This generations defining action film!

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2007)

This film was so different from everything else I had ever seen when it first came out. I remember the trailer showing such different visuals then what I was use to at the time, like, why and how is that girl in a black leather suit jumping from building to building. This was 1999 by the way before the comic book superhero adaption film frenzy. So at first I was just curious about it. I remember leaving some other film and on my way out of the theatre noticing it was playing down the hall. I just wanted to have a look at it to see what it was like. I opened the theatre door and slowly sat in with the crowd already viewing the film. You could tell the film was near its conclusion and I was in awe, when I seen the slow motion camera work and advanced special effects. Once I seen the movie from start to finish, it was officially my favorite film. I think this is the action film that defines my generation. The film was bold and daring, and pulled off more than it's creators probably meant to. It completely redefined action films from then on. I can't count how many films and video games, bullet-time has been featured in after this film was released. The Matrix is truly one of kind. What more can you ask for, The Matrix has an interesting plot, the best intense action sequences and a cool soundtrack. It is a classic of our generation.
