The Matrix: The Beginning
Check this out. It's a downloadable short movie (20 mins, 42.3 MB) made by some European fans about Neo's father

The special FX were better than I expected, but Bullet Time looked more like Mong Time and the fight sequences have to be seen to be believed
If you like it, they've even put up a PDF of a DVD cover for your pleasure.

Someone posted this on another site I visit, and it has to be the worst thing I've ever seen. The agents are wearing old worn out sneakers and the fights look like they were choreographed for the blind.

I've got to say that i can usually respect someone who makes a film like this, but this was just bad. I'd be embarassed to show that to the world personally. The only decent effect was the agent moving really quick so as to dodge the bullets. That actually looked almost like the real movie. Bad bad bad...i couldn't even finish watching it haha

Some trivia. And I quote:
These are some of the most unathletic people I've seen in my life.
The website is a riot. This has to be a joke.
Did you know that on the last day of recording, the grass was cut in the park before our noses? If you look carefully, you may notice that some shots were recorded with shorter grass.

» Another question. Would you like to do something in the movie industry in th future, now you did this?
Ann-Sophie: Yes, I would like it to become an actress, but I’m afraid it won’t come that far…
» When Cesam Productions will make a new movie, can you be tempted again to play a part in it?
Ann-Sophie: Yes, actually, I was already offered the part of Bond girl in their next project, but nothing is certain yet.
» I heard there were many candidates for the part of Bond girl.
Ann-Sophie: Yes, but I am their number one choice !
» Ok, thank you for this interview, I wish you good luck in the future!

Not a big bond fan but i'm sure the bond fans will be happy to know that these guys may screw up bond too.
This is from their guestbook, this guy got really really really rude
Okay, I only have a few criticisms of the film to make:
1. The whole thing sucks.
2. Also, the rest of it totally sucks.
3. Seriously, it sucks bigtime. Kill yourselves.
4. It's so bad, it's not even funny. Not like suicide.
5. This guy I know, he killed himself in the bath. Please try this for your next project.
6. Who is the pansy with the massive head?
7. The fat boy who plays the girl - can he not get proper support for his sagging man-boobs?
8. How come the agent couldn't afford a white shirt that fits his neck?
9. Why were none of you drowned at birth?
10. What is wrong with baldy - my friend says it is muscular dystrophy but i think it is the flesh-eating virus?
11. "Well at least we do something usefull with our spare time". aaaand that would be......?
12. Have any of you ever hit anyone or anything in your entire lives? You all look like you have brittle bones.
13. Oh, and I'd just like to mention the shoes again. Are you homeless? Buy some shoes!

However, if they were following the storyline, wouldn't Neo techincally be his won father? You know, the whole "five previous Neos" thing from the peice of crap Matrix: Reloaded

At least the music was good, although the on-screen energy didn't always match...
Some of the visual effects were decent too. Otherwise, yeah, that was kind of sad.
