Awesome movie

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2006)

I remember after seeing The Matrix for the first time that I was blown away by the combination of an excellent script, amazing special effects and innovative cinematography. Rarely does a movie produce the wow factor so forcefully. The 2nd and 3rd while technically advanced, could not much the intrigue of the 1st's plot. I recently visited The Matrix exhibit at Movie World (Gold Coast, Australia) and it was awesome to see parts of the set (mostly from Revolutions). I've seen The Matrix more than a dozen times and I still love it. I only wish more movies were as interesting and mentally challenging as the first Matrix. No doubt they are out there, however the studios prefer to serve up popcorn-trash that doesn't require the average Joe to think.
