Must See !! (preferably more than once)

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 1999)

I was lucky enough to attend a press screening for The Matrix on March 20th at Warner Bros. This movie is awesome!! Cyper-Sci-Fi at the cutting edge. It has action (incredible stuff), humor, suspense, great camera work and editting, and substance. It's an excellent, and thought-provoking script, and the cast is super. The buzz is that they all had to train for 4 months for the martial arts/wire work, before the filming even began, and it really shows. Much of what appears to be special FX is not - they really did what you just saw (or thought you saw). This one is a must see - preferably more than once since there's so much packed into the film that it's hard to absorb it all the first time. But that's sort of what The Matrix is all about. Suspend judgment until you've actually been there - as Morpheus says, "unfortunately no one can tell you what The Matrix is - you have to experience it for yourself."
