Unmissable. You must see this film.

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2008)

The Matrix is one of those films that has past the test of time. When it came out, it blew audiences away with its originality, CGI and its classic action sequences. This is one of those few action films that stand up with Die Hard as being the most memorable.
The acting is usually around a good average in action films but not here. Keanu Reeves is perfectly cast as Thomas Anderson who is sort of a nobody until he meets Trinity. His acting style completely suits his character who is completely lost at first in the world of the Matrix. Lawrence Fishbourne and Carrie Anne Moss both do good jobs as well but Hugo Weaving provides the best performance as Agent Smith who is a character you won't forget.
The action scenes are stunning and they owe a lot to CGI but that doesn't ruin the film as it is only ever used when there is no choice.
This is a great film that deserved it four Oscars and it shall always be remembered for revamping the action genre. I just hope Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski can make another film that is as memorable as this.
