Finally saw it the other night. Another fine excuse for lots of wire-fu and CG, intertwined with a lot of stuff on Gnosticism and free will that kinda broke my head, but in a good way.
I'll give them just one more movie to write themselves out of the central flaw of the premise, though. Yeah, I know that the average movie-goer isn't going to understand the concept of distributed processing or using the human race as a beowulf cluster, but the fall-back explanation they came up with blatantly breaks the Laws of Thermodynamics and annoys me more and more every time I think about it. The human body is not a perpetual motion machine, and the arrow of entropy points only one way.
