If George Lucas had made this,he would have been proud.

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2000)

This movie is an absolute tour-de-force.It took my breathe away and captured my imagination for weeks to follow.'High concept' is so necessary of big budget productions and the Wachowski brothers deliver.The only weak point is the dialogue and some of Neo's weak comments were most unbecoming of the saviour of the world.This is nonetheless overshadowed by a strong story,awe-inspiring special effects and solid performances by the emsemble cast.
To truly appeciate this movie,the only medium worth viewing it on outside a cinema would be a DVD.The DVD is a must for all fans since it provides insight into the making of a mega sci-fi movie.
I look forward to the sequels and I am sure that the Wachowski brothers will get back to work in their usual passionate way to produce trilogy- like episodes.
Lucas would have loved to have this movie to his name but for me Star Wars is still the benchmark against which all sci-fi productions must be measured by if only for the reason that it is a true trilogy.
