Summary: Was Neo Committing Reverse Abortion?
Review: The Matrix is a kewl movie. Who can dispute that? In the virtual reality genre, it makes a great triple bill with The Thirteenth Floor and Tron. But has anyone noticed that it's about a fetus aborting its mother? Look up the word Matrix in the dictionary. It means womb, or mother. Neo is hooked up to an umbilical cord, that has to be broken if he's to be freed from the matrix. Then he proceeds to destroy the "mother" who nourished him. How Freudian do you have to get when the screenwriter is this obvious?

Summary: The Matrix
Review: The Matrix is a movie about the world being taken over by robots, who have us in a virtual world. The hacker Neo (played by Keanu Reeves) is brought out of the matrix and learns of the real world, and how the people are trying to help everyone out of the matrix. I thought that this was a kick ass movie, and I've gotten all the lines down, I watched it so much. This is the movie that did new things with the camera, and after this movie, almost every movie had a seen in it that was created by this movie. I would suggest this for people who enjoy action, sci-fi type movies.

Summary: Man this is the best film i have ever seen!
Review: The matrix Is a movie full of special effects. It has a very very good story and the actors are brilliant.After watching this dvd for the 34. time i i realised how good it really is. It is far better than any movie that has been released this century.It is even better than the four star wars films released and i cant wait for the next matrix movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ancient themes in a futuristic light
Review: The Matrix is a movie of dazzling special effects and equally high concepts. Unlike many recent action movies it delves deep into themes of truth and illusion, meaning and power, good and evil and much more rather than skimming across their surface. The premise is that a young everyman called Neo discovers that the world he knows is nothing more than an illusion designed to keep humans ignorant of the dark powers that enslave them. Neo must open his eyes to the unpleasant realities of life, confront the dark forces and find a way to awaken everyone else to reality as well.

Strip away the high tech background and you find that this is a very old story, complete with miraculous deeds and healings, sacrificial love, and even resurrection. Perhaps the greatest departure from Matrix's possible inspiration is that Jesus never said "We need guns, lots of guns!"

Still, in the end, the outcome doesn't depend on guns, or kung fu, of any of the other forms of violence that abound here. The creators of matrix use cinematic action to draw the audience in and to build excitement, but they are too wise to suggest that "more guns" is the way evil can ever be defeated.

It works well as escapist action fare, but Matrix is actually much more. Every scene is filled with hidden meanings, and the conclusion is a triumph. It is well worth watching and think about!

Summary: The Matrix ; Good or Awesome !!!
Review: The matrix is a movie that had everything it needed. I thought the best thing about the movie was the kung fu and other martial arts included. Keanu, Carrie, and Lawrence were all very good martial artists. The guy named, Agent Smith, was an excellent actor. The Matix is an awesome movie. After watching this film in the theatre many times, I thought to myself, " I am going to buy this DVD when it comes out!" This is my favorite movie in the world. Everybody should see it and love it. The trench coats and black shades are cool.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Enjoyable but could be better
Review: The Matrix is a movie that is good, but could have been so much better. Essentially they needed a plot that could carry the main point of the movie: show awesome special effects that are not possible in the real world. Main point achieved. This movie has some truly remarkable scenes that left me stunned.

However, good dialogue and plot could have really carried this movie to a whole new level. Without giving away the central idea, the secret of "What is the Matrix?" is silly. There are many reasonable alternatives that could have made the movie more believable and even thought-provoking (I bet you can think of at least three). As it is, whenever people talk, sense they do not make.

See this movie, because it is fun. That said, it was painful for me to watch this movie a second time knowing what it could have been.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!
Review: The Matrix is a movie that is great to own, because you may have to watch it more than once to understand everything. It has hours of interesting extras, including a 30-minute HBO 'Making Of' show and a really cool video about Bullet-Time. I own the DVD and have watched it beginning to end 23 times (No Kidding). It's a great story and very entertaining....Buy it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Take Me To The Matrix
Review: The Matrix is a movie that is in a class of its own. Like a new strain of movie-making. It forces you to keep your eyes glued to the screen to see what will take place next. This movie made me think "what if" all this is true, and I am programmed everyday to do things I normally wouldn't do. Its kind of scary if you think of it. I never get tired of watching this movie. No matter how many times I have seen it before. With its unmatched special effects and grade A acting it's easy to see why "The Matrix" was such a critical as well as a box-office smash.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dynamic and Electrifying effects. Great fight scenes!
Review: The Matrix is a movie that keeps you in awe everytime you see it. A must have for your DVD library, should be a reference DVD for home theater buffs. The effects are jaw dropping. The fight scenes are some of the best ever made! Better than Jet Li's fight scenes in Lethal Weapon 4 but not quite Enter the Dragon material. Bottom line, A must have DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
