À propos de ce film

Programmeur anonyme dans un service administratif le jour, Thomas Anderson devient Neo la nuit venue. Sous ce pseudonyme, il est l'un des pirates les plus recherchés du cyber-espace. A cheval entre deux mondes, Neo est assailli par d'étranges songes et des messages cryptés provenant d'un certain Morpheus. Celui-ci l'exhorte à aller au-delà des apparences et à trouver la réponse à la question qui hante constamment ses pensées : qu'est-ce que la Matrice ? Nul ne le sait, et aucun homme n'est encore parvenu à en percer les defenses. Mais Morpheus est persuadé que Neo est l'Elu, le libérateur mythique de l'humanité annoncé selon la prophétie. Ensemble, ils se lancent dans une lutte sans retour contre la Matrice et ses terribles agents.

Notes et avis

Cringeworthy especially for its time lol. People only praise it because of the casting it. Imagine if they were obese? I bet nobody would think it's badass film.

The Matrix is a movie that broke the rules of cinematography and took filming in a whole different direction. Although the book was a lot better, mostly because of the battery direction they went in the movie. I still think this movie should be praised for being completely different from anything that came before it, also fast forwarding film with a whole new genre. The CGI has not aged well, but thank the gods there are not many scenes in the "real world" so it doesn't kill the movie entirely. The Matrix is a classic hands down, and needs to be watched more than once to enjoy the many things that are in the background and foreground. Definitely an A+ for this one

One of the best sci-fi movies ever to be made. The second and third movies were not good (the direction was more special effects at the sacrifice of story). But the first movie was a masterpiece, and set the ground for what could have been.
