🍿 Watched (back in May 2022): The Matrix (1999)

Movie poster for The Matrix (1999, directed by Lana Wachowski) featuring four characters in dark clothing, standing confidently. Review: Maybe it’s just because this movie is hyped so highly, but I didn’t think it quite lived up. I enjoyed the concept and it’s very imaginative, but I could have done without the romance aspect and the second half dragged a bit for me. But I can see why people like it, why it’s back in the zeitgeist, and why it spawned such a fervor. Rating: One thumb up.
