The Matrix Review Part One

While I missed the class I've seen the Matrix plenty of times so writing a review shouldn't be a problem.

The Matrix Review - Part I

The Matrix is known for two things, for the action loving male in his teens and 20s its the "bullet time" scene. Whenever you see any slow motion scene in any movie / game / tv show someone will always say "Thats some Matrix sh!t!". For the more serious person its the philosophy behind the whole red pill / blue pill argument. Between the establishment (Cypher) and the rebel (Morpheus), and between messiah (Neo) and the outcast (Smith), but this is explored more in the two sequels.

The movie begins with Mr. Anderson (aka Neo) who is shown leading a life that is split between his corporate cubical and his hacker den apartment. His known hacking skills eventually bring him to the attention of Trinity who works for a mysterious man named Morpheus. Due to a rather...odd..experience with Agents, the peace keeps of the Matrix, Neo takes the extended hand of Trinity and is taken to Morpheus. The ever famous pill scene unfolds and Neo chooses the red pill and then Neo is reborn into the Real world.

After learning and adopting to the real mankind and to the Matrix itself, Neo is sent by Morpheus to see the Oracle and to find out his true purpose as "The One".

But every journey has its road bumps, and a faulty Agent and insane(or is he?) crew member of Morpheus ragtag band of freedom fighters will prove to be quite large bumps.
