How come no one thought of this movie before? Okay, maybe they did, and they just didn't do it well.
Well The Wachowski brothers came through this time, and they came through big. The Matrix is a world
pulled over the eyes of the human race, to create energy for the machines that have taken over the
earth. Only a few survive outside the Matrix. Neo(Keanu Reeves) escapes with the help of a few other
rebels, in disbelief of the truth before him. Neo must realize he is the one that the Oracle predicted
could save the entire human race.
Keanu Reeves puts in a good performance. This is suprising considering that he is disgusting in any other
role besides this. Yes, he even sucked in Speed even though I liked it. Joe Pantaliano is an amazing
actor, and I have ecspecially come to like him since I saw Memento. Where did that half-star go?
The closing sequence. Sure, to the normal cinema going audience it was sweet, but do we really want a
shootout? Sure, I'll be waiting for the sequel.
