Good stuff.

Rating: 10/10 (11 April 1999)

Besides The Matrix, I haven't seen a movie that does a good job of "waking you up". The Matrix offers an answer in the form of an analogy to the question: Is there more to this life than the eye can see? Besides being dazzled by special fx and thrilled by funky-tune slow-motion action, I was challenged by being asked where I stood on this planet. Am I looking for the truth and fighting to inform others about it, or am I indulging myself and pretending that there may be nothing more than what I've been told. This movie explores many things: Belief, fate, faith, hope, fear, power, etc. It's all good stuff. All these things were sort of brought together and, at least for me were, one by one, made sense of.
