Top-Notch Laptop Fantasy
My arm was twisted by well-meaning family and friends to open my mind and take in the wonderment of The Matrix. The second, third, and (I admit it)-- the fourth times--I twisted my own with Neoian flexibility.
Reeves, a computer hacker named Neo, taps into, or is tapped into by, a mysterious cyberpersonality named Morpheus (Fishburne). They meet in an abandoned hotel, where Reeves swallows a gelatinous pill that looks like a Nyquil.
With that, The Matrix takes a wild plunge down a very deep rabbit hole. Morpheus, it turns out, is a sort of digitally programmed buccaneer in an alternate universe, but it's actually reality, see, because the world humans wake up to each morning -- blue sky, breakfast cereal, Teletubbies -- is merely a scrim of dreams whipped up by a master race of robots who keep us asleep in plastic pods, then harvest us for food.
The Matrix is tough to explain, but then how much explaining does an amusement park ride require? And why would one want to explain it, just enjoy the ride. The movie zips along, fueled by elaborate computer-generated effects, including a martial-arts fight that has the gravity-defying speed of a Road Runner cartoon. Reeves, is exactly right as the hero, moving through hyperspace with zonked-out calm.
A fabulous fantasy which leads to in-depth, what if? discussions.
Sci-fi + Different Relogion Teachings = Matrix........
-
When First Time I saw this movie I thought this is height of Imagination.But I liked it Later & its one of My favourite now.
I must say it was Keanus best.He fits in Neo's character So perfect.Carrie-Anne Moss & Laurence Fishburne too played their Character well.
Special Effects are so good that,You can see these kind of stunts copied in movies all over the world.
Though it confuses somewhere,Teachings from the different religions are used very well for that I am giving it 4 Stars.
Its was a great experience to watch this movie.
The Epitome of Cool
This movie has a great cast, great cosutmes, cutting edge action, original storyline and it's just plain cool. The leather duds, flying kicks and black glasses have brought back the popularity of the trench coat, brought back appreciation for kung fu movies and sent the sunglass revolution on a spinning craze.
The script is quite clever that to this day I still find it mind-boggling. It has definitely sparked after-movie discussions because I've had to ask my more intellectual friends to explain it to me. I am glad that it decided to throw in action sequences which suited the less brainy audiences. All around a novel concenpt and should have just stopped right here.
The following sequels seemed somewhat of a disappointment. As you were expecting each sequel to become more novel and orginal, it had to come to deal with teh reality of the Matrix in the fight of humans aginst the machines. It was better to have left you wondering and thinking "what-if".
My favorite characters, by far, are the agents. In their secret-service like manner to be anti-cool, they were very cool and just as lethal as the rebels. "Find them and Destroy Them" is one of my favorite lines followe dby an agent slowly bringing his hand to his ear piece.
A neat film. Conceptually confusing at times, but the action more than makes up for it.
