The Matrix opens with a thrilling action scene that shows the strength of the action and CGI present in the film, and in many ways it never lets up. It's a pitch-perfect mix of sci-fi, innovative concepts, fighting, philosophy, techinical beauty and coolness.
Keanu Reeves stars as Neo, the computer hacker who is sucked into the 'real world' outside of the Matrix, and he is great, but not because his performance is outstanding - its actually extremely emotionless for the lead - but because it suits the character perfectly, leveling him to iconic status as he mutters 'Guns, lots of guns.' He is backed up superbly by Laurence Fishburne and Carrie Anne-Moss, as fellow rebels Morpheus and Trinity. Hugo Weaving also steals the show as Agent Smith.
A real treat of a film, the Matrix is a sci-fi masterpiece filled with memorable momments, action and a deep story. 10/10, practically perfect.
