Is good Sci-Fi back for a while???

Rating: Null/10 (12 April 1999)

I've got to tell you, The Matrix suprised the hell out of me. I expected a poorly executed, FX overloaded, nonsensical, wanna be blockbuster.
I'm glad I was wrong!
The Matrix was excellent. The plot is classic (and well used) science fiction. If you've read Neuromancer, Entoverse, Realtime Interupt, or a dozen others, you'll feel right at home. There are the usual holes that you find in Sci-Fi movies (but not books), but overall they got a very technical concept across to Joe Idiot very well.
First Fifth Element, now The Matrix. I am amazed. Maybe The Thirteenth Floor will be good too! And I thought all I had to look forward to this year (at the box office) was Star Wars and South Park!!!
