Now where is the reality?!

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2017)

Now that's my first movie review in a long time, and it happens to be Matrix. I'm writing this review 18 years after the film was released, but that's because I'm almost as old as the movie.
Well, the time sure does pass by, but the axioms of this life never change. And one of those axioms is that Matrix is and always will be one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. That's my statement and I know that I'll have 100% support. There is everything gorgeous about the movie: the scenario, the music, the actors, the whole dark future atmosphere, the combat choreography, absolutely everything is mind blowing. It is such a revolutionary film that I just can not remember any other science fiction movie or a movie of any other genre that could at least stand on the same level (guys I'm Lord of the Rings fan too, so I did not mean to offend anyone).
Now I'll be just a bit more specific. The plot is set in the world where machines have enslaved mankind and tried to use them as an energy source. Well, who would of thought that creating an AI could turn in such a horrible tragedy. In order to keep human beings under control, the machines have created the virtual reality called "Matrix", where the world is still not destroyed by the war between our two species.
Enough with the spoilers (though I know that there is no such human who did not see or at least hear everything concerning the plot of Matrix in 2k17), lets head to the rest of the components of the movie.
The music. It is really stunning. Don Davis made a huge work. The soundtrack is catchy and does drag you into the reality of Matrix where you feel for our main heroes (especially when they're fighting with agents), hope they will be fine and will carry out their mission to the end. Also great tracks by Deftones band ("My Own Summer" is my favorite) that suite just great for combat situations.
The characters are diversified and complement each other to make the picture look even more realistic and splendid. Laurence Fishburne (Morpheus) always surprised us with his wisdom and tenacity, Keanu Reeves (Neo) played his role of a chosen one with great dedication and coldblooded exposure, Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith was very logical and really made me believe that he was not a human being, but a machine with one purpose only – seek and destroy all human resistance.
Got to give it for stunts. They are just awesome, not to mention that Keanu Reeves made it all by himself.
The basic idea along with the atmosphere are one of a kind. I must repeat myself – the is nothing like this picture and there never will be. It is an absolute masterpiece. Because such a concept of a whole new reality, such a vision of possible future problems that mankind can (mostly will) face, and such a creativity in tying all these strings together (to make it feel that this is the verity and the whole bitter truth about our reality) is a work of a genius. Breathtaking job by Wachowski Brothers (now sisters) and a bow from me.
And today, as I look at modern movies I think I might cry next time re watching Matrix, because a God's work can be only seen once in a lifetime and that my dear friends, was it!
