Fantastic!

Rating: 9/10 (9 April 1999)

If you see only one movie this year, see "Phantom Menace". If you see two movies this year, see "The Matrix".
It really was way above my initial expectations. Intelligent, captivating, intriguing, mysterious... the way sci-fi should be.
The special effects were cool, but they pale in comparison to the brilliant plot and script.
My only minor complaint... fighting scenes looked too fake. None of them seem to put much force into their punches & kicks.
I'll give this one a 9.
