Extremely satisfying viewing experience.

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 1999)

This film fairly exceeded my expectations. Right off the top of my head I cannot think of a single thing that I disliked about it (as I sit here listening to the soundtrack). I can't claim that this is a "good" or "great" movie, or give it a fair, unbiased rating. What I do say is that I'm extremely glad that I spent the 120 plus minutes sitting in the dark, and becoming totally absorbed into another reality. Movies to me are a total form of escapism, a glimps into impossible dreams, and in that aspect "The Matrix" more than accomplished its purpose.
