Nice action movie ...

Rating: 7/10 (10 April 1999)

I went to see the Matrix thinking it would be a cool science fiction film, with lots of interesting twists. It turned out to be mostly an action film with some nice fight scenes, more along the lines of a Chuck Norris or Jackie Chan film. I am a big science fiction fan, and I was a little disappointed that the film wasn't more interesting, but I enjoyed it anyway.
Keanu Reeves looked good as always, but didn't achieve any kind of epiphany or express much human emotion (also as usual, unfortunately.) I would really like to see him increase his emotional range and expressiveness. Without it, he's just too 2D.
