Leather and (Digital) Lace

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 1999)

The Matrix represents the vision of so-called Generation X. We twenty and thirty-somethings have, each one of us, walked the Cyper-path in its earliest dust-covered incarnations, (even if that means we only dabbled with hallucinogens and techno-music), always dreaming of the time when technology would provide the world with the capability of *becoming* the video game. This movie is Virtual Reality as Descartes and other 'brain in a vat' enthusiasts would have it. And the eye candy in this film puts Titanic to shame.
