    The story of souls across the centuries.
  • The Matrix (1999)
    Review preview for The Matrix

    Visually it is astonishing, not only because of its effects and techno trickery, but cinematically the Wachowskis are so audacious.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 5 out of 5
    Visually dazzling sci-fi thriller. Re-released in 4K restoration.
  • The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
    Review preview for The Matrix Reloaded

    The second in the trilogy is less innovative and more windy in the speechifying department.

    Neo must save the underworld city of Zion from destruction by the machines.
  • The Matrix Revolutions (2003)
    Review preview for The Matrix Revolutions

    The Matrix Trilogy began with such energy and originality... now it seems more like an expensive video game.

    Final instalment of The Matrix Trilogy, in which The Machines attack Zion and Neo fights Smith.
  • Speed Racer (2008)
    Review preview for Speed Racer

    As the shiny roadsters perform death defying stunts to get to the chequered flag, I defy the greenest carphobe not to feel their pulse racing.

    Family values versus corporate dirty tricks in futuristic motor racing spectacular.
