Thomas Anderson is a man searching for answers, by day a respectable computer programmer, by night the infamous hacker known only as Neo. When fate brings him to the attention of the man simply known as Morpheus, his entire perception of reality is shaken and the truth is discovered about the true nature of the very world and mans existence within it. Neo will learn of the prophecy foretelling the coming of the One and the forces opposed to him and all humankind, and the answer to the question, what is the Matrix?
One of the most visually appealing films to have graced the silver screen. A truly original and unique film going experience with mind bending action, the Wachowskis bring the first of their mind bending trilogy to the screen. Philosophical at its very core that leads one to believe that this ground breaking film is more than just a simple action film. Highly original in its story and well acted by its principal players is a must see for any fan of film. One of those films that must not only be viewed but experience by the viewer. Reeves and Fishburne fit into their roles respectively and do a masterful job of bringing the heroism, suspense and intrigue to the forefront. Reeves who isn't known for his stellar performances, really outdoes himself and what may go down as his most iconic and famous role of his career. The film is a mind bending ride that deliverers in its attempt to not only sweep away the viewers but truly invests the viewer in not only the story and characters but in the alter techno fantastic world of The Matrix.
