Back in 1999 they shocked us with originality.

And originality means the Matrix.I remember seeing it back in 1999 with my dad and man we were blown away.Original concept mixed with superb acting,amazing visual effects,great fights and an intelligent villain unlike anyone before.Yeah agent Smith is awesome.By now you should know what the matrix is-a computer generated dream world built to keep humans harmless and living in denial.Neo is humanity's last hope for salvation and the leader Morpheus believes in him that he will set them free.The Washowski Bros show respect to Kubrick,Cameron and Scott and create an original and intriguing movie unlike anything before.After the disappointing sequels I appreciated this movie even more.Can't think of anyone who would have played a better Neo than Keanu Reeves.He gives all his heart and soul portraying a man insecure and without confidence in himself feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders.Laurence Fishburne is stunning also as his mentor who believes in him more than anything and is willing to sacrifice his own life to safe Neo's.Waking up from Wonderland is an emotional draining experience and the audience is sucked into the story which gets more and more interesting.The Matrix is undoubtedly one of the greatest action movies of all time.A modern classic.
