In the near future, a computer hacker called Neo discovers that all life on Earth may be nothing more than an elaborate facade created by a malevolent cyber-intelligence, for the purpose of placating us while our life essence is "farmed" to fuel the Matrix's campaign of domination in the "real" world. He joins like-minded Rebel warriors Morpheus and Trinity in their struggle to overthrow the Matrix.
And that is the basis for the three Matrix films. There had never been anything quite like the Matrix and people were wowed by it’s special effects right through the trilogy but I think the first and the original will always stick out in many peoples minds.
Warner are planning to release a special boxset of the Matrix Trilogy in Blu ray some time in 2008/2009. Can you imagine the glory of this futuristic action thriller in the sharpness of High definition blu-ray DVD? It will be magnificent, almost as good as watching them at the theater and I saw the Matrix twice when it came out in Cinemas way back in 1999. I can’t believe it was 10 years ago. The Matrix was a film ahead of its time.
Keanu Reeves is Neo and he fits the roll well, as Neo os more a doer than a speaker. Carrie Anne Moss is Trinity, his faithful sidekick and Laurence Fishburne is Morpheus, a real Zealot for the Zion cause who never falters in his belief. These actors are all well cast and really add to the gritty realism of the futuristic world.
The Soundtrack is spot on too and I am sure the audio on the trilogy bos set will do this thumping soundtrack justice.
The Matrix is a classic Iconic film, everyone knows the green symbols racing across the screen and the black coated man in dark shades. Soon you will be able to own this piece of Cinematic history in High Definition, I for one can’t wait for the Blu-ray release.
