The Shrine

<div style='font: ; text-align: left; '>A pretty ridiculous concept and story, but fun to watch nontheless. The idea of the gun kata, while also a bit silly, was very very cool to watch. Especially the last scene, which was worth the price of the rental alone. I don't know why people said this was a Matrix rip. It the fight scenes had an entirely different feel, and the story was way more far-fetched (IMO at least).

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I don't see it as a Matrix clone. It was indeed worth the price of a rental.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, just rental. It was fun once</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Isn't Gun Kata a real artform?</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>Ridiculous concept? Bah! I admit Gun Kata is silly in an objective sense, but as you said, the flawless execution made it very sweet to behold on screen. And the Matrix ripoff crowd needs a kick in the nuts. Leather and sunglasses do not a Matrix ripoff make....</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>haha, no.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>You know nothing. This movie was worth the full price of admission in a theatre and holds up to repeat viewings. Damn Dimension for dropping the ball on this one so badly..</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Not really. It was good, not great. It's gonna go both ways, some will love it, others (like me) will think it was OK. IMO, it just wasn't deep enough (enough "depth") to be up there with the good action flicks</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>"Mind the uniform, Cleric. I plan to be wearing it for a long time."</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I think I could compare it to Blade 2: semi-unrealistic plot, great action.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Why not?</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Heh, it was awesome... COMPLETELY unbelievable but awesome. It's like they gave a 13 y/o boy a copy of 1984, a copy of the matrix and a whole bunch of caffeinated soda and told him to write a movie script.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>What frustrates me about that story is that with a little tweaking, it could have been more believable.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Go to a gun range and watch people who are good shots. Then imagine people who are good shots with, say, an M16.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>If someone has really based a fighting style around the probable angles of gunfire from assailaints (based on their distribution) and calculated the angles of counterattack with the highest probability of damage, while positioning themselves not to be hit, I haven't heard about it....</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Blade 2 just stank. Equilibrium was good, but not great</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>That sounds like about the worst movie ever, actually. I suddenly have this strange urge to see it.</div>
