Just about the best Sci Fi flick ever made!

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2002)

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** The Matrix was for me an eye-opener one of those films I had heard a lot about but knew very little about what it actually was, plot wise etc.
I remember very clearly the feeling of awe I felt while watching it, reminded me very much of the future scenes in Terminator, in fact it now replaces the The Terminator as my favourite film of all time.
It has a very good plot, I know it is very similar to Dark City and I think that is a top notch film as well. It has good actors (wooden spoon Reeves aside) and is well shot and directed, but the single most outstanding feature is bullet time, this is the film that made the technique famous and uses it very well.
The only thing I don't like about the film is the way Neo/Anderson (Reeves) defeats the Agent at the end of the film.
Other than that this is a 10/10 film.
