Science Fiction Masterpiece.
Directed by the Wachowski brothers, The Matrix is a superb film that transcends science fiction boundaries and portrays a storyline that is both intricately complex and massively entertaining. It is the story of a compute hacker named Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) who goes by the alias Neo, and is presented with a choice that will change everything. When the mysterious character of Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) reveals to Neo that the world he knows is a lie, a computer generated to reality to keep people unaware of that they are acting as a life source for murderous machines, Neo must decide whether he will join Morpheus in the fight against the machines, or go back to his mundane, fictional reality.
This film takes a chilling sci-fi storyline and adds so many dimensions to it, viewers will inevitably struggle to keep up. Very few understand the whole story in one watch, and most require at least three, but almost everyone will agree The Matrix deserves multiple viewings. The action scenes are impressive, and the cinematography is dark and gripping. Reeves is in his element as the quiet, brooding lead, while Fishburne has some of the most delectable lines given in any movie.
As an excellent piece of cinema, proving that blockbusters can be worth their salt, watch this film...at least twice!
