escape to/from reality ?

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 1999)

Some have commented that The Matrix is escapism...but how can we know for sure that is *is just* escapism ? That is the kind of question The Matrix leaves you asking - you are left with a sense of unreality that is almost real. Although on the surface the world of The Matrix may seem like an exaggerated "Virtual World", there are some elements that are perfectly and frighteningly plausible.
The overall "feel" of this film to me is like a cross between The X-files, Dark Skies, 1984 and a fantastic music video.
Truly Amazing !
