 This is, The One..... Jan 01, 2009
Great action movie. Jet Li and Statham are terrific together in this multi-verse flik. The CGI effects are good and it has good story-line. Jet Li is just too cool of a fighter and yet you see him fight himself in this title. I thought it was very entertaining and action packed and would recomend it as should buy movie.
The One Vs. Neo: Now That's A Fight I'd Pay To See Oct 27, 2008
What if The Matrix's Neo was not born with his abilities, but rather acquired them after killing some 125 versions of himself in parallel universes? In in overly simple statement, that's the basic premise of the movie. Kill one version of you dies, that makes the remaining versions stronger. You can dodge bullets, become ultra smart, ultra strong... basically like Neo. Kill all the other versions and the universe either explodes, or you become god. So is THE One's plan until he meets his last version, and since both THE One and The One are both on equal power, this One might be a bit harder to kill. If you're not confused yet, then by all means buy the movie.
For the action/sci-fi fan, there's plenty of entertainment to behold, and much to sink your teeth in. From the original premise, to fight sequences to the general action, there's certainly enough to keep you going, and the movie succeeds where it should fail. Add a young Jason Statham, and you got a great popcorn flick. Sure, there's a plothole or two, it'll inevitibly be compared to The Matrix, and you'll be perplexed and confused throughout half the movie, but it could have done a lot worse. Get for a rental, check it out on cable, you'll be entertained.
A decent flick, as I recall... It's been a while. Aug 12, 2008
I seem to recall this was a pretty good sci-fi / martial arts type movie. Though I also recall it was a little weird in parts.
I generally enjoy Jet Li's work, even if he does have a few weird or "dark" roles. In this one, he plays both the good guy and the bad guy(s).
I seem to recall it's more or less sci-fi fluff. Good for killing a lazy weekend afternoon. But probably nothing that would ever go up for an Oscar.
 Good although not excellent sci-fi fare Aug 03, 2008
Martial arts sci-fi thriller in which Jet Li plays a villain called Yu Law murdering versions of himself in parallel worlds so that he can become `the one', a being of unlimited power. But he has met his match in the version of himself known as Gabriel Law. This film is not bad and Jet Li does a decent job playing good and evil versions of himself. The special effects and fight scenes stand out and are really what make the film. Brit actor Jason Statham also does a passable job as a `multiverse agent' out to apprehend the evil Yu Law and bring him to justice. But although enjoyable this film does not reach the heights necessary to be considered excellent. Still, good enough sci-fi fare.
