whoa

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 1999)

This movie has risen to fame faster than any other in resent history. And with good reason. It has once again raised the bar for sci-fi and special effects. The plot is somewhat old-hat, for if you've seen alot of sci-fi movies, the idea of parallel universes ain't all that different. But you must look past that. 1) the acting and dialouge are great. The actor who played Smith was excellent. 2) the special effects 3) the set directions and the costumes are great. The settings all very spooky. 3 good reasons beyond a good plot to appreciate the Matrix. It's 20 on the IMDB's 250 list and I hope it stays there. This has to be one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever. It should be compared to films like '2001' 'Star Wars' and '12 monkeys'. It will undoubtebly bring the directors to international fame. Did I mention you should go see it?
