GOOOOO Cyber-Jesus (some spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 2001)

This might have some spoilers in it, so be forewarned.
Okay, the Matrix is entertaining, I'll give it that, but it can't really be called original. It's thought provoking in the sense that I had to "think" about where I've seen this story before. This movie plays out like a story from the bible. Neo is a Jesus like character...I mean he's "the one". He's gonna save humanity. Well whoopie!! He's gonna show us the "truth", when in reality, most of us would probably prefer to stay blissfully unaware. He's betrayed by "one of his own", and the betrayer is killed. Sounds like a bit like Judas to me...but anyway...there's more though! Neo is even killed and he's "resurected" in a fashion..from then on he's really kicking ass. WHOOPIE!!
Despite all of this, I liked the movie...for what it was. I mean, the special effects were great, and the story was entertaining, but again, not original. The best part was humans being likened to a virus. If that ain't the truth!! Anyway, it's worth seeing, but I don't understand why it was given such a high ranking in peoples all-time-favorite movies. It's was good, not great.
