Matrix, The

USA 1999, 136 minutes
Dir. Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski
Rating: [M]
Genres: Science Fiction / Futurism

Topics: Computers & Tech, Post-Apocalyptic.

Feat. Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving, Carrie-Anne Moss

Aroview: Computer hacker Keanu Reeves is singled out by a high-tech guerilla network and trained as an operative to seize power from the evil guardians of the 'matrix'. Saturated in cosmetic cool and exhilarating state-of-the-art effects, the hottest sci-fi hit of the late 90s keeps you guessing with an intriguing (if slightly nonsensical) riff on the 'alternate-reality conspiracy' vogue.

5 stars (Exceptional) An absolute must-see actioner, complete with the first-ever bullet-time slow-motion effects, a gritty sci-fi world, dual realities, and philosophical underpinnings. ~Tom H

4 stars (Very Good) Besides the fact that the action scenes and soundtrack are AWESOME, I love this film because now whenever you're trying to explain Descarte's evil demon to someone, you can just mention this film and they'll understand what you're rambling about. ~artsfiend
