A classic Science Fiction groundbreaking, exciting, visually stunning, philosophical.
As we follow Neo's path (anagram for One as in 'the one') from a computer programmer at a respectable tech company (he is also a hacker in his spare time and uses Neo's alias) he is discovered by both machine control system agents but also by free people from this control and is first contacted by Morpheus who becomes Neo's mentor and introduces him to The Matrix.
From the beginning to the end, you are taken on what seems like a true journey that involves lots of action and amazing special effects that at the time were ground breaking and then fresh and replicated, but never quite matched.
It has bags of style and coolness and uses a green tint when the actors are in the matrix and blue tint when they are in the real world.
So what is the matrix?
The matrix is a virtual reality created by advanced intelligent machines to keep humanity in control whilst using them for energy to power themselves. This all occurred after man created AI and lost a war with them.
It took me a very long time to understand the matrix as I thought it was very complicated and full of philosophical ideas which it is but essentially the story is very simple to grasp a so explained above.
It’s such a cooly executed piece of sci fi cinema by the Wachowskis who directed and wrote it.
If I remember right, for many years I haven't really liked it that much, but back then I was pretty young.
Excellent science fiction film and a must see!
