A strong contender for the best Science fiction movie ever made...

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2000)

The Matrix is not just merely a movie but more of an awe-inspiring audio-visual experience that has to be seen to be believed. It focuses on the character of Thomas Anderson (played by Keanu Reeves, in his best role since Speed) who begins to question the nature of the world around him, thus leading him to a mysterious figure named Morpheus, who holds the answer to the question: "What is the Matrix?". Boasting mind-boggling special effects, some of the most adrenaline-pumping action sequences ever committed to film and an ingenious storyline, The Matrix is arguably one of the best Science Fiction movies ever made. It stands up to multiple viewings, and has to be seen at least a second time to be fully appreciated. Strong support from an excellent cast- most notably Laurence Fishbourne as Morpheus further add to the quality of this modern classic. Millions of fans around the world now await the coming Matrix sequels with great anticipation...
