Dark, mysterious, and wonderfully action-packed.

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 1999)

The Matrix is visually stunning. The special effects just blew me away. This movie really made me think about similar movies, such as Dark City, The Crow, even Batman. I love this style of movie, and wish more would be made like it. Although I'm not a big Keanu Reeves fan, he sort of pulls it off in this movie. The story, although slightly confusing at first, really came together, even though the ending came a little too quick and left me sitting there waiting for a more complete finish. I would love to see a sequel because I am interested in how this story would turn out...and they could do just about anything because it is, of course, set in the future. All in all, a great movie.
