If you're not fooled by Keanu Reeves' bad acting and the altogether pointless storyline of the Matrix then you should get this DVD. It is just a superb film, and despite popular views - IT IS BETTER THAN THE MATRIX. The graphics and visual effects are mind-blowing and put some films like Toy Story 2 to shame. This disk is packed full to the brim with the most in depth narration films I have seen on a DVD. There's also a Dreamcast feature which is good. This film is worth more than people say: it is the greatest film I have ever watched and I strongly recommend it.

Advantages: An intriguing plot effectively and intelligently executed; valid and relevant discussion of current ethical issues related to technology; visually striking and with good cast performances. Disadvantages: Will not reward a viewer who is impatient or in need of a very linear narrative; open to charges of repetition of ‘Videodrome’; are the faults a deliberate part of the simulation or just the result of bad filming?
