3.5 stars. Innovative action and plot for its time. Elrond turned in a marvelous performance as antagonist Agent Smith. However, innocent humans serving as police officers and security guards get slaughtered for the sake of good. C'mon. Some inconsistencies with the capabilities of AI from one scene to the next. All that said, it's a great cautionary tale about the overreach of AI and technocratic societies. There is no spoon? Half right, sort of. There is, in fact, a spoon, but the truth The Matrix was groping for is that the unseen reality is deeper and more real than the physical reality. That is truth you can take to Zion.
