Not only a sci-fi film

Rating: 10/10 (11 April 1999)

Lots of comments of Matrix compare to many of the best sci-fi films around. Can I now compare it to many of the martial arts films I have seen. Lots of Bruce Lee / Jet Li influences were present in the main "training sequence" with tongue placed firmly in cheek. Taking into account that this is the first full on fight film that I have seen K.R. do, he didn't do too bad for a beginner. The choreography was excellent and helped by surprisingly few special effects. I have not enjoyed a film this much for a long time, but I think Star Wars Eps. 1 will superceed this - just.
