Dangerously close to being the coolest movie I've ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 1999)

I'm not a science fiction fan. I like Star Wars and all that, but going into "The Matrix" I didn't have extremely high expectations. Coming out of that movie, I felt like I had just seen a movie that will be the standard for sci-fi action for years to come. I won't go on about the storyline, it's too complex for me to even begin. But the fun comes in the imagination of the story, and the action scenes (which rival that of John Woo). If you like action movies, science fiction or just entertaining movies in general, you really need to see "The Matrix". I've never heard an audience clap so loudly before.
