The Matrix

CriticsCritics: 78
AudienceAudience: 8.5

In a machine-dominated future, a computer hacker begins to suspect that reality is not what it seems. After joining a group of underground rebels, he becomes involved in their fight against the powerful computers that rule the world and uncovers a startling new perspective on human life.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like stylish sci-fi action, rebellious heroes, and questions about reality and control, with some similarities to Inception; Not for you if you prefer grounded stories or subtle action.
