Not all geeks liked it. My group was more than annoyed with the ending, or the fade, or the big snooze, or whatever it was. We went to the theater to see a movie, presumably one with a plot. Sure, the beginning was super, and the artistic effects were well done. The animation was adequate, notwithstanding the waxen complexions, the stiff lips, and the suspect syncroniztion. But the screen writing, the editing, the pathetic pseudotheology, the plot holes that you could drive trains through, all were miserably inadequate. Okay, a question -- what was the ending? The thing simply stopped. There _was_ no ending, There were no resolutions, few lessons, no answers, no life, no death, no nuthin' ... One could convincingly argue that they all died and Aki (Dr. Aki? Puhhllease... she looked 15 years old!) could've been dreaming again. Gack. Bottom line: as a movie and as a story, this thing sucked. The theater-going equivalent of 'Hello World'...
