About this movie

"The Most Eye-Popping & Imaginative Movie of the Year." - Gannett. Breaking box office records as the biggest Easter opening ever, this special effects-driven tale follows Keanu Reeves ("Speed," "Devil's Advocate") and Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy-nominee Laurence Fishburne ("What's Love Got to Do with It?") on an explosive futuristic sci-fi adventure about a man who comes to believe that his everyday world is the product of a complex computer-driven digital matrix that feeds on humans. In his dangerous quest to find out the truth, he must figure out who is real and who he can trust. From the producer of the top boxoffice franchise, "Lethal Weapon." "...one of the most visually dazzling and surrealistically plotted sci-fi films ever made." - Mr. Showbiz MPAA Rating: R © 1999 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved

This film has been remastered TWICE since release and Google are still rocking stereo audio! On top of this if you look closely at this "HD" file you'll actually see poor quality pixelated upscaling (especially on the edges of the Warner Bros logo at the start) suggesting this is a stretched 720p or lower res file. However we know what Google will do, instead of updating this embarrassing file they'll make us buy the 4K Remastered trilogy AGAIN when/if it becomes available. Still a 5 star movie.

Amazed it's taken Google 3 years to list the HD version of this film, disappointed that it's still 2 channel stereo only. Considering it's pricing Google really ought to have a discussion with it's partners about the minimum acceptable quality of movie content originally released over a decade ago on DVD with 5.1 channel audio. It'd be slightly annoying if this movie was an outlier but the reality is that Google's catalogue is repleat with these issues.

Why are people so in love with this movie, its very famous but in all hounesty, I didnt enjoy it that much. I found it rather boring. Sure, special effects are good for a film made back then, but thats pretty much it..
