There's a moment right at the end that would have elevated this film to something really worth recommending. Some movies greatly benefit from a conclusion open to interpretation. This is one of them. It gave me the same feeling I had all those years ago watching Total Recall. But they didn't do that here. The final scene is very clear and I think that was a poor choice. Unless the focus is commentary on human behavior, in which case it makes sense. Still, the alternative would have been spectacular. How cool is Laurence Fishburne? He's been one of my favorite actors since Event Horizon + The Matrix, and in each project following that he never misses. Role of the captain he plays is pretty much perfect. Even when the twists, turns and second-guessing begins, it still fits whatever outcome you may have in mind. That kind of presence and versatility is pure talent, and I never get tired of seeing it. Everybody else does a great job in their respective roles, but Morpheus steals the show. They likely could have removed 15 minutes and the film would have been better for it. You can definitely feel some drag. While this doesn't outright ruin anything, I probably would have rated it higher otherwise.

Science fiction is my first love so I have to admit I got pretty excited when I first discovered this film but after I hit the launch button I was disappointed that it was unable to reach orbit. The most generous thing I can say about it is it has great sets and Good actors. Looks kinda like a film due to a efforts of a good D. O. P. But functions more like a cure for insomnia due to derivative story we all know well. I Can't help but feel the script should of stayed in deep hibernation along with the characters despite the efforts of a valiant cast fighting to bring them to life. Half asleep with one eye open I was still able to sniff out where this was going. Is this one of those tax write off projects I've heard about? I can only bring myself to three stars, one for the sets, one for the D. O. P., and one for managing to convince such a good cast to board a spaceship heading nowhere.
