a surprisingly good sci-fi movie

Rating: 9/10 (23 September 2001)

a surprisingly tight sci-fi movie, the matrix transcends all ages and has a little of everything for everyone. but what definitely stands out are the brilliant special effects, visual and aural.
nothing to write home on the acting front, any pretty face would have fit the bill, but the unbelievable effects keeps one bound to the screen right through. the smart touches, like the "deja-vu" effect add to the enjoyment.
the best thing about the movie however is the solid story-line, not unlike an exaggerated 1984 (the george orwell book). its a surprisingly strong story for a special effects laden action movie.
check out the memorable quotes section for the movie to read some brilliant dialogs. the score is ROCK-solid as well, adding to the thrill of a slick movie.
an entertaining 8
