  • Must Go!

    One of the best science fiction movies ever

    by redyeah

    The first film shocks anyone seeing it for the first time. The bullet time has still never been touched. All of the effects are spectacular. The film goes from scene to scen beautifully. Neo's transformation is incredible. Morpheus is one of the best teachers in a film ever. Great movie.
