A very, very good film

Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2006)

The Matrix is a fantastic film. It is visually stunning and offers a story that i think if executed differently would be unbelievable; however, i had no trouble accepting this gem of a plot. The special effects of this film were second-to-none and almost every scene boasts something original, unique and breath-taking. I was brimming with awe whilst consistently being subjected to stunts which electrify, sharp and stylish choreography, and camera work which shows the mark of genius. Keanu Reeves trademark seriousness and focus was perfect for the role whilst the acting of Carrie-Anne Moss and Lawrence Fishburne was cool, sophisticated, and complimented the subtleness of the film immensely. Joe Pantoliano's contribution to the cast list was also clever and appropriate. The film is a work of art and I believe marks a watershed in cinematic history for many reasons, most importantly- computer graphics and administering original ideas. Bravo.
