But for Episode 1 this would be the film of 1999

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 1999)

Excellent Sci-fi for the thinking man (or woman). A good story with decent characterisation, Keanu Reeves best role for some time. Good supporting cast in particular the Men in Black lookalikes.
Very atmospheric with good use of dark and light, reminded me of the pilot of Max Headroom.
The effects need to be seen to be believed, but they do not steal the show like so many other films. The story can be a bit difficult to follow but perseverance is rewarded in the end.
At 130+ mins it is a long film, be sure to visit a comfortable venue, but a good pace on the action and story telling holds the viewer from start to finish.
10 out of 10 for an original slant on the "computers take over the world" theme.
Will there be a sequel.......... I hope so.
