This film is bold and for that I've given it bonus points. It's part romance, part violence and quite a bit of filler.
The film reminds me of a art house project with a big budget. It feels fragmented as it switches between a romance/drama and hardcore action flick. I found myself being bored by the characters - not caring about them or their plight. They added nothing to the story.
If I had to describe what was fun, it was revisiting the first Matrix film, it was seeing a "fan fiction" film made by a wachowsky. It was seeing Neo and Trinity engaging each other. I also enjoyed Neil Patrick Harris with some of his dialogue - he was spot on at times.
Overall, it's an OK film. It's too different from the original. It lacks thought provoking. The action scenes feel flat. The characters don't do much. The motives are not strong.
I'd give it a go. Support the gamble taken in making this film: it's genuinely different. Just think romance with martial arts and it might help.
Contains at least one graphic scene. Not recommended for squirmish teens.
