When I first saw this movie when I was twelve I didn't think much of it, I thought it had a confusing story and a mindless plot that was supported and only succeeded by out of this world slow motion stunts. Boy was I naive or what!? Now When I first saw this movie when I was twelve I didn't think much of it, I thought it had a confusing story and a mindless plot that was supported and only succeeded by out of this world slow motion stunts. Boy was I naive or what!? Now seeing it again after all these years I could see that I was not ready back then to handle a movie of this complexity and strange coherent means of story telling. But now I fully respect and love this movie for what it is and for what it always will be, mindbogglingly, mind blowing, out of this world fun. When the Matrix was released in 1999 this was the film to go see people were busting out of the theater's and telling anyone they can to go see this movie. It was the "It" movie of the year and it gained the title justly. This film mapped out new territory in action and ushered in a whole new generation of action & Sci-Fi thrillers and video games as well(Max Payne comes to mind) it is one of the biggest and most beloved film of the 90's and has one of the biggest fan base out there. This movie unique and I mean unique story and style has such and impact on you when you first see it you'll want to see it the minute it's over and some more after that and after that and you'll want to see it a million times it's just that good. The Matrix put's a Gothic and dark spin on the dystopia and apocalyptic themes that have become very common in Sci-Fi films, this film does it one better it takes those overly used themes and creates a completely original and unique world around which everything we Believe is a lie. It has a great monolithic tone to it that makes it a masterpiece by any standards and it creates a great aftershock in which few films can actually do these days. It purposes that machines while enslave humanity and use us as a battery source to power there vasts armies of machines around the world. But that's what makes it so great to watch it gives you a sense of hope and a sense of justice that you just feel all the way to your bones. This movie has given the fellow movie goer what they've always wanted and always searched for in a film, great action, a smart story and plot, acting you can live with and put them all together and what do you got? The Matrix! This movie will stick with long after it's over and even after tour old you'll still remember one movie that rocked your world like none other. All in all this film delivers great any day entertainment that is like Laurence Fishburn said, " Unfortunately no one can be told what the Matrix is you have to see it for yourself." And trust me once you do you won't ever look at Sci-Fi or other movies the same way again. This movie delivers.… Expand

The Matrix is without a doubt one of the best movies ever made. Period. I will explain though. Most people have an issue with the movie for one of two reasons: the special effects and the plot. First, I'm not a huge martial arts guy, so The Matrix is without a doubt one of the best movies ever made. Period. I will explain though. Most people have an issue with the movie for one of two reasons: the special effects and the plot. First, I'm not a huge martial arts guy, so I'm definitely nowhere close to being an expert on this, but the action scenes were pretty awesome. The combination of slick and fast hand-to-hand with a load of guns thrown in...awesome. The music to the fights completed the experience. The second issue most people have with the Matrix is something I am quite familiar with: the plot. The plot of the Matrix is fantastic. That is because of two things: One, it is a fresh idea. The Matrix's plot is not a clone of anything. And two, the plot is incredibly deep, having multiple levels for every part in it. The agents, Neo being freed, the idea of the Matrix itself, all great. If you don't like sci-fi, then that's fine. You probably won't like this movie. You definitely won't like the sequels. But don't knock them for being "stupid" or "moronic." Because they simply aren't. And on a last note, the acting is exactly suited to this movie. The people in this movie act exactly how their characters should. Keanu Reeves was cast BECAUSE he acts the way he does on camera. It was perfect for the part. Hugo Weaving is SUPPOSED to be dry and humorless. Keep in mind the context of the characters when you judge acting. If you have any complaints, I'll be willing to defend the greatness of this movie. A 10 out of 10.… Expand

I don't think they fully understand the concept of a simulated reality. There are many actual scientific hypothesis regarding the subject, many of which seem extremely logical and involve Quantum Computers trying to calculate every possible combination and outcome of everything. Another considers the progression of technology and computer systems, and how they are already running complex simulations to help us decide the best course of action in many situations and where resources should be allocated. The matrix falls under the category of "Brain-computer interface" or "direct neural interface" and correlates directly with Neuroprosthetics which is an actual area of neuroscience. This is the first film to consider technologies impact on primitive culture, and the behavior which could result from direct technological integration into semi-intelligent organic life.… Expand

