From the moment you were born until the present time. Everything you believe in is false. This is the idea behind The Matrix, directed by Andy and Larry Wachowski. This movie was released in 1999 but still has better computer graphics than movies of today. This movie was thoroughly interesting and had my mind always asking questions, waiting for the next piece of the puzzle to fit.
The Matrix is a sci-fi movie that involves a totally unique concept of the world we live in. A computer hacker, Neo (Keanu Reeves), discovers that the life he has been living is only a distraction, hiding him from the truth about the real world run by cyber intelligence. These machines use humanity to fuel the Matrix in effort to dominate the "real" world. Reeves joins a group of human rebels led by Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) to fight against this artificial intelligence which threaten to overtake their world. The ending of this movie could have been more meaningful. Instead the movie left me wondering if Marvel Comics wrote it and Superman had made a pointless appearance with no regards to the plot. Of course this movie had to have a side love story. The pointless relationship between Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Reeves was typical and extremely boring as in most action movies. I could easily believe it was a P.S. to the script having just appeared in spurts. .
Reeves played his roll with excellence as a confused, scared, and also curious human being. Although Reeves played this part spectacularly, it seemed almost as though he was still recovering from his other role as a senseless, mindless moron from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Some of his facial expressions showed that he had a rough night and was still puzzled as to what he was doing on the set. The costumes and props of the actors were all very futuristic and necessary for the plot. Morpheus's sunglasses with no ear support are sleek and very creative reminding the audience of when this movie takes place.
