Mr. Anderson...
Taking place in an irrelevant city in some year, the real setting of The Matrix is, well... The Matrix, a simulation that is just like our reality. The real reality is something beyond us, a place where humans can control everything if they "believe". Our hero, Neo (Keanu Reeves), is a computer hacker that has access to this reality beyond reality. His colleagues Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) join him in taking down the Agency, lead by Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving), with some Kung-Foo for added measure. This story is filled with intense action, funny moments, and perfectly combed hair to keep the audience entertained for 136 minutes of pure enjoyment. After some intense rest and aspirin, my mind is finally ready to share my opinion on this movie. Though confusing to a little 16 year old boy who struggles with his vocab homework, let alone The Matrix, I had a fine time watching the entire thing. There were some stale moments, like that stupid oracle lady, but overall, this was a great pick for an action movie. The grand highlights were without a doubt the following scenes: Neo dodging all of those bullets, Neo and Trinity killing everything in the main floor of the skyscraper, and everything that had the agents in them. I don't know why, but I feel naturally inclined to love the agents. Maybe it's because they share my same monotone voice? Who knows. Morpheus was a solid character who has to be one of the coolest people ever, Trinity was a nice love interest, and Neo really picked up toward the end. The fact that Neo was saved by the power of true love disgusts me, but at least that was saved by the train fight. Wow, that was cool. Anyways, the thought that I almost shelved The Matrix for another action film makes me wanna slap past me right in his stupid face. All jokes aside, The Matrix was everything an action movie should be and supposed to be and I really have no real complaints about it that aren't balanced out by attributes I enjoyed. Hats off to the director and actors, I had a great time while watching this.
