Perception: The Everyday World is Real. Reality: That World is a hoax, an elaborate deception spun by all-powerful machines of artificial intelligence that control us.
Mind blowing stunts. Techno-slamming visuals. Megakick action. Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne lead the fight to free humankind in The Matrix, the cyber thriller that you will watch again and again. Written and Directed by the Wachowski brothers (Bound), the story sears, the special effects stake out new movie-making territory - the movie leaves you breathless.

I can't believe how everyone was suckered by this abysmal excuse for a film. It seems that you can totally hoodwink an audience by giving them some half-baked techno babble and pass it off for a script full of wisdom.
For an action movie it has little action of repute because you know that the protagonist will prevail. You know he wont be harmed and frankly you don't care as he lacks any charisma. To top it off the end could have come from a primary school pupil who has 'love' save the day.
An invincible lead character just sucks the life out of any tension certain scenes may have developed. Even Bond has an audience worried sometimes.
Save your money as this film had already been made a million times better in 1991. It starred Arnie and is called T2.
This is what Sci-fi is all about , cracking story line , excellent action and state of the art special effects which aren't over used.
Not a huge fan of the limited acting skills of Keanu Reeves but he does play this one spot on and its hard to think of anyone else playing the role other than him as he has made the Neo character almost iconic...try thinking of someone else playing the Terminator instead of Arnold or John McClane instead of Willis...you get the point !
when i 1st watched at the age of 11 now 19 its hard to belive this was out in 1999 its the 1st time a saw effects like this and the use of bullet time ...critics said this bullet time was stupid and wouldnt work now most movies are using it.i had to watch this movie 3 times before i understood it..i mean the story is just pure amazing its mind blowing and the effects in it beat some movies that are even made today in 2008 i mean this is a must own dvd on of my fav action movies of all time
Brilliant movie, even if you don't understand it in parts, the effects just make the whole thing worthwile, the slow mo and bullet time effects have still not been used in a better way 10 years later. Keanue was perfectly cast. Sadly it was all down hill for the series after this, after it seemed to get a bit too clever for itself. Shame
