Sci-Fi suspense to the max!

Rating: 8/10 (14 May 1999)

The matrix is heavily influenced by a lot of other Sci-Fi films, most notably such movies as Blade Runner and Johnny Mnemonic. There is also a lot of stuff you'll notice from other films, not least Star Wars. The Marix is a wonderful movie with a pretty straight forward plot, but with some AMAZING effects and a really good feel. The director and the cast are superb in this movie, which could have been based on a William Gibson book. The Characters are very typical William Gibson characters and the level of violence is typically Gibson as well. All in all - go see it, if you enjoyed Johnny Mnemonic and/or Blade Runner you're gonna love this.
