Why I liked "The Matrix"...

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 1999)

First of all I liked the movie very much. Why? For several reasons. First, I generally like this kind of movies. Second, I personally enjoyed to 'catch out' subtleties and associations concerning other movies or books. Third, I liked the philosophy in the film, more even than the action scenes. And, fourth of the reasons is that I understand quite well the problems Mr. Anderson dealt with in his regular job :) The thing most amazing was that in this movie it was almost impossible to tell what is going to happen in the next minute... Some movies are perfectly predictable - this one is not. Almost. I would also make the end slightly different, but this one was also thrilling. Hugo Weaving is perfect in his role. The Wachowski team did some really good work. I feel afraid to wait for Matrix II - somehow I don't believe it is going to be as good as this one is. I hope, however, that I'm wrong.
