Sci-Fi classic

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2000)

This is the best Sci-Fi flic since Aliens. An absolute must on DVD, simply because the special effects are fantastic. For the action, blow-em up smash-em up lovers, it has everything you ever want. However, what makes this movie exceptional is the actual answer to the question, what is the Matrix? The Matrix is conceptually, one of the smartest ideas in Sci-Fi in years.
Keaneu Reeves has often been accused of being one dimensional. Well, if that is true, this is the dimension that all of the critics speak of. He's perfect for this movie, as are the rest of the cast. Fishbourne is brilliant and Carrie-Ann Moss very sexy. However, the most effective actor in this movie is Australian, Hugo Weaving. Weaving plays the villain , with a great blend of intelligence and indestructibility that makes you wonder how or even if he can be defeated.
This is one of those Sci-Fi action movies that gets better the next time you see it. I have seen it twice and I'm sure I'll see it again and enjoy it even more.
