Do you remember what it was like the first time you saw all those cool effects for the first time when seeing “The Matrix” (1999)? 

Okay, we’ll this isn’t totally like that, but pretty close as far as awesome action and effects that push the limits a little bit more… there’s no groundbreaking like “bulletime”, but there are some very cool visuals!!!
