Fast Paced AWESOME, Nice concept

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2004)

This movie is fast paced and awesome. Of course there were tons of new special effects but unlike some movies where it seemed the writers were told write the movie around the special effects the Matrix is different. The MATRIX uses the special effects magic to tell a story. Never not once does this this movie let you catch your breath. There are no long ponderous dialogues or dry spots in this movie that allow you to think about mundane things of your life like did you feed the cat, will you mow the lawn this afternoon or tomorrow as you watch this movie.
No this movie rips you out of your seat by your throat and once it grabs you it simply does NOT let you go and thats its charm and claim to fame. The movie is fast paced, action with a strong plot supporting it, the cuts be they of action or dialogue are fast paced information cramed bits you must almost work to collect in keeping up with the movie. You don't just sit down turn off your brain and let the Matrix happen to you. The Matrix like few other movies I have seen in recent times fully engages your senses in a most visceral and primal manner. I liked the Matrix it was refreshing to see a concept so well executed in movie form. The DVD version is nice too lots of cool stuff and the picture quality was first rate.
