The Matrix (1999)
7/10
Disappointingly Straightforward . . .

A few points:

I braced myself for a plotline that would be hard to follow but was surprised to find this movie very straightforward. I do understand that this was very advanced for its time, but that doesn't mean I can't be disappointed with its simplicity.

I like the humans are a virus explanation.

The score was remarkably complex and thought out. Seriously, you should look into it.

The thrown-together romance is where this movie lost me. I know Neo and Trinity's romance developed further in the sequels, but it felt like it just came out of nowhere. Death, pain - oh, and also I'm in love with you and the Oracle totally spoke to me about it long before this moment.

I also recently discovered that we were possibly robbed of a trans experience allegory, so I am a little bitter.
