A Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2019)

20 years ago as I left the cinema from watching The Matrix, I was pissed off, it was an odd sensation and feeling. I had gone to see what I thought would be an action movie with some state of the art special effects, and kung fu.
I was pissed off because I was not at all prepared for such an amazing, intelligent and intricate story, to this day arguably one of the best in modern cinema and storytelling.
I am reticent to ever call this a science-fiction film, the 'sci' yes, but the 'fi', well, if you have seen this film you will understand.
This film set new standards in so many areas, I could write pages over so many small facets but I like to keep reviews fairly short. If you have any interest in film this is required viewing, it's as simple as that.
