Summary: A consuming movie that transends all other Sci/Fi material!!
Review: There was nothing that this movie showed that did not move me! The key is to understanding the concept and having an imagination (some people lack the ability to think beneath the cerebrum). When you enter this realm ot thought the movie opens up fanthoms of enjoyment and excitement. Thanks to the movie industry for giving us a movie that finally makes us think and enjoy at the same time!!!!

Summary: Not the best movie ever, but close.
Review: There's no denying the huge significance of this George Orwell-inspired movie. It is probably the best movie of 1999 (perhaps exceeded only by Star Wars). Of course, it will be one of the ultimate classics of the 90's. However, claiming that The Matrix is the best movie ever is a little farfetched. It is probably better than Rocky, A Clockwork Orange and Dances With Wolves. But is it better than Singin' In the Rain, It's A Wonderful Life and Gone With the Wind? That question is for you to answer. However, I personally believe that it is not. Nevertheless, I love the picture and plan to see it at least ten times within three years. Looking forward to part II and III...

Summary: It's all been said already....
Review: There's not much left to say about this movie that hasn't already been said, so I'll just say what I love so much about this movie, specifically the DVD.1)The sound! The sound effects in this movie absolutely raise the bar for any action or sci-fi movie from here on out. My personal favorite is the shell casings, in EVERY scene they are absolutely crystal clear and really bring home the impact of the different gun battles. 2)The effects! Similar to the sound, there will be a new genre of special effects spawning from what they came up with for this movie (there's already evidence of this out there, anyone see the preview for the new IMAX Michael Jordan movie?). On the whole the story is great, with some minor flaws in the logic behind the matrix that I won't bother with because this movie absolutely ROCKS. Go out and buy a worthy surround sound setup, *get this DVD* and turn it up loud enough to bother the neighbors... 'nuff said.

Summary: Can I Get My Money Back?
Review: There's very little I can say about the movie that I liked, but I'll try. You know that great black leather outfit she wears at the beginning of the movie? I'd kill to look like that. Okay - now the rest... I didn't like this movie. While the special effects are good, where was the story? Give me "The Green Mile" any and every day. Okay - I hated it.

Summary: FX movie with no plot
Review: Theres no denieing the fact that somebody came up with a few new speichel effects and decided to quickly rush them into a movie. Apart from the effects which have been copeied and done to death so many times since this movie, this movie has absolutly no plot, no intrest, no point, and if this movie did not have the SFX shots that it does, no body would even have known what this movie was, except for the Keenu Reeve fans. Purchase all 3 if you want to see some stunning visual FX but all based around a completly pointless, or, IF ANY plot at all. If the movie had plot ideas, it could have been somthing, but its highly given credit to, when every one cant denie its just the SFX that people are stunned by, not the plot.... watch the intro to that Olsen twins show if you wanna see the SFX from this movie! Bottem line; Take away the FX, you have a bad movie!

Summary: the best of the Trilogy
Review: They should of just done this one cause it is the best and one of thegreatest movies of all time, if you don't know it stars Keanu Reeves as Neo or Thomas Anderson, carrie ann moss as Trinity, Hugo weaving as Agent Smith, and Lawrence Fishburne as Morpheus who is like a spiritual leader or some sh-T. This movie has great fight scenes like the one in the lobby with all the guns n sh-t. The whole movie is great and I'm glad when Mouse and them others die cause they are annoying.
the action is fantstatic and the whole movie is great. watch for a good movie

Summary: What is the Matrix?
Review: Think that the reality is a dream - this thought follows Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves). Thomas lives in a double life, at day he's a employee at a big computer company, at night he's the hacker Neo. A day Neo wakes up by someone who is contacing him via the computer. Right after that Neo gets arrested. Agent Smith looks at the young computer expert as a treath, and Neo gets even more confused. First when he meets Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), the picture becomes clearer. I love this movie becouse of the amazing special effects and the really good story. You just have to see this movie! I would recommend buying the movie on DVD that is if you got a DVD. Becouse there you can watch Interviews and documentary about the special effects. Very Best Regards Yngve Elde

Summary: Genious
Review: This 1999 movie, the Matrix, would be in the top two of my favorite movies. The special effects were great for example a time when Neo, the main character is shot by 5 bullets. He sticks out a hand and the bullets drop. The actors and actresses were also great. Its hard to imagine The Matrix II will be better than the Matrix I. As a matter of fact its hard to imagine any movie being better than this. The main plot is about people in a dream world of the truth while the people like us do not believe our dreams are nothing but our thoughts. You really start to believe in your dreams like they our real. This movie is given the "R" rating. When you watch this movie you will think in should have been rated PG-13. I truely believe it was right to have the R rating. This is because the movie is extremely hard to understand. My 7 year old brother saw half of this movie. He loved the effects but did not understand the plot at all. The ages for this movie I would say is mature 8 year olds and up. If you like science fiction see this motion picture.

Summary: Good, but stick to the Original
Review: This a descent movie, and one of the few "remakes" that actually gives the original a run for its money. This movie is obviously based on "Dark City." "The Matrix" has more special effects than "Dark City," but the plot is basically the same. A man learns that the life he has known is a farce and that the entire world is being run by a higher sentenance. As he learns more and more about the world, he is being hunted by those that want to keep the status quo. While "The Matrix" stands on its own two legs, so to speak, the legs are different than the original. "The Matrix" leans heavily on spectacular effects and a decent plot, "Dark City" relies on strong acting and plotline. "The Matrix" is a great movie that you don't have to think very hard to follow, and "Dark City" is a superb movie you have to pay close attention to in order to follow. I recommend both with "Dark City ranked as a "5."
