A great thriller

Rating: 7/10 (3 May 2007)

When it came to watching the Matrix I went in thinking it was going to be another one of those sci-fi films. But isn't, although it has flaws it works. The storyline for one is fantastic, as is the direction but the one thing that I think worked the best are the stunning visual work. It is a good visual spectacular and it really makes the world believable relying on sets as well as CGI. BUT there are flaws. The acting for one is not top notch (exceptions Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving) I was not a big lover of Keanu Reeves never will be I just didn't like the performance. Again it is good but it is not a classic, in terms of the critics it is over rated but it will stand as one of the most visually enthralling and most exciting picture of all time.
