Ground Breaking Effects

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2004)

The Matrix certainly was a ground breaking movie when it was first released. In time the effects will seem dated, but the story will continue to resonate.
It's fair to say that Keanu Reeves probably isn't the greatest actor to grace a movie. But his rather one dimensional style is perfectly suited for the role of Neo. The rest of the cast are in fine form and it leads to a very enjoyable couple of hours of escapism. I'm not really a massive fan of sci-fi, but this is one of the better films of the genre. 8/10.
