Rating: 7/10 (1 April 1999)

An awe inspiring film with some of the most unusual imagery I've seen since Dark City. The plot is far more comprehensible than I thought it would be from the looks of the previews.
The film revolves around the character known as Neo (Keanu Reeves). A computer programmer / hacker who suspects that something is wrong with the world, and that something has to do with The Matrix. Unfortunately, he has no idea what the matrix is.
I really don't want to give away any of the plot beyond this, because the mystery of it is part of the fun. This movie is well thought out, well acted, well directed, and just plain great. It also has quite a bit of humor in it. Mostly in the form of poking fun at cliches.