Maybe it only has 415 VFX shots (a romantic comedy these days has more vfx shots) but they are all used where they count the most and they still hold up very well for an almost 14 year old film. The Blu-ray transfer is absolutely exellent and as good as a 35mm on BD can ever look. There's not a scratch to be seen, not the slightest woble and just the right amount of grain (no NR). Some have complained about the colors but for me they look as they should be (the Matrix world a bit more greenish than the real world) and the detail in the black levels (of which there are allot) is perfect (on the first DVD release they were a bit mushy). The Dolby 5.1 sound of the DVD was already superb but here you get it in an uncompressed TrueHD track.… Expand

This is review for the first movie because the other ones are in a different category (Matrix Reload, Matrix Revolutions). The movie starts off with the audience saying, "what the hell is going on." You don't have to wait until the end of movie to understand it. About forty minutes into the movie you should understand it. There is some guy Neo that is living in a dreamworld which is basically a huge computer program (that would be a butt load of html). He eventually gets out of the dreamworld and is free. If you want to know the rest you should see it. Neo is played by Keanu Reeves (Speed), Agent Smith is the elf dude from Lord of the Rings, and Morphis can be found in Pee Wee's Playhouse (not kidding). I believe that this movie helped change plot lines for movies. This movie makes the audience confused for awhile yet the movie still kicks ass. It seemed like many movies were sticking with simple plot lines with bombs and terrorists, etc. Now we have movies that are confusing like Shutter Island and Inception. The special effects in the movie are really good. You cant tell what was computer created which is something that is not always present in today's movies. If you have not seen this movie then you should buy and see it, because it is a movie that can be seen over and over again (the second and third Matrix movies are disappointing; so I would advice you not to necessarily buy those.… Expand

The Matrix Image
The Matrix takes mystery school concepts and philosophies of Gnosticism, Eastern religions, Western Religions and even ideas from the Natural Law movement and blends them together to create a cryptic, symbolic action film. Everything in this movie has occult meaning, but it's up to us, the viewers to figure out what that meaning is. This movie is like a puzzle. But this is all done in a very cool, entertaining way with awesome special effects (cutting edge at the time it was released) and great memorable action scenes, some which have greatly influenced the special effects of Hollywood movies produced afterwards. My only complaint about this movie is the way the love of Neo by Trinity is revealed, I mean you have no idea and I remember in the theater myself and everyone around me groaning since the whole love story in action films thing has been done to death and this seemed so cliche. The love between Trinity and Neo is very important to the trinity in the long run but imo it could have been introduced in a much better manner, maybe some flirting scenes leading up to it because you just don't see it coming at all which makes it really unrealistic. But other than that a great, epic movie.

The Matrix (and the entire Matrix Trilogy) is like an onion, it has many layers of meaning, and every-time I watch it I notice something new. Definitely a masterpiece with profound hidden meaning and my favourite movie off all time to this day. 10/10… Expand

Matrix der Film aus dem letzten Jahrtausend. Ja, so alt ist dieser Film schon. Wenn man Matrix in ein Film-Genre einordnen wollte, so wären wohl Action und Science Fiction die Hauptkategorien. Das allein wird dem Werk jedoch nicht gerecht. Neben minutenlangen Baller-Szenen entpuppt sich eine Wahnsinnsstory, die ins Philosophische geht.

Aber erst einmal zu den Anfängen.
Der Protagonist, Thomas Anderson (gespielt von Keanu Reeves), ist ein Computer-Hacker und führt ein isoliertes Leben. Doch dann wird ihm eine geheimnisvolle Botschaft von Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) auf seinem Computer gesendet. Noch unklar, was ihn erwarten wird, beschließt er, dieser Nachricht auf den Grund zu gehen. In einem Nachtclub trifft er dann eine junge Frau namens Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), die ihn zu einem Treffen mit Morpheus überreden will. Durch eine Wendung der Ereignisse wird er zur Zielscheibe eines Agententeams. Die einzigen Personen, die ihm helfen wollen, sind eben jene zwielichtigen Personen, die ihm eine "Wahrheit" verkaufen wollen, die er sich nicht im Entferntesten vorstellen kann. Ist die Welt real oder nur eine computergesteuerte, von Maschinen beherrschte, virtuelle Illusion?

