and a couple of the characters where cheesy enough, kind of like terminator, but the plot was excellent. And I enjoyed the filming and the scene staging. The special effects were unique and the director did try to create a mood. The mystical approach was somewhat novel and different, and I can respect that creatively.Although for Canoe Reeves, in the acting arena, it was his finest hour :o)

... not that Keanu is capable of great acting. I am saying that great acting could kill a movie like "Matrix". Actors have to play 2nd fiddle to the "Lost in Space" plot, "Xena : Warrior Princess" action & the "Avengers" style. It's far from revolutionary. It's more evolutionary. It was meant to have a surreal "Laura Croft" video-game edge to it (which was obviously missing it the cheesy film of the same name). Anyway, a high caliber actor with impelling stage presence would upstage the film IME. In direct contradiction, I site "Planet of the Apes(1969)". There Chuck Heston carried the film as can be witnessed by the apalling sequels.

When I think of Keanu uttering lines like "she's like the air to me" I just cringe. I do like that film, though- the beautiful cinematography and excellent supporting performances (particularly Anthony Quinn and the actor who played the father) make it worth watching.

I mean, come on! A dozen different actors could have played his part in the Matrix--he wasn't the star, the effects were the real star.
"Canoe" is just about the worst actor to have ever made it big in Hollywood, hands down.
