The Matrix is the most mindblowing and groundbreaking achievement since the time of its release

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2012)

Apart from 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Dark Knight' trilogy, 'The Matrix' is perhaps the greatest cinematic achievement since its release year, 1999.
I've seen the Matrix a few times and mainly seen the action dozens of times. Today, I re-watched the movie and was more than blown away by the movie. The Matrix is just groundbreaking and jaw dropping in pretty much every aspect. The acting is fantastic, even Keanue Reeves did a splendid job in this movie, the visual effects are revolutionary, the plot behind it is so unique and nothing but masterfully directed, written in amazing style with brilliant dialogue and action, containing great stunt work. A mix of CGI with practical effects certainly makes this movie all the more realistic and groundbreaking
The Matrix is about a young man who experiences that he lives in two different worlds; one he is a computer hacker, the other he is an employee at a computer software company. He is taken by a mysterious man named Morpheus and is shown the truth about humanity and that something called the 'matrix' is concealing the truth away from ordinary citizens. The world, in the present year of 2099, is covered in ruins after incidents that happened long before. This movie is pretty much all about Neo becoming the One to fulfill the prophecy and becoming the One.
The plot in this movie can be so confusing at times if you do not pay attention, much like Inception. When the comparison does come, I always will say that the Matrix is a more amazing piece of art and is actually regarded as amazing by some and the most overrated movie by others. Calling this the most overrated movie ever is like calling Avatar the greatest. It doesn't work like that.
No movie in my Top 10 of all time do I have a single issue with expect this movie, which turns out to be a minor issue under great directing, writing, acting, characters, story and action as well as breathtaking visuals. That is the music which could've been done better. That is easily forgotten when an action scene I've seen dozens of times before still intensifies me so all is forgiven.
'The Matrix' is easily one of the most memorable movies of all time and those who trash this movie should go back to watching Batman and Robin. Truly one of the best movies ever made: Groundbreaking, Epic, Visually Stunning, Masterpiece. Belongs in my Top 10 list. A+
