Advantages: Pure genius at work

Disadvantages: could be quite confusing if your noy a regular cinema goer

"If there is a God he should be like Neo!" The characters in this film could all be looked upon as religious icons but its the director who is the god, his pure genis Slow-Mo monents are what have made the film so popular and well known but it couldnt be the same without the great narrative. If you like Sci- Fi epics then this is definately the film for you. It has certainly raised the bars for future sci-fi films. It contains all the generic conventions and more! My life would not be the same without this film! The films plot entails a Computer hacker Thomas Anderson (Neo) has lived a relatively ordinary life in what he thinks is the year 1999. Thats until he is contacted by a warrior form the real world Morpheus who leads him into the reailty that is the world 200 years later. The world has been become a war zone and taken over by advanced A.I. machines. The computers have created a reality world version of 20th century life "the "Matrix"" to keep the human slaves satisfied, while the A.I. machines draw power from the humans. Anderson, pursued constantly by "Agents" (computers who take on human form and infiltrate the Matrix), is hailed as "The One" who will lead the humans to overthrow the machines and reclaim the Earth.
A Must see film!

Summary: Pure genious, Buy it now!!!!
