Original!!!

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2003)

This movie should tell all the hollywood execs what a good movie should have: A GOOD ORIGINAL STORY!!! Special effects cannot make a movie successful. Case in point: The One, a Matrix ripoff that was all effects, dumb story and bad acting. Alright, so maybe the Matrix story reminds me of the Terminator, but is different in that the machines cannot simply kill humans off, but instead must maintain them.
Keaneu Reeves was perfect for the part of Neo. Lets be honest: the guy hasn't acted yet. Thus the irony of Reeves being known as Neo like Schwarzenegger as the Terminator, but I digress...
The Matrix opened up a whole new genre. Not too many movies can claim that! The first time you see the movie, the first 30 minutes drive you nuts because you are clueless where it is going. But it gets tied up for you like the perfect present.
I simply cannot say enough good things about this original classic...
