Rating: Summary: A definate cult classic! Review: This is a truly original, clever masterpiece of a film. 'The Matrix' mixes sci-fi with surreal fantasy and is a brilliant action thriller also. There are plans for 2 more films to be made but I think this will be the best as it's the original story. Not many people will hate this film, although it can be confusing in places.
Rating: Summary: Good Movie + Amazing Bonuses = Must Buy Review: This is a very cool movie, but not necessarily something I would want to see too many times. However, all the extra features in this DVD are very cool. It really adds to the life of the movie. It defintaley makes this DVD worth it.
Rating: Summary: cool effects, bad plot Review: this is a very cool movie, fun to watch and i love keanu reeves. i also love sci-fi flicks so why did i give the matrix only 4 stars? the plot was stupid and lacking just about everything. not fulfilling in the way of a story at all. but dispite all this the special effects are the best i've ever seen and the matrix remains on my amazon.com wish list.
Rating: Summary: Great film for your eyes and mind. Review: This is a very fun film, that mends action with philosophical concepts and religious symbolism. The film is fun to watch just because it has some very cool action scenes that are pleasurable for the eyes. Yet there exists a more intellectual depth for your mind. What makes it great is that, upon viewing it multiple times, you get more out of it. You discover different themes and messages, every person gets something different out of it. There are many interpretations and views you can arrive at. The characters are great, the best being Morpheus and Agent Smith. The character of Neo as a doubting Thomas-Christ figure is played out well. And it is very pleasing to see a female action star that is not put on the screen just to showcase sexuality, but who is tough and can take care of herself. Watch for the "Night of the Lepus" clip, and BULLET TIME special effects (that every new movie copies). 5 Stars. Check it out.
Rating: Summary: Hyped? Review: This is a very good movie which also has a very intruiging plot. But it really is not the best of them out there. It sets some very interesting points to think about but don't take it too serious, if you do you'll spoil the whole movie because when you are using some serious logic you'll find a lot of flaws. However; this movie is still very entertaining and the DVD is one of the best around. A very interesting feature of this DVD is 'follow the white rabbit'. Simply watch the movie as you normally would but whenever you see a white rabbit appear you can quickly press a button and you will be presented with an in depth explanation of how they made the scene you just saw. Now the "rumour" circuit has it that there is a sequal coming, which also means that the price of the first will drop. This is the best time to get the movie.
Rating: Summary: Very good sci-fi, needed more action, and more of a plot Review: This is a very good Sci-fi movie, but it takes forever to get to some action. Neo:He is what Morpheus and the others, belive is the one. He is just a normal guy, that works, but the agents want him for some reason. When he decides to join Morpheus and his gang, he realizes how hard, strange, difficult, and unbeliveble the truth can be. Morpheus:He has been serching all his life for Neo, whom he belives is the one. He is the leader of a crew that goes up agenst the odds in the real world and the vurtual world. Altho he's doinf quite good, his crew keeps on dying to agents, in the computer world. But the crutial question is this: is Neo really the one? It took a real long time for me to get into the movie. This movie really didn't have a plot, and it took so long to finally see some action, which was why I gave the movie 4 stars for starting slow, but ending with a bang. If you love sci-fi, then by all means, check this out, but if you love action, just expect to sit through the first hour, whaching nothing but talking.
Rating: Summary: Wierd! Review: This is a very strange movie. Some people i've spoke to, after seeing this movie, something 'clicked'..they walked out of the cinema in awe, and looked at the world in a different way for weeks..the movie had a massive impact, on many levels.
Others, came out saying..hmm, it was an ok sci-fi movie, good FX/action etc. If it 'clicked' with you, you know exactly what i'm talking about..but i really can't understand why this happened to some, and not others. Does anyone know what i'm talking about. Or am i insane?
Rating: Summary: A Must See Review: This is a very stunning movie, that is worth seeing simply for the sake of it. It is one of a kind, a thought provoking original that will impress all with its intricate, well developed plot. I dont believe anybody can say this movie deserves less than 4 stars, those who do seem to be incabable of rational and logical thought, which renders them unable to understand and enjoy the movie. Ignore bad reviews, do yourself a favour and see "THE MATRIX", you will not regret it... It is an awsome movie amid a current generation of ordinary ones.
Rating: Summary: Not only for the action Review: This is a very, very well put together and interest grabber movie. I liked this movie not only for the action, but for the plot also. "What is real" and "Free you mind" are both mind-triping thoughts. Most defenitlly a movie to buy.
Rating: Summary: Attention to detail Review: This is absolutely one of my favorite movies of all times. The acting is incredible (e.g. the way the agents talk -- very slowly and sort of pompous -- is very appropriate). The costumes are very well designed, the colors are matched well especially in the scene when Keanu R. is in the corner office trying to escape from the agents -- the color of the walls, the suit, the tie... I also like how well the oracle plays her role, her facial movements communicate well what she is saying. The list goes on and on... The people behind this movie knows what attention to detail means. I think I'll see it a third time before I return the video to the store... P.s. And don't forget the to check out the soundrack too!! ;)
