SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
cricketbat A mind-blowing story with special effects that have been copied ever since. This is truly one of the great films of our time.
Tatiana Dufrey Such an amazing concept! The idea that ones mind can be so easily mislead is scary. Not too unlike Keanu Reeves acting. But a great film non the less.
jorgepedro-18183 The Matrix has become a staple of pop culture with endless spoofs and outright rip offs but on its own this is a great science fiction film filled with amazing action sequences, great production design and some of the earliest use of CGI. Keanu Reeves is Neo- our archetypical hero who is sucked into a world from which he will never go back to normalcy. The Wachowski's really hit the ballpark with The Matrix and it stunned the world upon release. Laurence Fishburne, Carrie Ann Moss and others look cool in black spandex and even cooler with their fight moves but beneath all this are many underlying themes which have been studied intensely. The Matrix needs to be watched by anyone who likes good films.
rodrig58 I think now, seeing it for the second time, after almost 20 years, that as well without the special effects, the film would have value, only because of the impeccable acting performances of the five protagonists: Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving and Joe Pantoliano. One of the best science-fiction movies ever, filming that still take your breath away after so many years, pure action. Adrenaline, fantasy, myth, precision.
