I absolutely agree with Katz... yes this movie could have used a little more thought to plot to prevent the predictability, but it was less predictable then the Titanic or Pearl Harbor. In all, it was FUN, full of action & accurately reflected the nature of these kind of computer games in general. Just like X-men was made to have the comic book feel, this movie felt like the game.
I suspect most of masses in our culture have difficulties accepting a real-life kick ass woman who isn't a "bitch" (like the gal in Terminator) or a squeemish screamer like Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies. Had this been an animated show, our masses would have gladly accepted the bouncing breasts with the kick ass style, along with the "matrix-like" scenes. The bungee scene was simple to follow if you merely paid attention.
