You have to see it to believe it!

Rating: 9/10 (16 November 1999)

I went into the movie theater to see The Matrix because I had nothing better to do. I really had no idea what the movie was about, and didn't care for that matter. I especially hate most of Keanu Reeves' movies outside of a couple. So I could've never envisioned that The Matrix would have been one of the best movies of the year, second only to Fight Club. The plot is just about impossible to explain. The buildup for the movie included nobody saying what the matrix was, that you had to see it for yourself. I thought this was a catchy tagline, but it ends up it was true. A truly intriguing plot, that makes you think and a great soundtrack combine to make a great film. It also contains one of the greatest action sequences of all time. If you are a fan of sci-fi or action, you have to see The Matrix.
