The Matrix and Control

Rating: 9/10 (8 February 2013)

The Matrix is a science fiction action film that blends religion, philosophy with amazing martial arts that support the theme of the film which is who is in control of your life. The film has amazing camera work weaving bullet time action with high wire tricks that gives the audience a sense of awe. The Matrix actors give powerful performances supporting each others roles as well as the theme. The Matrix is an examination of control that people have on their own lives. The Matrix has similarities to the movie Logan's Run which describe control from outside sources watching the population. The control factor is similar but from different points of view. I enjoyed this movie because of the special effects and action. The film's story is well defined and makes the audience think about who is controlling their lives. Finally after viewing this film you should ask the question: Am I living in the matrix or the real world?
