Thanks Kriskross for an entertaining grid with a lovely theme commemorating the 27th anniversary of the cult movie “The Matrix” which was released on March 31st 1999. It was great to have a tribute grid with very enjoyable clues that were accessible to even those who didnt know the theme. The solvers ratings and the comments in the thread below speak for the quality of this total entertainer.
