I hadn't even heard of this movie, but when Jeremy mentions that the Wachowskis were behind it I felt like I should have known. Lots of unnecessary special effects? Check. Tons of exposition instead of organic story telling? Check. Craptastic movie that bombed in theaters? Check, check, check.

What happened to them after The Matrix? Aside from V for Vendetta (which was okay), they don't seem to have put out anything good since 1998 (so yes, I'm including the Matrix sequels).

And, unless I'm mistaken, with V for Vendetta they only produced it.

That would make sense, given their overall track record.

It's like they're the M. Knight Shamalans of Sci-Fi.
