Astounding special effects but...

Rating: 7/10 (21 January 2002)

The Matrix is an outstanding visual entertainment. However, its plot is quite buggy (scenarists are confused between Watts and Volts, Agents may "teleport" and "track" anybody but need to bug Neo to follow him...) and not that original (Stanislas Lem's Futurology Congress, Total Recall, Ghosts in the Shell...) so, well, The Matrix can't be enjoyed more than twice because after that, it will lose its appeal... What a pity...
