a new paradigm in film

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 1999)

Along with such recent films as Trainspotting and Run, Lola, Run, The Matrix represents a new benchmark in the evolution of the cinema. Sure, the storyline is nothing new to science fiction and comic book fans (I happen to remember an early issue of Fantastic Four that dealt with the same subject matter), but the style and even the substance of this little masterpiece from the Brothers Wachowski will give even the most critical mind something to chew on during repeated viewings. Not for everyone 6 Highly recommended. Huzzah.
