An exciting sign of what young filmmakers will be able to achieve with CGI special effects.

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 1999)

I enjoyed "The Matrix" because the tremendous special effects fit into the story well and served to enhance the film, not define it. Too often I find CGI distracting, but in a movie that writhes with as much as intensity as this one- it simply brought me to edge of my seat. I give total credit to the young brothers that created this film for imagining the story, and having the wisdom to know that story is, and always should be the most important thing. Towards the end of the film, I wasn't waiting to see bigger guns or cooler kicks, I wanted to know how the story was going to turn out.
