Cool

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2003)

I won't describe this movie or tell you what it's about cos that's what imdb is for.It's thought provoking, and complicated but suprisingly easily understandable.I was suprised i liked it, seeing as I hate Sci-fi movies, but this one is diffrent.Complicated without being annoying. The acting in this movie is great as it really suits the feel of the movie.Some may accuse Keanu Reeves of being a wooden actor, but they are wrong because the way he acted in this film made it even better, and he played the role as it should have been done.Laurence(SP)Fishbourne does well too, showing prowess as the leader and Neo's sort-of mentor.Carrie-Anne Moss is the best as Trinity.Finally a female heroine who's effective, cool, and deadly without coming over all Xena-ish or worse, Charlie's Angels like.Hugo-Weaving is just right for the bad guy, and he's so evil you start to like him.The Special effects are like millions noticed in 1999-amazing.Today, they are still not outclassed simply because in the film it's not horribly overused-it's in a big mixture of all the successful ingredients.To sum it up, The Matrix is a one-of-a kind film which many have since tried to copy, but never get as good. Just watch it unprepared for what you're about to see and you won't be disappointed.
