Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2005)

I never saw an ad for this film. I just heard from one person that it was a good movie and that I should go see it. I went into this film having no clue what it was about and I didn't know what to expect. I was completely blown away. This is one of the best movies I have ever seen.
When released in 1999 it was a revolution for the movie industry because it gave birth to visionary special effects. This movie joined the ranks of those before it that contain visionary special effects for its time including; the wizard of oz (1939) the star wars trilogy that began in (1977) the terminator (1984) and terminator 2 judgment day (1991).
Along with it's never before seen effects the matrix has a mind blowing plot. This movie perfectly illustrates the mind control of conformity and the importance of rebellion to create a diverse race and a sense of reality from individualism. This movie deals with the power of mankind and most importantly the power of the human brain. This movie makes me feel that I can become truly powerful by harnessing the raw power within myself by tapping into the unused power of my mind. But most importantly this movie has taught me to believe. As if the power of believing will set me free. (I think that it illustrates that anybody can achieve their dreams if they truly believe. That if we set our minds to something we really can make a difference in our lives and in the world.)
