Engaging and visually amazing

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 2010)

The Matrix is a film that is style over substance, but that doesn't necessarily make it a dumb or bad film. No, it is never trying to be anything more. It does have a unique world and unique style an in that sense The Matrix works.
The characters are strong, characters that you can root for. However, the real star here is the direction and visual effects. The effects in particular are amazing, spell-binding, and revolutionary, even more than ten years since it first premiered. The action scenes are intriguing and tense, and overall the film is never something other than engaging. In that respect is where the film works the best, and is sure not to disappoint. That is pretty much where the excitement lies, and in the world the film creates.
