Another Sci-Fi Hit!!!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 1999)

The 1990's is going to be a memorable year for the Sci-Fi genre. With films like "TOTAL RECALL" "THE FIFTH ELEMENT" "JURASSIC PARK" "TERMINATOR 2" "EVENT HORIZON" and "12 MONKEYS" they were all excellent films that provided imagination, along with plenty of intellengence and excitement. Now before the Sci-Fi genre hits full throttle (with EPISODE I), you can say the engine is warming up, and it warms up well with THE MATRIX. THE MATRIX is a interesting mix of "THE FIFTH ELEMENT" "12 MONKEYS" and "TOTAL RECALL" it's about a computer hacker (Keanu Reeves) who's is inducted into a gang (led by the always wonderful Laurence Fishburne) into realizing what reality is, and what is the mystery behind the MATRIX? What is THE MATRIX? Ha! I'm not going to tell you, you're going to have to see the movie to find out! But you'll be pleased when you do see it. The movie does have a lot of imagination, and excitement. It also have great effects, excellent action scenes, brilliant directing, and decent acting. Leave it to the Wachowski brothers to make a exciting film. I am wondering after making BOUND and THE MATRIX, on what they are going to be doing next? Until then go see this wonderful sci-fi flick. It will calm down your excitement before May 19th hits. ****1/2 out of *****
