I don't know

Rating: Null/10 (21 June 1999)

I hate to admit it, but I actually enjoyed this movie. I'll get to that later, but first I'll say this: It's NOT a good movie. I've heard comparisons to great works of art such as Blade Runner and 2001, but this is not a philosophical movie. It doesn't even get to where Dark City got (which wasn't such a great movie either). There are some bits where you can detect a philosophical question, but it's way too forced and unbelievable, especially from these characters. There are a lot of plot holes and ridiculous situations, and many characters are very lame (Morpheus?! give me a break!). The one nice actor and character was that of Agent Smith, the major villain. But, like I said, I enjoyed the movie. Now, I consider myself a man with quality taste, in movies as well. Let's just say, this is not my type of movie. Why I enjoyed it? I really don't have a clue. I despise action movies, which base themselves on special effects and ridiculous plots. But this movie I liked. And it's not that my taste has changed, because give me any other action movie and I'll hate it. I really liked the action sequences and special effects. The movie itself was directed quite well, actually. I was excited by superficial and popular elements, and I'm still torturing myself for that. But who knows? There might be something else in this film. There must be, because I don't enjoy others that I THINK are like it. But maybe you should give it a chance and see it for yourself. If you find that special something, I'd like to hear it.
