Even if you think you might hate it....(a bit of spoiler)

Okay, I'm not going to say too much on this movie because most people already said what I'm about to say. The Matrix is one truly AMAZING movie!! It's really clever because it CAN be possible (although, it is only a movie...) I mean, how do you know if what you see, touch, feel or smell is real or not? Very few times have I been in love with a movie when I only saw it on video, but in this case, yes. Not to mention I nearly killed myself for not seeing it on the big screen, or at least rent it earlier....
What I didn't know is, The Matrix is a great action/sci-fi(and I thought I hated this genre) , with great casts and visual FX and so on. I guess it's the poster that really turned me off. Keanu Reeves is quite good as (cute, except when he's hairless) Neo, and Carrie-Anne Moss is equally good, providing she doesn't have as much experience and not very well-known. She was great as Trinity, and I think she really should be given more credit than just "Keanu Reeves' co-star" !
The Matrix is unique in it's way. It has violence but we don't see more than 10mls of blood. Instead, we only see a lot of bullets. Personally I think the scene where Tank loads thousands of guns is pretty cool, but the lobby scene is a bit excessive, and the kiss scene is really weird( how come Neo can be resurrected after he's dead in the REAL world?? )but overall this is pretty good...every time you see it. It just lingers in your head for ages after you've seen it. So, if you are still wondering what The Matrix is, RENT THE VIDEO! You won't regret it, even if you think you might hate it...at least you'll know what the fuss is all about. Then you'll decide for yourself if The Matrix deserves #30 in the world's best movies.
