Summary: Kung fu fighting!
Review: The most overrated film in recent memory makes its debut on video. Big deal! Sets are stolen from "Metropolis", "Brazil" and "2001". Script is stolen from Hindu scripture. Acting is stolen from "The Pretentious School of Something Important is Going On Here, Ha Ha." And Keanu Reeves is the worst actor ever to appear on film, besides also-rans like Martin Milner. The only exhilarating moment of this ponderous, stupid movie is when the Oracle (oh, what a surprise, she's a cookie-baking, cigarette-smoking blue-collar woman) tells Keanu, "You're cuter than I thought," and then, a moment later, "You're not too bright." I wasted two hours of my life with this movie and am spending another five minutes to warn others to STAY AWAY!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The major disappointment.
Review: The most pretentious, tasteless and pseudo-meaningful movie I've seen.I can explain it's success only by the lack of something better. If it was to be released in the summer of 1997 it would be no match to The Fifth Element,Men In Black and Face\Off.

The plot is a total patchwork of "Zen Made Simple" and "Aliens Rule The Earth" brochures. What is The Matrix? - is the most annoying and stupid question with nothing behind it. The fighting sequences are pathetic. Of course I know that the Chinese martial artists train from 2-3 year old and Keanu Reeves had only 2-3 months to learn the moves but does it mean we have to appreciate his laughable efforts?

Laughable is the key word if you want to survive this pure gem of bad taste and intellectual inferioriity. My favourite scene takes place in a car where two ladies forcefully extract the slimy insect from Keanu's navel. They use the strange gadget probably obtained from the nearest sex-shop and poor guy looks as if he is afraid of being castrated right on spot. And for the first few seconds the ladies do nothing to dispel his fears. It's so delightfully stupid!

The costume design is just horrendous. Do they really think that black leather and black glasses make it's wearer stylish no matter what they say and do?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: to you like to see the world in different way
Review: the movie "the matrix" makes the person who watches see the world in a different way and a guess about the future of the world.
The movie is about the people who take one person from the digital world to the real world and he discovers that he is not a normal man.
The acting was real and the special effects were amazing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: IS WAS A GREAT MOVIE
Review: THE MOVIE GAVE A LOT OF INSIGHT OF THE FUTURE THE BEST MOVIE THAT I SEEN SO FAR

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A very hip, action packed sci-fi thriller!
Review: The movie in the theaters was a totally new experience. Within the first half hour I thought this movie was going to be one of the worst I'd ever seen, but as it progressed and everything started to make sense, it turned out to be one of the best action/sci-fi movies I've ever seen. The DVD is packed with behind the scenes clips, music only track, commentary track, and scenes that show how they created the special effects. This movie is only the beginning of what future action/sci-fi movies will bring us in the new millenium.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Inter-Dimensional Travel.
Review: The movie is aptly named. The Matrix (or rather the Transposition Matrix) allows you to move from one Frame of Reference (as in Einstein's Theory of Relativity) to another, where each Frame of Reference is considered to be a Vector. The special effects are superb and the story-line was generally good - there was sufficient unpredictabilty that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the movie. The only thing that I could not quite comprehend, was how a taking red pill would allow a person to transpose from one Frame of Reference to another, or why one Frame of Reference would be considered "real" and the other "unreal" and why it was necessary to annihilate the Matrix. The movie forces the viewer to accept the assumption that one Frame of Reference is not real and that the Matrix should be annihilated. I gave it a four star rating because while it was thrilling and exciting - I felt a bit more could have been done with regards to the science-fiction portion of the movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: EXCEPTIONAL
Review: The movie is good, I give it that but it's true, some of the DVD copies or all, do have bugs in them. Some might freeze up in the chapters, or just not play the whole movie. My guess is wait for the 2nd Region of Matrix DVD copies to come out. The bugs should be worked out by then....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie I ever saw
Review: The movie is great I liked it alot i saw it about 20 times and each time I enjoyed it even more. The movie is just great and the actors are great to I totally loved keanu reevas.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie, great effects and lots of options on the DVD
Review: The movie is great to begin with, it's even better on the DVD because of all the options. Two red piles, one white rabbit and behind the scene footage. The down side is that the movie is only in english. They should put french or spanish on a DVD before taking the space for a music only track. Other wise the DVD is great and the commentary also. I bought it this morning and watched it 3 times already.

Summary: The widescreen version of: The Matrix
Review: The movie is great, my problem is that with all the technology of today why don't they do like VHS movies and format the screen. Maybe some of you actually like it in widescreen. I don't. You should be able to buy a DVD movie in full screen version.
