What if life was just an illusion? Say it aint so, say it aint so!
In The Matrix it turns out to be just that. Our lives are just a
series of artificial memories fed into our minds by a computer
somewhere. Join Neo (Keanu Reeves) as this terrible reality is
revealed to him by his new buddy Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne).
Morpheus and his team trains Neo to fight against the forces that have
thrust this artificial reality upon mankind. But they must first get
this reluctant hero to believe that he is the chosen champion of their
fight. Well, that they do and what a fight it is. The computer
generated effects aid significantly in the film to create a special
effects epic. It has been reported by some that the sequels to this
film lack the luster of the first, as is the case with most sequels.
Who cares? Even if that were to be true, it still doesn't take away
from the greatness of the first film! |
