Tolerable

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2000)

I saw the Matrix when it was released on the cinema. I hadn't heard any raves before I saw it - I went to see it on account of generally liking sci-fi type stuff. You check your disbelief in at the door for this type of movie so, given that, the basic premise of The Matrix was interesting. Also, the slo-mo visual effects were good. However, the plot was corny, one cliche after another. Maybe I've just seen too many movies of this type or maybe I'm too old and jaded for this stuff at 27. The Matrix is presumably a hit with the teen market.
