With as big as of a movie fan I am, this is actually the first time I've seen The Matrix, and after finally seeing it I feel underwhelmed. Despite the revolutionary special effects, high octane action sequences, a promising story and a great ensemble cast, the film falters in its overall execution. The story is beyond overly confusing with large amounts of exposition to catch up the viewers on what's happening. The film asks intelligent existential questions and develops an intriguing universe to accompany it, but the interest level begins to fall when it is over-beard with confusing explanations as to what's going on with characters I don't find too particularly engaging. Although the film is a historic standpoint in special effects and storytelling, in my opinion the film feels dull and exhaustingly boring.
