A visual Rubic's cube

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2014)

I've seen this film ( along with the other 2 ) at least 4 times. There aren't many films where the final conclusion remains unclear, but in the case of this story, it works well. the underlying theme is how we are fooled by the system,somehow controlled.This first instalment sets the pace and clues for the viewer to THINK about the film. As the trilogy unfolds, it is suggested that Neo's actions and predicaments have been played out over and over again. Zion's citizens may not have achieved freedom this time round - or have they? This film quickly establishes the characters,and the actors deliver a great performance that is a challenge for such a cerebral film. Of course it can be watched for sheer entertainment if one does not want to decipher the subplots and symbolism ( some have interpreted a Christian theme/message to it ), there is a whole load of impressive visual effects and feisty, fast paced action to enjoy.
