One of the BEST action films of all time.

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2003)

The Matrix, starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Ann Moss, and Hugo Weaving, is an amazing film about a normal citizen nicknamed Neo (Reeves) who is called upon by Morpheus (Fishburne), a mysterious man who believes that Neo is the chosen one who can save the world from Agent Smith (Weaving) and his other almost immortal agents. The movie takes place in two different worlds. The real world, which is dark and evil, and the Matrix, which is a computer generated modern day world, which normal people think that they live in. The only people who know that the Matrix is fake are Morpheus, his band of helpers, the Agents, and now Neo. The incredible scope and depth of this movie is somewhat overwhelming. The 'good guys' transport between the two world by way of telephone, which confused me and most likely everyone who has seen it. However the action, the special effects, and the cinematography are beyond amazing, making this one of the coolest action films of all time. Keanu Reeve's acting is definitely not Oscar worthy, but he looks good in his sunglasses and trench coat while flying through the air and taking out tons of guys in the process. The movie does have a corny ending that then, to some extent, leaves you hanging, however because of the amazing special effects, actions scenes, and creative plot, it's definitely a great movie.
