My favorite sci-fi movie ever!

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2001)

Yes, though I am a Classic Trekkie, I think even the best classic Trek movie, Star Trek II, pales in comparison to this great piece of plastic (we own it on DVD, lucky us).
The story was somewhat original when it first came out: Neo, a man living in what he thinks is the real world, comes to the realization (with the help of Morpheus and his colleagues) that he's living in a computer-generated simulation, to keep his mind busy and unaware while the evil Machines use his body and the bodies of billions of others as power source.
Well, that's the basic storyline, and it's one with very awesome potential. Of course, Neo and his buddies whoop up on their enemies; I won't tell you how... I will let you be blown away by the direction and wire-work, not to mention the special effects (Bullet time! You have to see it to understand it completely).
I can't wait for the sequel, but it looks like I'll have to (come on, 2002, get here quickly! I also need to watch SWEp2! And the sequel to X-Men, and so many other great ones :) )