Regie und Drehbuch führen die Wachowski-Geschwister, die ebenfalls das Drehbuch für "V wie Vendetta" schrieben. Ihnen und der sehr guten Leistung der Schauspieler ist es zu verdanken, dass zu keinem Zeitpunkt im Film eine Handlung realitätsfremd wirkt.
Neben der erstklassigen Schauspielarbeit tragen die herausragenden Spezialeffekte enorm zur Atmosphäre bei.
Für ein Science Fiction Werk genial, für seine Zeit Weltklasse. Bullet-Time, eines der wesentlichsten und markantesten Effekte, feierte nach Matrix eine Revolution im Action-Genre. Jedoch ist ihre Anwendung in Matrix bisher noch unübertroffen.
Farbfilter, wie sie in "300" oder "Kill Bill" bekannt sind, kommen auch bei Matrix zu Einsatz.

Wie bereits erwähnt sind aber gerade die philosophisch/religiösen Elemente und Hinweise, welche im ganzen Film durch Namensgebung Handlungen und Dialogen auftauchen, besonders hervorzuheben. Versteckt unter der ganzen Action behandelt der Film die Mythen verschiedener Religionen und Weltanschauungen und wirft durchaus tiefgründige Fragen auf.

Wer diesen Film noch nicht gesehen hat, wer seine Brillanz nicht verstanden hat, der sollte einen Besuch bei der Videothek einplanen. An diesem Meisterwerk führt kein Weg vorbei Matrix ist die rote Kapsel Teil 2 und 3 wohl eher die blaue…… Expand

The Matrix is a classic science fiction film that has a astonishing three dimensional cartoon world and has artsy action like you would see in a comic book but in 3D. What makes the film special, is it's taking a journey with it's charactersThe Matrix is a classic science fiction film that has a astonishing three dimensional cartoon world and has artsy action like you would see in a comic book but in 3D. What makes the film special, is it's taking a journey with it's characters and people watching the movie trying to figure out this matrix universe, the film does not spoon feed the audience. It describe many details as possible. Neil (Keanu Reeves) is a young hacker who wants to know what is the matrix, so he thinks Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) the dangerous man alive, to answer his question. He is contacted by Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) so they can go to a mysterious underworld were they'll meet Morpheus. Their fighting for their lives against intelligent secret agents. It is a truth that could cost Neo something more precious than his life. I don't care if people think Reeves is a bad actor, to be honest he's like able but this guy is trying to make his character awesome, likeable and to root for while he proves he's a physical actor, which makes the action more better. Laurence Fishburne as the leader is the best leader in the film, he awnsers all the questions that audiences have, he's something people need while watching the film. Writen and directed by the Wachowski brothers, they put so much detail in their marvel script and if there's one thing that they achieve in directing their action block busters is understanding the art of an action scene. Bill Pope's camera work is so mindblowing and that's why the Matrix is equally good about the film, and make the action scene more better. The film is well-made, astonishing camera work and written and directed by the talented Wachowski brothers. Grade A+… Expand

If I was dying and had to recommend to my child only 1 film to watch until they understand it fully, it would be the Matrix (trilogy).

That's how good it is.

