The Matrix - Are we really free and self controlled ?

Rating: 9/10 (1 September 2014)

The Matrix is a science fiction action thriller movie. It depicts a future in which humans are being controlled and their world is being simulated by large network of machines and highly intelligent programs. And everything that any human senses (touch, feel, see) is just a dream. The human body's heat and electrical activities are being used as energy source by the machines.
Meanwhile there is a group of human beings who are free and are fighting for freedom. Their leader Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) believes that Neo (Keanu Reeves) is "the one" and that one day he will free them all. In dream world Neo is hacker, he is approached by Morpheus to join them.Initially he hesitates but at the end Neo joins them. Initially Neo doesn't believes that he is "the one" but at the end he realizes about his unbounded power and fights against the machine's protector programs and kills one of them, which was thought to be impossible till then.
The movie revolves around Neo , Morpheus , Trinity(Carrie-Anne Moss) and agent Smith(Hugo Weaving). Neo and Trinity like each other but Trinity reveals it only at the end. Overall its an action packed movie. Initially it is really hard to understand what's going on in the movie. As movie begins by redefining the nature of reality but when one starts to understand that what is going on it becomes very interesting. Since its an imaginary world the action scenes are quite amusing and exciting.
The Matrix did not bore me at all except for the starting half hour. But later the plot turned out to be very interesting. At the end I was so much interested that I watched its part 2 and part 3 on same day. For part 1 I had hoped that something more would have happened at the end of it. But anyway, overall it was a nice movie. A recommended movie to watch for those who love action , science fiction or thriller movies.
