March came in like a lamb and went out with a bang! The Matrix is extrasensory saturation, it is unlike anything that you have ever seen before or are likely to ever see again. No film has ever described itself so completely, "no one can tell you what the Matrix is, you must see it for yourself." Have you ever had that dream where you get up and go to school/work, and the whole time it seems so real, so real that when you wake up you have to question yourself as to whether or not it really was a dream. What if the dream was reality and reality was the dream? If all of reality suddenly became unreal and everything you knew was all the construct of another, could you handle it? I don't remember the last time I left a theatre unable to vocalize my opinions on a film. And the reason in this case is quite simply that the Matrix is movie magic at its best. The FX are seamless, the cast is superb and the plot is out of this world. What if yesterday was a fantasy, today was a dream and tomorrow was a nightmare?

All ratings based on a 5 star system.
