Have you ever had a dream that you were so sure was real? What if you couldn't awaken? How would you know the difference between dream and reality? When a beautiful stranger (Carrie Ann Moss) leads computer hacker Neo (Keanu Reeves) to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence. Neo joins legendary and dangerous rebel warrior Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) in the battle to destroy the illusion enslaving humanity. Now, every move, every second, every thought becomes a fight to stay alive--to escape The Matrix.

Overall, for a complicated scenario, things are pretty tight story wise and the film noir feel adds to the aesthetics.

To say that it must be seen for yourself is no understatement.

Good news, my dudes. The Matrix might be better now than it was in 1999!

Whoa! A film that without a doubt left its mark on cinema and pop culture. One of the best sci-fi films of all time. [Full review in Spanish]

Black Girl Nerds

The Matrix isn't just a movie, it's an entire philosophy that also examines metamorphosis and personal transformation to mirror The Wachowskis' own personal journeys as trans women.

Common Sense Says

Intense, but many teens will be able to handle it.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that although The Matrix is an exciting, sometimes confusing, sci-fi adventure with a brooding Keanu Reeves and a mysterious Laurence Fishburne at it center. It's heavy on special effects and rated R for violence (some pretty gross, including an icky bug that enters the hero's body through his belly button) and language ("s--t," "goddamn," "crap," etc.). Most teens 14 and up who are begging to see it should be able to handle it without a problem, though the plot can be confusing as it unfolds.
