It's intelligent!

Rating: 9/10 (8 April 2000)

The Matrix, despite some claims, is not just special effects. The film is visually and aurally stunning but that serves to better convey an idea that had me thinking long after the credits had rolled. The idea is that the world we are living in has been created for us...but it's not that simple.
In fact, this film is never simple. It's a visual and mental workout: cinema at it's best.
