review of the matrix

hey there.. i finally was forced to watch " the matrix". i was never really interested in the movie, it did not really look like a movie that i would personally be interested in. i knew about the movie and some what of what it is about but wasn't interested in finding out any more about it and especially did not want to watch it on my own time. but now that it was a class assignment to watch it what the heck might as well... neo (keanu reeves) is a computer hacker who desperatly wants to find the meaning to 'the matrix'. neo finally gets pulled into the free world through a series of events that involves meeting trinity, a rebel against the matrix, and being chased by the men in black look alikes The Agents .soon neo finally meets morpheus, the leader of the rebels. morpheus believes that neo is "the one' who is going to save mankind from the matrix that they are unaware of.morpheus explains to neo that the matrix is the world that humans live in the year of 2199 where machines control humans and they use humans for their body heat to produce energy to replace the sun that no longer exist because of the polluted dark sky blocking out the sun. this is a world where humans are not aware that they are not in control of their own lives. "the matrix"at first seemed odd and difficult to undertsand but really it was the complete opposite. " the matrix" was a classic case for me of don't judge a book by it's cover. i found this movie to be very original in both direction and screenplay and rises above other acclaimed sci-fi / thriller movies. the matrix is perhaps one of the few sci fi flicks that is suspenseful, intelligent, and sensible since "the terminator". i highly recommend this film just be sure if you want to take the blue pill of the red pill first.

I agree that the terminator and the matrix are similar. There was a rumar that the matrix was supposed to be a sequel to the terminator movies and the creators of the matrix actually stole the idea dromthe creators of the terminator movies.
