At last, a movie that dares to make you think

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 1999)

It was wonderfully refreshing to finally remember what it used to be like at the cinema. After the last few years of trash that has come out of hollywood, with the same old crap storylines, but with piles of effects. At Last a movie that made me forget I was just watching a film, forget that I was even in a cinema. For the first time since Leon, I got completely caught up in the movie, forgetting that it was just a bunch of actors going through a routine, but a well crafted, clever, original movie. From the first scene, when I found myself going 'f**k me' I was captivated into the world of the Matrix. I won't spoil it for anyone by talking about the plot, but only to say, if you haven't seen it..GO. I believe this will be a milestone for future films, hopefully they won't just be copies, but will make filmmakers think about making something clever and entertaining.
In summary a great film, very original, very clever special effects and wonderful fight scenes.
