OH my god! Words cannot define how great this movie is! This was the greatest movie of the Millennium in my opinion--or at least the greatest action movie. It took me four years until after this movie came out to actually sit down and watch it. OK, some people who watch this probably sit down through the first half hour and get bored, you're supposed to watch the whole movie. Once you get to the kung fu fighting later on, this movie will not let you go. This movie is the most spoofed, most ripped off (though this movie takes lots of stuff itself), and in fact is the most inspirational film ever.
Let's start off with the plot. In the future mankind celebrates over their on creations, which are machines and AI. Machines become slaves and revolt, a war starts, and the machines win of course. You really didn't think humans would win did you? So in return every surviving human on the planet is placed inside of a huge computer system called The Matrix which is an artificial dream world. Some time after wards, a man actually gets free and starts freeing people. Our movie starts with Trinity (Carrie Ann Moss) struggling to escape the grasp of agents which are sentient programs meant to keep people like us in line.
So after she escapes, it turns into a battle for Trinity and the wise black dude of this movie Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) to find Neo (Keanu Reeves) and free him from the Matrix before the agents get him. From here, I'll let you watch. This movie is one that you have to watch twice to get everything. Plot rocks.
Action scenes. Oh, if you say they are lame you should be neutered so your perfectionist genes can't contaminate the population. All of the fight scenes are well delivered by Yuen Wo Ping in this film. The addition of guns in this movie worked well too. All I can say is they rocked.
Acting. OK, acting is good. Sometimes it's a little cheesy, but every scifi movie needs it. Keanu Reeves has more energy in this movie rather than his monotone non inspired voice in the sequels.
This movie was well delivered in terms of mixing plot with action. It had the cool scifi plot, so when we got to see the action it felt like a big reward. This movie is a must see for action fans or scifi fans--or even movie fans in general. If you haven't seen it you better read the next few lines and go see it. SEE IT NOW! 10/10
