Forget all the Snooty Critics, this is a Fun Movie that is Eye Candy Elitism at its Mind-Numbing best. All Flash and Frenzy with a dash of Down and Dirty this Thing plays with the Audience as it plays out its Outlandish Plot. Star Power and Powerful State of the Art (2001) SFX make this a very Watchable Guilty Pleasure.
A trap that is imminent in Movies, a heavy inclusion of Computers and the constantly changing Operating Systems, is glaring and the Movie relies way too much on this Anachronistic Pitfall. These Things are almost always Outdated before the Movie even hits the Multiplexes and by the Time it is released on Disc it can seem Laughably Lame. Computer Capabilities and Performance have a Shelf Life of about a Minute and a Half.
But Technobabble aside, this is nothing more than one more of those that are made to sell tickets and popcorn. If You are looking for something to make a whole lot of sense and have more than a few Brain Cells firing at the same time, don't expect that here.
