Interesting question... what is reality, and are you in it?
Surely at one point in everybody's life you feel like 'Mr Anderson'. Like you aren't such a worthless pile of biological scum, one day you might wake up and find its all a computer sim.
Beautiful slow motion bullet casings and guns with realistic top-slide action, drool, guns, drool.
Machines' taking over the world is plotline that has been done before, but The Matrix takes the idea to a new and well-constructed level. The idea that the creation of man would be his downfall is nothing new, however the Symbiosis between the machines and man is interestingly portrayed.
If only Keanu Reeves could put a little more time into developing his acting ability, however it wasn't overly required for this film, as the confused or apathetic looks Keanu seems to wear quite often is Adequate.
