Synopsis:

Thomas Anderson is a man living two lives. By day he is an average computer programmer and by night a malevolent hacker known as Neo. Neo has always questioned his reality but the truth is far beyond his imagination. Neo finds himself targeted by the police when he is contacted by Morpheus, a legendary computer hacker branded a terrorist by the government. Morpheus awakens Neo to the real world, a ravaged wasteland where most of humanity have been captured by a race of machines which live off of their body heat and imprison their minds within an artificial reality known as the Matrix. As a rebel against the machines, Neo must return to the Matrix and confront the agents, super powerful computer programs devoted to snuffing out Neo and the entire human rebellion.

Brian's Rating: A+ : I am a huge fan of both science fiction and fantasy.  It starts with books, and spills over to movies where I like most of the small sampling that comes out (although, more recently).  Every decade or so, a movie comes along to revitalize the sci-fi genre.  Star Wars, T2, and then this one.  The Matrix incorporated revolutionary filming techniques to get some of the stop capture 360 viewpoint angles, and the effect is simply amazing.

Along with the technical stuff, it comes with a rich story line, "mostly" good acting, and a captivating environment.  I still have a hard time shaking Keanu Reeves from the Point Break role, and even in Matrix some of that comes through, but he does a decent job playing Neo.

There is not much else to say about this one.  If, for some reason you have not seen it, and you do not have an irrational hatred for the action/sci-fi film genre, then you need to pull your head out of the sand and go rent it.

Sebastian's Rating: A+ : finally, we're reviewing this movie

this is probably one of the best si fi movies around these days. there's not much to say about this movie, every knows it and everyones probably seen it. Apart from the next two matrix movies, this is probably my one of my favourite movies ever. mainly for the fighting scenes, special effects and the amazing techno world!

i think this movie deserves an A+
