The Perfect Matrix

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2017)

1999 got some of my absolute favorite movies done: Fight Club and Matrix, American Beauty, Sleepy Hollow, Blair Witch, Girls Interrupted, Cruel Intentions and Sixth Sense. 1999, really a superb year for the cineaste.
The first movie of the Matrix trilogy got not only a most imaginative story but also a style and cinematography that was at that time (and imo still is) most innovative. And of course unforgotten are Keanu Reeves as Neo, Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity and Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus, and last but not least, Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith.
Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski achieved nothing more than one of the modern classics with this movie. The following two movies of the Matrix universe are not that good, and I understand that some people argue that Matrix does not need additional parts or an expansion of the story told, but I like Reloaded and Revolutions anyway.
Fight Club, Matrix, and Inception - for me some of the best fantasy/sci-fi movies ever made, like the first Alien movie and Blade Runner - modern movie-making at its best.
