It was part of the post-Matrix zeitgeist that I wasn’t a fan of. It wasn’t at all new when I saw it, but that stuff hadn’t totally blown over yet and I was still sick of it. Maybe having some more distance from it now would help. Also, I don’t like to make “he did x better, therefore y is bad,” but the stuff I like about that movie was better in Slacker and A Scanner Darkly.