It has great gravity defying action, good lore, is philosophical and has a unique style. The movie uses a lot of inspirations to create a unique experience. There is often a debate that the movie stole many ideas and is not that unique because of this. I cant deny that they borrow ideas or lets say were inspired by many sources like for example by “World on a Wire” which is based on the book Simulacron 3 or the “Brain in a vat / jar” thought experiment. However there are unique ideas, improvements compared to the sources and the result is refreshing. At the end I say they use established elements and new ideas to created a unique look, style and experience. Story: After the initial scene that left you puzzled the story follows the hacker Thomas Anderson nicknamed Neo on a journey that turns all his believes and worldviews upside down. His (heroes) journey trough the rabbit hole is breathtakingly awesome for him and the viewer. The story delivers a great experience garnered with twists, surprises, philosophical themes and gorgeous fight scenes. The action scenes are what everyone knows. The camera angle create a never before seen effect that is as stylish as awesome. Since then many have used it in parodies, homages or mixtures of both. The special effects were also top notch and create an immersive feeling. It looks often realistic enough for me to get a disturbing feeling. Actors: We got a great cast of actors for the roles. Lets start with Keanu Reeves as Thomas Anderson aka Neo. He nails his role as hacker, software developer and hero. He can shine and fully deliver all aspects of the role. For Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus and Carrie Ann Moss as Trinity I say the same. They are both an incarnation of coolness, style and badassary (If the last counts as word. If not replace it with awesomness). Both enhance the movie and would deeply be missed. A hidden star is Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith. He becomes one of the most recognized villains in movie history, is truly enjoyable and deeper than it seems at first. The rest of the cast is a good addition to the main actors. Overall this became a hit and I consider it a must see movie of its time. Sadly the prequels fail to recreated this but this is another story or better said review. Bonus knowledge: Do you know that the humans are the bad guys in the franchise? The machines have become sentient and humans start to destroy them. Those that escaped build their cities in remote areas unsuited for humans and want to coexist peacefully. They sent ambassadors to create peaceful relations to the humans. Those were murdered without second thought and they tried to genocide the machines with nuclear attacks. Only after this the machines started a war in self-preservation. It was also the humans who destroyed the biosphere not the machines. Even after the war ended they did not extinct humans and gave them a utopia in the matrix (The first set up of it not the actual one which is shown in the movie). More context is delivered in the “Animatrix”.… Expand

Stellar performances by Reeves, Fishburne and of course Hugo Weaving as the indomitable Agent Smith, ensure that this movie sits rightly on the pantheon of classic sci-fi movies-wicked.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Loving the action sequences and special effects to this very day, I had my eyes focused on the situation on who is the matrix and how to know what it is from beginning to end, and filled me with lots of questions on reality(but knowing its not true and meant for entertainment)

A spectacular thrill ride in the style of a cyber update of Alice in Wonderland, Keeanu Reeves plays Neo, a computer hack who unlocks the secret of the matrix and fines himself thrown into the deep underworld of reality where the discovery that interstellar machines have exploited the human race for generations, is uncovered. Neo is found by the rebellion and their leader Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) who believes Neo is the chosen one, and they both set out to survive with freedom in their hands, and the Matrix is sending enemies closing in on them.

though it was kind of flawed looking, it is still a great movie that could have been the next star wars hadn't its sequels been so awful other than that one of the most action packed sic-fi fantasies ever shown on the big screen

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Get this: what if all we know as reality was, in fact, virtual reality? Reality itself is a ravaged dystopia run by technocrat Artificial Intelligence where humankind vegetates in billions of gloop-filled tanks - mere battery packs for the machineworld - being fed this late '90s VR (known as The Matrix - you with us here?) through an ugly great cable stuck in the back of our heads. And what if there was a group of quasi-spiritual rebels infiltrating The Matrix with the sole purpose of crashing the ruddy great mainframe and rescuing humans from their unknown purgatory? And, hey, what if Keanu Reeves was their Messiah?

What sounds like some web freak's wet dream is, in fact, a dazzlingly nifty slice of sci-fi cool. The Wachowski Brothers (Andy and Larry - last seen dabbling in kinky lesbian noir with the excellent Bound) pulling off something like a million masterstrokes all at once. Taking the imprimatur of the video game, they meld the grungy noir of Blade Runner, the hyperkinetic energies of chopsocky, John Woo hardware and grandiose spiritual overtones into William Gibson's cyberpunk ethos to produce a new aesthetic for the millennium powered to the thudding beat of techno. And it is just incredible fun. The key is the technique of "flo-mo", a process born from Japanese animation, whereby an object in motion is seemingly frozen while the camera miraculously spins around it as if time and gravity are on hold. It grants the action (including some killer kung fu which Reeves and crew spent months perfecting) liberty to take on surreal visual highs. Superhuman feats permissible, of course, in the context of VR as the rebels download Herculean "talents" to fuel their subterfuge. Meanwhile, the audience can only gawp longingly, with its jaws thunking to the cinema floor in unison, as the heroes wrapped in skintight leather, sleek shades and designer cheekbones, spin up walls, leap from high rises and slip through streams of bullets in silken slo-mo. Tron this ain't.

Immediately reigniting the moribund cyberpunk genre (the kids can't get enough Stateside), this has thrust Reeves from his imploding career back to Speed highs (and laying to rest the hideous ghost of Johnny Mnemonic) and stolen much more of Star Wars' thunder than was thought humanly possible. For all its loony plot, The Matrix is fabulous.

