Sadly Amazing

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2003)

I'm shocked by the number of bad reviews of this movie. The Matrix series is without a doubt some of the most intelligent and technically astounding sci/fi movies ever made. In a nutshell, if all you want is simple action sequences, sophomoric comedy or sugary romance scenes where actual thought is not required, this movie is NOT for you. However, if you want to be mentally entertained by the many possiblities of future existence (like any true sci/fi fan would) while taking in the latest innovations in visual effects at the same time - then Matrix is for you. You will be excited by the vast scope of possible reality scenarios that are suggested as well as the parallels to various religious beliefs.
For those of you who thought there was "too much talking" - sorry you didn't get it. Perhaps Dumb and Dumberer would suit you better. Try Ritalin.
