Free movie review: Matrix, you'll forget your bag of popcorn with this SCSI speed sci-fi trip at the interface of digital reality. I've always enjoyed science fiction, probably because it has a way of becomming reality. In Martix, everday reality is exposed as a mental prison as one is lifted through a multilevel view of consciousness where the present is virtualized in a real time future. Is it real or is it Memorex? Look for the sign on top of the building.

I'll be vague about story line because its worth seeing. What's particularly appealing is how Matrix delivers some deeper insights without being too self involved. There's bits of humor and guruism, enough techno-babble to create a stage for the huge special effects budget, and a sound track that will probably make its own CD appearance... punk cyber rock and roll.

Anyone whose personally ventured to trespass the realities we commonly assume to be real, through meditation, synthetics, sensory dep tanks, or extreme activity will recognize questions this movie plays with but doesn't pretend to answer. Its true, we do turn our minds over to a cultural matrix whose size and dimensions we can only guess at. The question lingers if everything we perceive and think isn't composed of bits with an unknown intent, or if we ever pierce the veil of perception. Enjoy...

Jim

"...but I wonder where the line is."

The line is drawn by each of us, in what we tolerate, in what we do and say, whether we understand that someone else doesn't have the answer or the secret or the best method. But most importantly, the line is drawn by what we value in life and how we respect that.
