Pleasant surprise

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 1999)

After seeing previews of this film, I knew I would want to see it, just for the special effects. But I also thought it would be a horrible film, mostly because of Keanu starring in it. I was pleasantly surprised. Other than a relatively weak premise, the Matrix delivers astounding visuals, intense action (great hand-to-hand combat scenes), tasteful to skilled acting, and (most surprisingly )a thought provoking story-line. This is one movie that is best when seen with no previous knowledge. So go see it. You will definitely be entertained.
