Sci-fi ala Matrix

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 2002)

In 1999 Matrix just blew our mind. We had to wait three years, but here it is - another great sci-fi movie. And what makes it so good? Its a mix of mind breaking special effects encapsulating a good story and a twisting plot. As icing on the cake, we've got a marvelous cast, with Tom Cruise re-affirming himself in these types of roles, after his great interpretation in Vanilla Sky. I must say Vanilla Sky would have had a chance of being a really good sci-fi movie if only it wasnt stretched too much at the end. Same for AI. Well, i would say this film is still one step down from Matrix but thumbs up just the same. Definitely one to watch at the cinema!
