Thoughts on The Matrix (without giving anything away)...

Rating: Null/10 (18 June 1999)

An intellectual twist on the cyberpunk theme, drawing inspiration from the works of William Gibson, Philip K. Dick and even Terry Gilliam. Outstanding new special effects which may, according to some put The Phantom Menace in the shade, and the plot sidesteps nicely on a number of occasions allowing you to exercise the old grey matter a little. Lawrence Fishburne (Apocalypse Now, Boys N' The Hood, Event Horizon, Othello...) is as excellent and dramatic as ever. Keanu Reeves is, well just Keanu Reeves doing what he does best and that's looking perpetually confused. Also as the film is Australian, look out for a smattering of soap stars.....
Well worth two hours of your time.
