The Matrix

1999

★★★★½ Liked

The Wachowskis have somehow escaped Cameron's audience despite having produced as spectacular a technical leap (and a genre one) as THE TERMINATOR. Both were made by equally savant-like, earnest-to-a-fault born filmmakers with some very specific recurring narrative idiosyncrasies. Difference being that a cautionary Cameron wants a human story to ground his tech fetish, and the more optimistic sisters add the tech fetish to embellish their human stories (I'll happily take either one).
