ok, but not a top 100 film

Rating: 7/10 (14 December 2001)

Matrix is a good movie, and history will show that it is the movie that made the DVD, as people went out and bought players to watch this movie. Innovative stunts and filming, you dont even notice reeves as the poor actor he is. Fishburn is- as usual- strong, and whoever plays agent smith does a great job. the Computer graffics left something to be desired (im a spoiled STAR WARS brat), but great music and its paced well. I felt the plot was rather predictable (when i start saying whats going to happen, then it must be obvious) and the religious and philosophical aspects were less than subtle, and i defy anyone to say this movie was "deep." Nevertheless, along with Gladiator and Episode 1, the Matrix is a movie that should be in every dvd collection
