Everything is just right....

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2000)

..from the acting to the soundtrack, to the visual effects, to all the twists...I just loved the fact that I could; FOR ONCE; watch a sci-fi movie and actually *understand* it the first time around.
But what I loved the most is how this flick takes you to another world. A world where being the lead character requires you to do the hardest things, because they're the right things. Like Blade Runner's Ford and "5th Element's" Willis, this movie takes you to another world; futuristic and intense.
How cool was it to refer to having 'deja-vu' as experiencing a glitch in the Matrix. "It's when they change something", Moss replies. That was cool!
Not sure about the plot holes, though. I didn't realize there were any.
I *do* think there could've been a lot less "gun" violence...the White Zombie song playing in the background while Reeves and Moss blow away innocent people could've easily been playing during martial arts scenes or the slow-motion 'dodge-the-bullet' moves.
Either way, 'The Matrix' is a 9.5 out of 10.
