Three features. With THE MATRIX, the Wachowskis have established themselves as innovative filmmakers who push the boundaries of live-action films. Like the groundbreaking STAR WARS, THE MATRIX (also the first film of a trilogy) showcases a unique visual style, one the Wachowskis achieved through an array of techniques and digital effects, some never before seen in mainstream Hollywood films. Although computer morphing technology had been used before in films such as THE ABYSS and TERMINATOR 2, the Wachowskis were the first to use 'bullet time,' a time-bending digital effect that utilises both computer-generated imagery and still photography. The film itself is a complex story that aspires to mythology, focusing on a computer hacker named Neo (Keanu Reeves) who searches for the truth behind the mysterious force known as the Matrix. He finds his answer with a group of strangers led by the charismatic Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne). What they encounter in confronting that truth makes for a lightning-paced, eye-popping thrill ride of a movie. Packed with stunning fight scenes (choreographed by accomplished Hong Kong director Yuen Wo-Ping), astonishing visual effects, quotable lines, and a terrific supporting cast (led by Carrie-Anne Moss, in her first major Hollywood film), THE MATRIX is a bold triumph that raises the bar for all science fiction films. Also includes THE MATRIX RELOADED and MATRIX REVOLUTIONS.

Matrix 2+ 3 poo...
But the original Matrix is superb,and THAT lobby shootout in HD is STILL THE best sequence in an action film with that music.
Keanu envy. On the fifth day of the Berlinale it's sorely tempting to question the reasons behind Keanu Reeves's success. He’s been one of Hollywood's best paid actors for years now, he’s has scores of fans worldwide and, as the hero of The Matrix Trilogy, he gets to chose whatever projects he pleases. But, love him or hate him, you have to agree that he always seems so absent-minded on screen, almost bored and unmotivated... No? Maybe it's just jealousy on our part. After all,... Read more
