Month completed: June 2008

This goal was on the list because of all the movies I haven’t seen (and there are lots I haven’t seen), the Matrix is the one that really surprises people (“You haven’t seen the Matrix? I can’t believe that”).

And any “Hello Mr Anderson” reference would go straight over my head.

So Saturday was spent watching all three movies from the Matrix trilogy.

Here are my reviews:

The Matrix – a benchmark for all future science fiction movies – 5 out of 5

The Matrix Reloaded – not as good as the original, but still a strong story – 4 out of 5

The Matrix Revolutions – a shocker. The plot was lost in a sea of (albeit) impressive special effects – 2 out of 5

I would recommend seeing the first movie, but perhaps not the others, because if you see the second, you will have to suffer through the third.

Now, where’s my exit?
