The Matrix tells the story of a man named Neo who spends his time hacking computer programs. He knew that he was different from most people, and when a strange message comes across his computer this feeling is confirmed. Soon he meets Trinity and Morpheous who tell him that life is not what it seems and help him find the answer to the Matrix. In the process, Neo learns that he could be the answer to saving the free world and that it is up to him to stop the evil agents of The Matrix.
This film has many biblical and political references which are interspersed with the futuristic technology that gives this film an interesting twist. Keanu Reeves does a good job of playing a stiff and somewhat confused agent for good, but in the end, his performance isn't really believable. The story challenges the idea that people are given their own right to chose what they like and don't like, or what they want or don't want. The film does succeed on a philosophical level but doesn't exactly seem very realistic. The plot is thoroughly developed and the supporting cast outshines Reeves ten fold. Many interesting questions are posed throughout this film and most of them are answered with expected results.
Overall the film is somewhat confusing and has definitely been told before. However the acting is relatively good and the effects and theme is very strong throughout the movie. Definitely worth seeing!
