The Matrix (1999): What Is the Matrix, Five Times Over
My The Matrix 1999 review: the cryptic ads, five trips back to the cinema, the dojo, the subway and the rooftop. Everything about it worked. 5 out of 5.

My Revenge of the Sith review: Vader’s birth is the useful part and Order 66 is interesting, but the rest was average. 3.5 out of 5.
My Attack of the Clones review: slightly better than the last one, with good fights and a story that was a waste of time. 2 out of 5.
My The Phantom Menace review: I queued for the midnight launch and it hurt. Jar Jar, midi-chlorians and a slow plot. 1.2 out of 5.
My Return of the Jedi review: the Ewoks put people off but I loved it, from Han’s rescue to Endor to Vader and the Emperor. Better than Empire for me.
My The Empire Strikes Back review: the Hoth battle, Luke and the wampa, Yoda, Cloud City and Vader’s reveal. One of the darkest endings ever. 10 out of 5.
My Resident Evil Retribution review: good action and some favourite faces back, but nothing much happens and Alice as a mom didn’t work. 2.5 to 3 out of 5.
My Resident Evil Afterlife review: 3D that didn’t work for me, a copout loss of Alice’s powers, but baddies that match the games. 3 to 3.5 out of 5.
My Resident Evil Extinction review: a desert apocalypse, an Alice with no limits and a clone twist. Fun, but not my favourite. 8.0 out of 10.
My Resident Evil Apocalypse review: characters lifted straight from the games, bigger action, a superhero Alice, and a solid 10 out of 10 from me.
My Resident Evil 2002 review: not a direct adaptation of the games, but there’s enough game in it, plus that laser corridor, to score a 10 out of 10.
