Programmeur anonyme dans un service administratif le jour, Thomas Anderson devient Neo la nuit venue. Sous ce pseudonyme, il est l'un des pirates les plus recherchés du cyber-espace. A cheval entre deux mondes, Neo est assailli par d'étranges songes et des messages cryptés provenant d'un certain Morpheus. Celui-ci l'exhorte à aller au-delà des apparences et à trouver la réponse à la question qui hante constamment ses pensées : qu'est-ce que la Matrice ? Nul ne le sait, et aucun homme n'est encore parvenu à en percer les defenses. Mais Morpheus est persuadé que Neo est l'Elu, le libérateur mythique de l'humanité annoncé selon la prophétie. Ensemble, ils se lancent dans une lutte sans retour contre la Matrice et ses terribles agents... (texte officiel du distributeur)

An excellent film that combines well shot action scenes with an interesting and original story, full of symbols. I got carried away by the action moments (although admittedly I found some of the kung-fu gestures ridiculous) and at the same time I didn't miss the emotions and some of the dialogue scenes were excellent (the scene with the bucket is not to be missed). On my way out of the cinema, I looked around feeling paranoid for a while. I hope that the next episodes will not only be a display of visual effects, but will also have something more, just like this one.

I’m finally done with the entire trilogy. The first part is the most straightforward and intimate and the one works as a standalone film, but also as the beginning of a saga. A great idea, brilliantly executed and deeply philosophical (I would love to read the philosophy behind the Matrix universe, it could be very interesting. It addresses almost everything, from noetic questions about the possibilities and ways of human cognition, through the creation of one's own ontological system, to the problems of causality and the question of choice). In any case, the first Matrix is a groundbreaking and hugely important film and I could even be more in love with it if I had a fetish for the nice clothes the characters wear.

In my opinion, this film has started something... Its impressive visual rendering and stylistic polishing are still copied by many action films today, and (unfortunately) few take the time to invent an elaborate plot that would have a fairly solid philosophical footing (I don't mean the spawn that the flock of furious interpreters of every little thing have created around the film). The Matrix worked as an action film (the fights are simply a treat!), as science fiction and as a film with a deeper idea. It's certainly not cyberpunk, as many unlearned people claim, and it's certainly nothing original – most of The Matrix's "source" files are not commonly known to our culture, although all you have to do is go through the relevant sections of Japanese cinema. The Matrix is one of the first messengers of the "new hi-tech" film with everything that it encompasses, the messenger of a new futuristic conception of the action element in the story. At the same time, I won't be far from the truth when I say that it will always be a cult film – just as it's hard to take it out of the family of classic sci-fi films.

An unassuming film that changed sci-fi, changed action, and changed all of pop culture. A cult that I always enjoy watching again and that will always amaze me how everything fit together for Lana and Lilly Wachowski: characters you care about from the first encounter, a story that is not one hundred percent original but combined in a way that leaves you speechless, and special effects that will blow your mind: the helicopter, dodging bullets, and the final chase. A unique film, not a trilogy. There can only be one Matrix.
