The Matrix (1999) starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving. Reeves plays Neo, a hacker who learns that the world we live in is just a computer construct. Neo is destined to be the One, the human who can save us all from our fates as slaves to the artificial intelligence that has taken over the world. The special effects are outstanding and the action is practically non-stop in this sci-fi thriller. Even though it doesn't all stand up to close analysis (the business with the Oracle is particularly pointless), it's rollicking good kick-ass entertainment. The martial-arts scenes are killer. The helicopter flight over NYC is spectacular. The subtitles are very good. Grade: A-
