The Matrix : My Best Movie Of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2013)

As of writing this review, I have seen this like a 1000 times between the ages of 12 to 26. I have seen another 1000 movies in the same time frame but The Matrix has a charm and attraction attached to it like none other. Its sleek, stylish and so much substance. This is one movie that makes a compelling case against people who argue that only books have depths, because this movie describes its story, characters and events in a manner that mere words cannot capture.
This is my first review on IMDb.com and I am a sort of computer geek and I am being biased and this is my ultimate movie. But when I say I, I am confident that I describe the sentiments of a generation that has grown up under the influence of this movie.
That should say it all, but among the many fine qualities of this masterpiece, two stand out for me. One, The Matrix is no doubt the finest computer based science fiction there is, the concept is clearly one of the most imaginative and vivid and detailed piece of genius, and it presents a parallel reality, the possibility of which cannot be completely denied, and its theories on machine and AI development still make sense after 14 years of its release. Secondly, this movie is slick and fast paced, layered with actions sequences that set a precedent both in terms of the creativity and technology with which they were shot, but their emotional, spiritual and existence in the story itself.
If you are reading this review after watching the movie (as I often do) then all I have to say is watch it again, there is more there then what you have already seen.Enjoy!!
