Good idea and special effects

Rating: 6/10 (22 January 2006)

'The Matrix' is a film about the concept of reality and identity. The lead character is transformed into an alternate world through the help of Morpheus, and he learns to battle the machines. This is a very deep film, and it is one that will make you think about life and reality. It's also a film that can be watched multiple times. One of the best areas of this film is the use of special effects in the battle scenes where the cameras rotate fully around the action. This is the highlight of the film, and without that, it would be almost like any other science-fiction/action movie. In my opinion, the story and characters are a little bit weak, but the concept and the special effects make this movie well-worth a watch.
