Probably the best sci-fi action film to date.

Rating: 10/10 (15 September 1999)

The Wachowski brothers are probably some of the best film writer / directors out there today. Like most folks, The Matrix's visuals blew me away. YOU MUST SEE THIS FILM ON THE BIG SCREEN. But what was even more impressive was the super-tight story, effective use of mythology, empathetic main character, compelling obstacle character and horrific antagonist. Before I saw this film I thought THE ROCK with Nick Cage and Sean Connery was the best action film with real substance behind it. The Matrix definitely deserves a top spot on the Top 250 list. See this film! I don't know anyone who hasn't been impressed with it. If these brothers can keep writing like this they are destined for long-term film maker fame. If you end up liking this film, see BOUND, also by the brothers Wachowski, with Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly.
