Perhaps you've been asking yourself a question for a few weeks now: what is The Matrix? Unfortunately, no one should tell you what The Matrix is... you should really go and see it for yourself. But you can thank Joel Silver and the Wachowski brothers for giving it to you, and thank the cast which reportedly spent four months training to do all their own stunts to make it even better. Keanu Reeves gets his "cool" lessons from Laurence Fishburne, helping Reeves turn in one of his more acceptable performances of late. Backed by relative newcomer Carrie-Anne Moss, these three head up the resistance against The Matrix in order to free humanity by fighting, shooting, or blowing up anything that stands in the way. More than meaningless action, this adventure comes with a plot, one that'll keep you thinking well after you get back into line to see it again. Let The Matrix have you... at least until May 19th, 1999!
