Big Film, Big Words

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2003)

An intricate and perplexing plot causes the mind to question the existence of machine life-forms. This, combined with the use of phenomenal special effects, makes The Matrix one of the most revolutionizing films in the history of movie-making. The Wachowski brothers make a fantastical big-budget motion-picture debut, making film critics jump out of their uncomfortable office chairs just to find acrimonious comments to match the stature of this movie. I myself found The Matrix to be one of the most spectacular creations of all time. No doubt the two remaining sequels will live up to the audiences high expectations. I'd like to see the film-critics find fault with all three. A well-rounded cast provides both comedy (at the strangest of times I might add) and drama which keeps the viewers on the edge of their popcorn-riddled seats. And lets face it, with names such as Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving on the credits, who would want to miss this somewhat original concoction?!