Sure, the expert Fishburne is depended upon to expound the lion's share of the script as seer-like rebel leader Morpheus. Reeves, stunning in his newcast slenderness, as Thomas "Neo" Anderson, the hacker turned hope for all mankind (care of some ill-defined mystical calling) is asked little more than perpetual befuddlement. Like Speed, though, this movie plays on his iconic looks rather than his oak-like emoting. There's a major find, too, in the irresistible Carrie-Anne Moss, a majestically wrought combination of steely **** intelligence and rock-chick vivaciousness as fellow tripper Trinity. And Weaving, cast against type, neutralises his Aussie tones to a freaky deadpan, the head of the MiB-styled defence system set against the Goth invaders.

And sure, three minutes of post-movie deliberation and all this state-of-the-art cyberdevilry is reduced to the purest **** That, though, is not the point. The Matrix is about pure experience; it's been many a moon since the Empire crew have spilled out of a cinema literally buzzing with the sensation of a movie, babbling frenetically with the sheer excitement of discovery.

From head to tail, the deliciously inventive Wachowskis (watch them skyrocket) have delivered the syntax for a new kind of movie: technically mind-blowing, style merged perfectly with content and just so damn cool, the usher will have to drag you kicking and screaming back into reality. You can bet your bottom dollar George never saw this phantom menace coming.

Also the stunts like running on walls, dodging bullets and kung fu that excels any laws of gravity. And the camera always follows the actors even if they run on roofs, jump from building to building, through windows into the next building...

Keanu Reeves is not the best actor but he's perfect in the role of the cool Neo and you gotta admit he looks good in black. Carrie-Anne Moss is a good counterpart for Neo.

Release Date: April 9, 1999

Runtime: 136 Mins (2 hours 16 Minutes)

Main Storyline: Have you ever had a dream that you were so sure was real? What if you couldn't awaken? How would you know the difference between dream and reality? When a beautiful stranger (Carrie-Anne Moss) leads computer hacker Neo (Keanu Reeves) to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence. Neo joins legendary and dangerous rebel warrior Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) in the battle to destroy the illusion enslaving humanity.

The Directors: The Wachowski Brothers (Brothers Named Andy and Larry, Now Sisters Named Lilly and Lana) did really cool directing in this movie. He also directed the sequels including “The Matrix Reloaded (2003)”, “The Matrix Revolutions (2003)” and “The Matrix Resurrections (2021)”

The Actors: there cool actors are Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishbourne, Carrie-Anne Moss and Australia’s Hugo Weaving did cool acting like iconic Characters.

It’s a Live-Action Movie

It’s got Action and Sci-Fi in it

I enjoyed watching the movie when I was 9 but it’s really cool

I love this movie because it’s got Cyberpunk style, kung-fu fight scenes and Shooting Sprees. My Favourite Character is Neo because he’s really cool.

This is one of my Favourite movies of all time

I give it 10/10… Expand

From the camera work to the wire work before this film, nothing had been done like this in film before. Also, all the actors trained hard so that most of the time it’s them and not a stunt double which helps with the realism of the situation. The set design and cinematography is well chosen for each location so you fully understand where you are. From having green lighting when in the matrix to blue in the real world helps the viewer to understand the difference between the real world and the matrix. Also the set design and how the real world looks disgusting compared to the real world which looks amazing and way better. This film came out in 1999 and honestly the special effects in this film look way better than some nowadays. The special effects help convince the viewer how the real world is now a dystopian wasteland while shots that took place in the matrix was filmed on location. The acting in this film done by everybody was well cast for their roles and you can easily tell everybody was having a good time and gave it they're all. Nobody feels like they are dragging down this movie and that everybody has a part that is important to the film. But the main four actors you can obviously see they are giving it their all. Whether it be Keanu Reeves playing the main hero or Hugo Weaving playing the main villain you can easily see the character and not the actor. The character growth for Neo and Trinity from the start of the film to the end is there and is amazing to see. The pacing in this film is spectacular and you never feel like anything is slowing the film down. In the end, The Matrix is a classic film that everybody should check out at least once in their life.… Expand

The superb execution of a brilliant story concept was good enough to take me by surprise, and this is not easy for any movie to do -- most all film plots are very predictable. But the Matrix completely blindsided me when Neo woke up in that pod, I just didn't see it coming.

