The best science-fiction film in years

Rating: Null/10 (15 May 1999)

Finally, someone had the nerve to do a sci-fi film which actually had a great storyline. The storyline of The Matrix is certainly one of the most original in a long time for any genre, and the actors do a great job. Especially Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving are excellent, but also Keanu Reeves, who has had a tendency to look ridicolous in any serious movie, has a great performance. The Wachowski brothers have created a film that, even though the visual effects are mind-boggling, first of all is concerned about its storyline. And what a brilliant story it is!
