20 years later, still one of the best movies ever made

What can be said about The Matrix that hasn't already been said? If you haven't watched this movie yet, you've probably heard a lot of people praise it before, and every bit of that praise is well deserved. This movie is one of my all-time favorites, and each time I watch it, it only gets better.
You've probably also heard that this movie is mind-blowing, or mind-bending, or mind-boggling, or other words used to describe something crazy that starts with 'mind', and it is. This movie still makes me think days after I've watched it, and whenever it comes to mind I try to wrap my head around it, not because it's confusing, but because it's complex. After watching this movie you'll find yourself questioning reality and life as we know it, and what it really is.
This movie one of my all-time favorites because...well just because it's top-notch filmmaking. The story, if I haven't made it clear yet, is amazing. The action and fight scenes are as flawless as flawless gets, not to mention the influential CGI usage (the bullet-time scenes). The acting is superb, Keanu Reeves did a wonderful performance, likewise Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, and the rest of the cast. And the list goes on of the great things I could say about this movie, but I am not a fan of super long reviews, so I'm gonna end this before it becomes one, but not before I mention how good the soundtrack is...the soundtrack is really good.
If you haven't watched this movie already, do yourself a favor and do so. Yes, I know that "do yourself a favor" phrase is overused, but I'm gonna make an exception for The Matrix.
