A motion picture presentation is for the sole purpose of entertaining its audience, it can be based on truth, fiction or a combination of both. Never the less it should not be confused with current reality.

Every now an then a film will come along that pushes imagination and technology to a new level. The Matix being one of those films. With its (at the time) cutting edge use of still photography techniques to the sophisticated CG it is a unique piece of art that touched many old, tried and true story lines, yet combined them with current ideas and fantasy.

For those who feel that this film was lacking in originality I have this to say. Art is never original, it is an imitation, improvisation and adaptation of many influences, ideas and concepts put together to create something new. The Matix is a modern Piece of art and a director's masterpiece that many will be enjoy for a very long time.
