A sci-fi action thriller milestone
Posted : 2 years, 1 month ago on 3 March 2022 10:08
'The Matrix' may not be one of the very greatest examples of its genre (like '2001', 'Metropolis', 'Blade Runner', 'Back to the Future', 'Star Wars Original Trilogy', 'Alien' and 'Aliens'), but that it is revolutionary in how its visuals and use of sound broke boundaries like had never been done before cannot be denied.
It is not a film to be seen if people want character depth or relationship depth, with the forced and underdeveloped love subplot between Neo and Trinity being 'The Matrix's' sole weak spot. This ended up not being that huge a problem for me because everything else is so well executed.
Particularly striking about 'The Matrix' is its production values. Simply put, the film looks amazing in its audacious production design, dazzling special effects that are some of the most ultra-cool and imaginative to exist, super slick editing and often jaw dropping cinematography. So much more than a film with ground-breaking special effects and use of camera work that broke boundaries.
Use of sound was also striking, and how the pulsating and hypnotic music score was used. Andy and Larry Wachowski direct adeptly, while the script is an intelligent mix of complex and well-explored themes, mysticism, philosophy and even Lewis Carroll and the story is often invigorating and intensely taut with a smart concept brilliantly done.
Action is superbly shot and edited, and the way it is choreographed is relentlessly intense and breathless in its energy, Kung Fu has rarely been more vertigo-inducing (despite how this sounds, this is not a bad thing as it added hugely to the intensity and paranoia of the story's atmosphere) on film.
Keanu Reeves is in one of his best and most iconic roles and has never looked cooler, certainly has not looked this comfortable for a while before then. Carrie Anne Moss is strong. Even better are an imposingly charismatic Laurence Fishburne (also in one of his best roles), an amusing Joe Pantoliano and a deliciously wicked Hugo Weaving.
Summing up, not one of the best of the genre but a mile-stone nonetheless and a great one. Followed by two sequels, both nowhere near in the same ball-park. 9/10 Bethany Cox

This movie reflects society in many ways. We are all subject to media influence on which people form there opinions. Too many people like to live in a false world and not what to realize what's really happening.

The Matrix

By far and still the BEST action flick out there by the Wachowski Brothers. They tried to make a come back with "No Country For Old Men" but The Matrix will always be buried in the back of my mind forever. LOL!

This movie broke boundries and set some standards for action/sci-fi movies much like the Terminator did years earlier! It also caused people to ponder some ideas of philosophy!

Easily the Best in the Matrix Series

Easily the best in the Matrix series. Although I do like the 2nd one, this one broke new ground for Sci-Fi, and will go down as one of the greatest of all time.

great start

This is one of my favorite movies, and I may be one of the only fans that likes all three movies. It's great because it can be looked at on the surface (great action and sci-fi), and if you want to look into it, there's plenty to go through (and argu about, if you're into that).
