Action-packed, inventive & intriguing with some fantastic special effects!!!

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2001)

This is one of the most amazing movies I've seen, and definately worth a 10/10. This being my favourite movie, I can name few if any flaws in it, and I have much praise for the brilliant team of Andy & Larry Wachowski, who wrote and directed the movie.
For some, the Matrix was just a great action/sci-fi flick, but I personally see so much more in it. Although the idea of artificial intelligence has been used before, The Matrix re-invents the idea very cleverly, and the concepts explored are new and actually quite thought-provoking.
The special effects are amazing, with the bullet-time technology especially awesome (however I have to say that sending up the fight scenes in various comedic ways in other movies/TV shows is getting a little tired!).
This movie is brilliant, so go have a look - even if just for an adrenalin rush and the special effects if the ideas in The Matrix are a little too weird for you! The DVD is loaded with special features and the action looks great with digital technology so don't worry if you missed it at the cinemas.
Can't wait for the two sequels!!!
