Plot

The world as we know it isn't what it appears. There is a hidden battle between Machines and humans and a computer hacker, Neo (Reeves), is sucked right into the middle of it.

Pros

Everything from an original story, great cast, cool special effects (state-of-the-art at the time) and a very strong soundtrack.

Cons

Some of the scenes a very dark (this movie is best watched in a dark room) and you will have to pay attention to the movie; no distractions. If you're like me, you will need to watch this movie multiple times to pick up on everything.
