Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2018)

Matrix has been regarded as "A technologically stunning movie that furthers the genre and features crowd-pleasing performances to go with the frequent scenes of gunplay and violence." (Hollywood Reporter,1999) . It gained 8/10 in IMDb (IMDb, 1999) ,with a score of 87% in Rotten Tomato (Rotten Tomato, 1999). Matrix has won 3 award in the total in 72nd Academy Awards for the Best Visual Effects, Best film editing and best Sound mixing. (72nd Academy Award Winner)
The story itself is inspired from several Japanese anime and manga comics, along with several authors, Issac Asimov 'I, Robot' and Philip. K Dick 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Ships'. These stories are all about how the development of A.I leads to human extinction and how A.I dominantes humanity.
Matrix is a movie illustrating Thomas Anderson, later called Neo (Keanu Reeves), being unplugged from the simulation to the real world, after digesting the red pill given by Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) which enables him to learn everything about the real world. He is believed to be 'the one' who owns superhuman power to stop the the machines, but is later to be told he is not by The Oracle (Gloria Foster). After a few battle scenes between Morpheus's crew and the machines; Neo and Agent smith, the movie ends with Neo defeating Agent Smith with his superhuman powers after being revived with a kiss by Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss).
To determine whether it is a good film or a bad film, the answer always lies in the script. The script by the Wachowski brother is seamlessly written. Includes what should be displayed in the set or not.
The Matrix might have set the benchmark for the future sci-fi film in terms of how computer generated imagery should be used.
Due to its use of visual effects, The Matrix won the academy award over Star Wars for Visual Effect in 2000. Comparatively, Matrix has more innovative and creative visual effects, including the use of different computer generated imagery to create a very dystopian atmosphere. Bullet-time technology (Madison Horror, no date) might be the most remarkable feature in the movie, in which Anderson stops the bullet and a still camera captures multiple angles in a single shot in circular motion, creating mind-blowing perspectives for the audience viewing the scene.
The visual effects are so groundbreaking, which have set a new era for CGI technology to grow. Still today, The Matrix hold their ground against new science fiction films .
The Matrix is a masterpiece , influencing the development of sci-fi films afterwards. For example. Wanted (2008) and Inception (2010)
