I have witnessed a new level of stupid

THIS is the kind of movie that the clowns in Idiocracy, 500 years in the future, when everybody is dumbed down, would make.

I mean, ONE GUY stands in the midst of twelve machine gun holding opponents, and he slaughters them all without getting shot ONCE by a machine gun bullet? How stupid does one have to be to accept such a PREPOSTROUS premise? IS it THAT hard to find good shoot em up movies that do not make you feel stupid watching them?

Please, folks reading this, if you want to see an unintentional PARODY of the Matrix, this is the movie for you (has Mystery Science Theater 3000 covered this dog yet?)

My only problem, besides wasting 2 hours of my life that I will NEVER get back -- I made a list of the seemingly interesting SCI FI films I have not seen yet and bought that this film being rated 7.5 on IMDB must thus be worth seeing -- this scares the bejesus out of me that maybe my list is not worth pursuing any further...

WOW, I feel stupid just thinking about this dumb, dumb flick.
(those rating it 7.5 get to vote for president? NO WONDER THIS COUNTRY IS SO DEEPLY messed up).

PS -- That explains it, I just looked up KURRT WIMMER, just to find out what else he has done SO I CAN AVOID IT. Get this, he has done TWO other films I consider some of the WORST OF ALL TIME, the Total Recall remake and Ultraviolet. THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING. My GOD, how's this bozo get money to make this garbage?

1. He's supposed to be an elite fighter, far above his opposition.
2. It's Science FICTION, not a documentary.

I think your stupid wasting so much time posting on a Internet forum about a movie you don't like.

The 'clowns' in Idiocracy would make movies like R.I.P.D. and Transformers actually, pandering crap that has no substance or style but is 'entertaining' enough that they can stuff popcorn in their mouths and watch without hurting themselves.

enough that they can stuff popcorn in their mouths and watch without hurting themselves.

I dunno... that thar Pop Corn can have some pretty sharp kernel husks on it, ya know...!

"pandering crap that has no substance or style but is 'entertaining' enough that they can stuff popcorn in their mouths and watch without hurting themselves."

Describes Equilibrium quite well.

Did neither of you watch that movie?
The movies they make show a naked butt for two hours and nothing else.

Now, how are you going to get back the time spent posting that drivlery and reading the un-satisfying comments people post against you? Guess what? You wil NEVER get this time back, never, ever, ever again ;)

the irony is astounding.
A 'clown' of Idiocracy probably can't recognize he's one

1. its shows the Dangers of eliminating Emotion and Chaos
2.its Science Fiction not Science Fact*

though Science Fiction has done from Time To Time but even its not exact just be grateful we have War and Emotions.
