Sublime choreography of scifi, kungfu, and the triumph of the human spirit

Rating: Null/10 (12 April 1999)

The Matrix was a supremely well executed movie with a sound story line...the main problem with the movie, IMHO, was that even with a 2 hr 30 min running time, there are obvious places where character and plot development were neglected. A few of the characters lacked enough depth, that it would probably have been better to have left them out of the story completely. Blade Runner, by contrast, had a far better balance of very memorable characters. The same potential existed for some of the characters in the Matrix, but only the characters of Lawrence Fishburn, Keanu Reeves, and one of the agents really shone through in the movie. Nonetheless, this one is a keeper...
