One of my favorites! (SPOILERS)

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2004)

'The Matrix' may have one of the most interesting plot ideas ever, the idea that the world might not be real. I watch this movie over and over again, and each time I see it I'm reminded that the movie contains no part that is not boring; what's even better is that the movie also has no scene, no sentence, not anything that isn't a necessary or important part of the story, there aren't even any fight scenes/action sequences that don't make sense. And the story, though improbable, makes sense; the writers actually found a sensible way for people to defy gravity, move extremely fast, learn martial arts in a matter of hours, and move in and out of two different worlds. The writers' effective mixing of different genres and music styles, sound, imagery, and story creates a wholly satisfying ending.
