\"\"<\/a>The Matrix<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t as philosophical as it wants to portray itself, and there are certainly silly moments, but it is still a lot of fun and most of the visual effects still hold up rather well nearly 20 years later.<\/p>\n

THE MOVIE \u2014 4.25\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Neo (KEANU REEEVES) believes that Morpheus (LAURENCE FISHBURNE), an elusive figure considered to be the most dangerous man alive, can answer his question: What is the Matrix? Neo is contacted by Trinity (CARRIE-ANNE MOSS), a beautiful stranger who leads him into an underworld where he meets Morpheus. They fight a brutal battle for their lives against a cadre of viciously intelligent secret agents. It is a truth that could cost Neo something more precious than his life.<\/p>\n

Review: The Matrix<\/em><\/strong> came out nearly 20 years ago and still holds up today, both in terms of a well told story, albeit the philosophical dialogue was a bit much to be honest, as well as some still impressive visual effects, though it\u2019s hard not to think of the numerous movies that attempted to copy or parody the style.<\/p>\n

One of the more interesting aspects was the inspiration behind the story by The Wachowskis was the hit manga and anime series. What\u2019s funny, all of these years later, it is by far and away the better Ghost in the Shell<\/em> adaptation than the actual live action adaptation.<\/p>\n

The acting from Laurence Fishburne is rather good considering the on-point and philosophical dialogue, as he does one hell of a job delivering it while Keanu Reeves was… fine especially considering he never was considered to be a great auteur though in recent years, courtesy of the John Wick<\/em> franchise, has revitalized his career. Carrie-Anne Moss for her part kicked ass and for their short amount of screen time, did at least have good chemistry with Reeves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, as good and entertaining of a movie that The Matrix<\/em><\/strong> was in my latest viewing, its subsequent sequels were rather lame to the point I\u2019d like to imagine Reloaded<\/em> and Revolutions<\/em> don\u2019t exist at all as they took that all-too-serious philosophical storytelling to the next level where it became utterly laughable, and that\u2019s not to mention just a messy plot and stupid cliffhanger ending in Reloaded<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In the end, The Matrix<\/em><\/strong> is hardly perfect but still really enjoyable with some finely choreographed fighting and action sequences intermixed with, at its core, a really interesting story.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
