About this movie

Have you ever had a dream that you were so sure was real? What if you couldn't awaken? How would you know the difference between dream and reality? When a beautiful stranger (Carrie Ann Moss) leads computer hacker Neo (Keanu Reeves) to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence. Neo joins legendary and dangerous rebel warrior Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) in the battle to destroy the illusion enslaving humanity. Now, every move, every second, every thought becomes a fight to stay alive--to escape The Matrix.

Ratings and reviews

Incredible foreshadowing of American society today! I was "wooed" by the sleek wardrobes, enticed by the hard, direct script, amazed by the stellar acting, tantalized by the action & more than realistic fight scenes, and satisfied to the end. Nothing like the original, Matrix.

Perfect pacing between (mostly) smart, interesting story concepts, cool characters, killer soundtrack and some of the absolutely best action sequences ever put onto the screen. 5 - starts, watch it. Bye.

9/10. Bro, who can hate this film. The others, sure but this one is awesome. How can you not call this one of the all time greatest Sci Fi movies. It had great special effects, Keanu Reeves is not stale, and the story although confusing made up with the action. Overall this is a fantastic film and if your a movid buff in any way you must watch The Matrix.
