It's a great movie, combining both the cyberpunk and surrealism genres!!!

Rating: Null/10 (28 January 2000)

When i first saw The Matrix, it reminded me of some books i once read. These books were Dune, Magician and some obscure cyberpunk novel without a name...
I was thrilled by the action-packed shots of the action scenes, but what astonished me most was the supreme mix of cyberpunk, fantasy, science-fiction and of course surrealism. As a cyberpunk/surrealistic movie it definitely kicks ass... (i especially liked the déja-vu thing, as it gave a nice view on "reality" in "The Matrix-world") The way the "real world" and "The Matrix-world" are intermixed and intertwined with each other was just f***cking great! If you get shot in The Matrix, you'll die in the outside world and vice versa...
The whole concept of the movie is steady as rock, as a "director" myself, i'd like to see the script...
This is definitely one of those movies which shouldn't be sequelled...it could only get worse...
P.S. Great effects!
