More Than What Meets The Eye

Rating: Null/10 (5 January 2000)

I am not normally a fan of Keanu Reeves and his films but I found the Matrix to be very good. The plot is deeper than I expected. This moves subtly addresses the issue that what we consider to be reality is not the actual reality but simply our own personal construct, which is the basis of some important eastern philosophies. I believe the incorporation of kung fu into the movie was a "tip of the hat" to eastern philosophy and not just added for action. At any rate, this is a good movie for those interested in martial arts, sci-fi, special effects, and eastern religion.
