ENTER THE MATRIX...Perhaps the best Sci-Fi of the year!
The Matrix takes you on a journey of futuristic probablities while still adhering old fashioned cosmetics (trench coats etc.)
This movie has excellent casting, character development, plot, action, adventure, and the element of danger all rolled up into one. Just what you need for a TIMELESS Science Fiction movie that people will be talking about 30 years from now...

What if virtual reality wasn't just for fun, but was being used to imprison you? That's the dilemma that faces mild-mannered computer programmer Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) in The Matrix. It's the year 1999, and Anderson (who goes by the hacker alias of NEO) works in a cubicle, manning a computer and doing a little hacking on the side.

It's through this latter activity that Thomas makes the acquaintance of Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), who has some interesting news for Mr. Anderson - none of what's going on around him is real. The year is actually closer to 2199, and it seems Thomas, like most people, is a victim of The Matrix, a massive artificial intelligence system that has tapped into people's minds and created the illusion of a real world, while using their brains and bodies for energy, tossing them away like spent batteries when they're through. Morpheus, however, is convinced Neo is "The One" who can crack open The Matrix and bring his people to both physical and psychological freedom.

Boring, difficult to sit through
Just an awful, boring movie. Some neat special effects, but nothing that comes near worth sitting through. If I had the choice between watching "The Matrix" again or leafing through some month-old copies of "People" magazine at my dentist's office, I'd go for the magazines.

"The Matrix" is to science fiction as carob is to chocolate. 'Nuff said.

The Matrix: the best movie of All time
Well, to start this off, I have to say that the Matrix

<marquee>WAS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME!!!</marquee>

The plot to this is the strongest I have ever seen in a movie, and the whole concept of "the matrix" is truly amazing and original: basically our conciousness, this reality, isn't real. It's artificial. We are really in some tube somewhere, being used by machines as energy sources. You see that computer screen in front of you? It's not real.

While this movie is rated R, I don't think it should be. PG-13, yes, but R?! For action violence? Really. There ARE A lot of guns and action, but not enough to really get it it's rating.

I have to say this made my personal all time best list. I would strongly suggest renting this, if not simply purchasing it.