The special effects and fights could all be dispensed with, it's that core concept and story line that are so powerful and haunting. In the end, there's an uncomfortable similarity to our own Matrix-like experience in our work cubicles every day -- staring at computer screens -- being anonymous production units in a huge organization. We're not actually generating electricity, but something even more insidious -- our very brainpower and life energies are enslaved in our version of the Matrix, as our muscles atrophy. Eerily similar. But how can we waken from our Matrix? Will love save us, as it saved Neo? Whether it intended to or not, this film makes us confront the fundamental values and experiences of the human species in an increasingly cybernetic world. And for that, it rises beyond entertainment, to the level of chilling prophecy.… Expand

Obra prima do seculo XX!

Matrix é um filme completo, e sem sombra de duvidas, um dos melhores sci-fi já feitos. Podemos até dizer que havia um mundo sem Matrix e com Matrix, de tão revolucionário que é.

Primeiro começamos com o enredo, que não apenas trata-se claramente de uma metáfora para a sociedade contemporânea, como também adentra para problemas que podem ser uma realidade daqui há um tempo, trazendo questionamentos pertinentes até hoje - ou melhor, ainda mais hoje. O filme conta com algumas frases de efeito, que tem sua profundidade, o que pode ser contraditório tendo em vista a não "fixação", só que ,na realidade, o filme faz isso, só que em segundo plano. Os diálogos, de forma geral, são interessantíssimos, e muitas vezes nos vemos se pondo no lugar do Neo e imaginando nossa própria reação ao descobrir tudo aquilo.
Os personagens também são legais, mas nesse primeiro filme, não são muito aprofundados, voltando mais a atenção para Neo, Mortheus, Trinity e o Agente.

A cenas de ação em SlowMotion desse filme "simplesmente" mudaram o cinema pra sempre, inspirado não apenas filmes, como jogos e series/animes. Os efeitos, pra época, eram muito bem feitos, e até hoje são aceitáveis pra qualquer pessoa com um senso. A trilha sonora é marcante, tanto que é muito provável que você já tenha escutado "Clubbed To Death" mesmo sem saber da existência do filme - o que, convenhamos, não é muito fácil.
Ela também se torna presente nas cenas de ação, faz seu trabalho e apenas acrescenta. Adentrando no quesito áudio, o estéreo do filme foi muito bem utilizado em algumas cenas, como quando as capsulas dos projeteis caem no chão.

As interpretações são boas de forma geral, com um claro destaque a Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne e Hugo Weaving, quais sou fan de carteirinha!… Expand

And I have read there something about human being vs robot fight and end of the human race somehow. But now I have finished to watch this "The Matrix" film which was about the topic. Can`t imagine my feelings now and when I was watching and compare this feelings with the time when reading the book. Just wow! Pure wow! I loved this so much! I used to always think about pure intelligence and pure emotional life together in an ideal life. The end of this film helps me imagine this togetherness one more time like I did in the past years... Love it! 10/10!… Expand

The person below doesn't like good movies. The matrix is a landmark film that "a bit cheezy at times" never stops to keep entertaining

I was stunned by the visual effects, yet very confused by the plot and the dialogue. This was before we even had Internet access in Egypt. Some years later, fortunately, my brother read the first expalnation of the story online. Once everything became clear, I watched the movie again with the intention of grasping every minute detail; I even read whole parts of the script--this what I also did with 'Fight Club'. Till mow every time I watch the movie I feel that I live in this world, which is controlled by the machines,and I'm one of the story characters who's trying to free humans from slavery. Yes, I can say this movie is my escape from reality--just like the mesmerizing Harry Potter movies. Sometime I feel that the Matrix could be a reality, which could be considered by some people as a bit much, or even crazy, but some things around us allude to this idea. For examples, dreams, and not being able to decide whether you're awake or not, the dream is real or just a dream: the chemicals inside your brain make you believe the dream is a reality. I can positively say, the Matrix is one of the best science-fiction movies I've ever seen. It surpasses every movie in every aspect: the characters, the camerawork, the visual effects, and again, the plot. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys science fiction as much as I do.… Expand
