Fast Paced Action Thriller, but no science

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2002)

Matrix presents interesting concepts about time and space and certainly has plenty of action. However, while it is billed as science fiction, there is little to no science. The movie's greatness all lies in its action.
In a science fiction movie I always hope for some science being part and parcel to the plot. There are few such movies out there that do this. The Philadelphia Experiment (1984), Andromeda Strain, & The Thirteenth Floor do this. But they are few and far between. Some science fiction novels that do this are Dune, Battlefield Earth (the best in this regard), Resurrection.
But those looking for action and thrills will not be disappointed in Matrix. Just don't look for any science fiction. There isn't any that will impress or interest you.
