To save the world of the future, a software computer expert in modern-day America is brought into contact with a mysterious character called Morpheus, the inhabitant of a universe some 2000 years in the future. The software expert, now re-christened Neo, agrees to be fitted with technology enabling him to be updated continuously with endless amounts of knowledge, so that he can eventually do battle with the Matrix, a power field run by sinister computer-like forces, that controls a new 'virtual' real world. Matrix has been described as Blade Runner for the computer literate and in many ways the stunning visuals of the film compare to it's predecessor in originality but here the use of wire stunts, computer animation and balletic martial arts take the sci-fi action film to a new dimension. "A more technically dazzling synthesis of action choreography & cutting edge computer graphics has not been seen since James Cameron's T2" - New York Post
