What if the world that we live in isn't true? What if you were told that what see today is all artificial and not true? The Matrix is a computer software that the machines developed when they started taking over planet Earth. Humans could no longer walk free but were cultivated and grown like plants and the energy of the human body is what kept the machines running. What we see today is an artificial world, something like a dream where nothing is true and everything is just another computer program. Mr. Thomas Anderson aka Neo (Reaves) is a computer programmer and a hacker by hobby. He learns of the existence of The Matrix but does not know what it is. A group of people have managed to free themselves from The Matrix and live in the real world. Trinity (Moss) tells Neo that if he wants to learn what The Matrix is, he should meet their leader, Morpheus (Fishburne). Morpheus thinks that Neo is The One, the person that would get rid of the machines and liberate the human race once more. He needs to convince Neo to join them, train them and find out if he truly is The One. The movie is remarkable for ushering a new era of special effects. The infamous 'Bullet Time' effect has been introduced in movie making by this very movie. The movie is an excellence of cinema and draws the line between the movies of the '90's and the movies of the new millennium. The only drawback in the movie was the slightly ridiculous and over-the-top action which is actually something that most people would enjoy. A spectacular watch and something that you can enjoy over and over again.

Thumbs up: Fabulous acting, stunning special effects

Thumbs down: Some action bits were a bit too exaggerated
