Stupidity reigns in this movie, not computers.

Rating: Null/10 (9 October 1999)

If you're looking forward to seeing this movie and have not seen it yet, rest assured that you're looking forward to seeing a direct to video corny B-sci-fi film with lousy actors and weak script. Some personalities may have received top billing in this, but they still delivered lousy performances.
The film is a mixture of a lot movies. (Dark City, 12 Monkeys, The Terminator, Strange Days, Johnny Mnemonic, The Lawnmower Man...just to name a few) but the cliches is not what sinks this so. It's the screenplay, which makes all the actors so constipated and robotic that it's unintentionally laughable. So much hype surrounding the movie is a shocker. I know, it's the reason why everyone loved the "The English Patient" and "Titanic": The imagery. There was obviously a lot of work put into the storyboard, but good visuals does not make a good movie. A lot of pretentious art house fanatics think so, and if you speak up about it (like what I'm doing) they insult you and say you just "didn't understand it." Sorry, I'm afraid it's the other way AROUND.
What was supposed to count as special effects? Slow motion bullets flying in the air? People freezing when they're about to do a karate kick? If that makes a movie great (despite a jello written script and cardboard performances) then the IMDb Top 250 List has new standards and the I.Q. of the Hollywood movie-going public has made a gigantic plurge like the 1929 Stock Market crash.
Trite, horrid, egregious, Mumbojumbo, anemic, trivial, rubbish, ignorant, xd. Whether you saw the movie or not, that answers the question: "What is the Matrix?"
