoughtful and intelligent than the majority of such movies, which don't even pretend to get to that level. As to the action scenes, they're all very competently executed and quite engaging at times. The characters are all archetypes and quite shallow, which is to be expected, but none of that makes this a bad movie. I thought it was quite entertaining. Don't go pretending it makes any deep philosophical statements or that the plot is deep or complicated (or even makes any sense in real-world terms) whatsoever, just like you wouldn't when watching The Matrix, and you can have quite the fun time watching it. All in all I'd say it rates about a 3.5 out of 5.
