An Unreal Sci-Fi Phenomenon

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2004)

"The Matrix" is regarded as a science fiction cult classic. With its amazing breakthrough special effects, it's easy to see why! Keanu Reeves stars as Neo, a hacker in our world, who discovers he's a kind of hero in a completely different world. With this, he discovers that the world as he used to know it is only an illusion, created by computers. (Mindblowing, isn't it?) Surrounding the mind-boggling story are some fresh action moves and breathtaking imagery. Compared to the sequels that followed, "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions," the original is clearly the brightest star in the trilogy. It'll definitely bring a "Whoa!" to your lips!
