In one word: ultra-cool. After all, how can't it be? You've got action-hunk Keanu Reeves poster-babe Carrie-Anne Moss, some of the hippest visual effects this side of the millenium (so hip, in fact, they have their own jargon: bullet-time), martial arts choreography by the legendary Yuen Wo Ping (who has graduated from numerous Jackie Chan movies to the recent Ang Lee epic Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon), and a style that's oh-so-slick it aches. The movie bagged numerous awards including 4 Oscars. And the story - if you needed one by this point - Neo (Reeves, Constantine, Thumbsucker) is your average computer programmer who one day receives word that he may be the savior of the universe as he knows it. And that the universe as he knows it isn't really the universe that exists at all. Whisked away by Trinity (Moss, Snow Cake, The Chumscrubber) and Morpheus (Fishburne, Assault on Precinct 13, Five Fingers) who head an elite underground rebel unit, Neo is trained in the art of savoring (in true cyber punk fashion he doesn't actually have to learn anything it can be downloaded into his head), and sent in to destroy the enemy.
