Review of "The Matrix"

Sure it was released in 1999 but I only saw it for the first time recently:

The premise of "The Matrix" is that we are living in a virtual reality world in which our energy is used to maintain AI beings. The only hope in escaping this world comes in the form of computer geeks who learn the secrets to the video game in which we live and Keanu Reeves is the One, or Neo (an anagram of "One" or a fancy way of saying "New").

Now here are the things that make no sense:

1. If Keanu and Co. have such powers in the Matrix world, why would they want to liberate everyone else and live in a world in which they have no power? It's kind of like asking Superman to move back to Krypton, eh?

2. How does Cypher arrange to rat out Morpheus when the moves of the freedom fighters are always being watched back at home base?

3. Is the Matrix kind of like the force?

That said, I liked the movie.
