This movie was what the sci-fi world needed to help set a mark in the entertainment industry. Great freaking moving. I was amazed by the storyline. To this day a lot of people still don't exactly know what the Matrix is. Nor do they fully comprehend the term "Unplugged". As the story behind the movie goes, the Matrix is a computer program plugged into your mind. In the real world humans are actually "asleep" being kept in an isolated container, plugged into the Matrix, while the computers are using these humans as a source of energy. Humans have been turned into batteries so that the machines can survive off their energy. While asleep, the Matrix is plugged into each human to make them think and feel like they are living in the real world. It's all just a dream of what reality used to be. The Matrix is that dream, the program that makes you feel like you are walking, talking, eating an breathing. In order to walk the floors of the real world, you must first "unplug" from the Matrix. When you unplug you separate yourself from the program and wake up from the "dream". Having never used any part of your body, it will feel as if you were just born. Won't be able to walk because the legs were never used before. So you get the concept now. No confusion on the topic. And of course, the "One" which is Neo, is supposed to save the world. Great movie, amazing storyline, everything and more for a sci-fi flick. I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars.
