"The Matrix" by Yojimbo

A computer hacker who is unsatisfied with his life is contacted by a mysterious stranger who reveals to him that the "real world" is in fact a computer generated simulation designed to subjugate the human race. The most striking aspect of The Matrix is obviously its visuals; highly influenced by the wire work of Asian cinema, the Wachowski brothers cranked it up another level by creatively using computer software to pretty much perfect the action sequence. The mix of fetish wear, brilliantly designed cyber punk technology and super cool actors (both Reeves and Fishburne were catapulted into mega-stardom by this film) makes for an audio visual cocktail that influenced virtually every film that followed.

The Matrix review

A hacker has been summoned to make something happen for the better. There are sentinels, computer programs, a sophisticated ship, traitors, martial arts and lots of weapons involved in this unique groundbreaking film. The plot is intriguing and inimitable at the same time. The fight scenes have been replicated by several films and shows. Its idea and concept could have birthed the film Inception.

Ground Breaking Special Effects

Okay, I'll admit it. When I first went to see this film at the cinema, I couldnt leave quick enough. Keanu Reeves is quite wooden and the character Neo is a cliched 'reluctant hero'. Agent Smith isnt exactly one of the most menacing villains ever created but his emotionless overtone is the saving grace of the character. Yet despite these fundamental flaws, Matrix has something about it that makes you just want to stop and stare and take it all in. What this thing is I cannot quite define. Perhaps its the sobering idea that reality is not always what it appears to be. Perhaps its the idea that given the choice, what would you, or I, or any of us do? Live on, blissfully unaware in a false reality, living a happy life of ignorance? Or choose to have your freedom, live in fear of your life in...
