Outstanding enjoyment for your eyes and mind

Rating: Null/10 (25 January 2000)

A lot has been said about this historical breakthrough in the art of cinematography. Of course, outstanding FX and soundtrack do a good job as key-components of a normal blockbuster. Good play of actors also adds some extra points. However, there is something that distinguishes the Matrix from all other successful science fiction movies. And this is not the extensively debated technological superiority but the specific spirit and philosophy, that is, the IDEA behind the screenplay. How can we explain injustice and cruelty of the world around us? Why is it so imperfect?
