It's one of the most original films you'll likely see all year, which, depending on your threshold for certifiably crazy storylines, could be a rewarding experience or one that frustrates you.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Such an amazing concept! The idea that ones mind can be so easily mislead is scary. Not too unlike Keanu Reeves acting. But a great film non the less.
I think now, seeing it for the second time, after almost 20 years, that as well without the special effects, the film would have value, only because of the impeccable acting performances of the five protagonists: Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving and Joe Pantoliano. One of the best science-fiction movies ever, filming that still take your breath away after so many years, pure action. Adrenaline, fantasy, myth, precision.
Love this epic film and better yet watching it again every 3-5 years
Cannot get enough of this classic. So many themes incorporated to give the story a deeper philosophical meaning, which are not immediately noticed. Definitely one of those movies that really makes you think. Thought-provoking. Great effects. Intense soundtrack. Excellent story.
