Rating: Summary: First-rate pick Review: This movie happens to be one of my favorites. The DVD makes it an excellent addition to the home theatre, or even the PC community with its special features. Definitely worth the money. Note: This DVD has minor problems on certain players. There are a few sections that myteriously play themselves twice over. Overall, it's not a problem. The repeating scenes are good ones, after all.
Rating: Summary: The Epitome of Cool Review: This movie has a great cast, great cosutmes, cutting edge action, original storyline and it's just plain cool. The leather duds, flying kicks and black glasses have brought back the popularity of the trench coat, brought back appreciation for kung fu movies and sent the sunglass revolution on a spinning craze. The script is quite clever that to this day I still find it mind-boggling. It has definitely sparked after-movie discussions because I've had to ask my more intellectual friends to explain it to me. I am glad that it decided to throw in action sequences which suited the less brainy audiences. All around a novel concenpt and should have just stopped right here. The following sequels seemed somewhat of a disappointment. As you were expecting each sequel to become more novel and orginal, it had to come to deal with teh reality of the Matrix in the fight of humans aginst the machines. It was better to have left you wondering and thinking "what-if". My favorite characters, by far, are the agents. In their secret-service like manner to be anti-cool, they were very cool and just as lethal as the rebels. "Find them and Destroy Them" is one of my favorite lines followe dby an agent slowly bringing his hand to his ear piece. A neat film. Conceptually confusing at times, but the action more than makes up for it.

Rating: Summary: Lot of fighting, fashion, flair, flaws Review: This movie has basic flaws in its premise, but if you overlook them (or don't notice them, like most people) there's a lot of great action and style. The DVD version is great, with cool menus, extras, etc.
Rating: Summary: A comment on the commentary of a 5 star film. Review: This movie has been reviewed to death, but I wanted to comment on the commentary included with the DVD edition. First let me say that this in one of my all time favorite sci-fi flicks right up there with Alien, Dune, Blade Runner. The commentary is however, the absolute worst I have ever heard. The director runs out of interesting stuff to say. Carrie-Anne Moss had the most interesting things to say, but you hear from her only briefly in the beginning of the film and then at the end. She said nothing during the whole middle of the film. Possibly she was intimidated by the special effect supervisor which had the most to say, but fell into such deep special effects lingo that, as a layman, I could only understand about 1 in 3 words. Plus his black humor was out of place and put me off. A ground breaking film in terms of special effects I think should have a 5 star commentary as well. A redeeming feature of this DVD edition is the mini-featurettes that are included.
Rating: Summary: In my opinion, the best action movie ever! Review: This movie has everything and action movie fan could want. Lots of guns, special effects, explosions, lots of fighting, good acting, and dare I say a good plot. It puts an interesting prospective on our world and it puts a new demension to action movies. It's just cool how they can run up walls, and dodge bullets. If you like action with a good plot, then get this movie!
Rating: Summary: GOD, I LuV THIS MOVIE! Review: This movie has EVERYTHING! Not only is it the best movie to own at home THIS YEAR, it's one of the best purchases you'll ever make. If you've never seen it before, you will love it. The re-watch value is incredible. Consider the fact that I saw the movie 19 times in theaters before buying it, and the fact that I still watch it a good 3 times a week. I especially enjoy the performances by the great Laurence Fishbourn as Morpheus and the gentlemen who plays Agent Smith (I said I wathc the movie alot, not the credits:). I don't need to say anymore about the movie, because you probably heard it before. I am disappointed by the behind-the-scenes extra, however. It answers the question of how they created the wonderful scenes, but it's really cheap looking, and there's no interviews with the stars. Still, BUY IT! You will not regret it at all.
Rating: Summary: Outstanding sci-fi drama you MUST experience on DVD! Review: This movie has everything! Suspense, drama, a great story line and special effects that will have you jumping in your seat!
Rating: Summary: A instant classic !!! Review: This movie has everything!, Kung fu, lots of guns, sci fi and most important; a cerebral plot. The acting was fine, especialy Carrie Ann Moss, her character trinity is the ultimate female action hero, very tough but very sensible too. The production design and the special effects are terrific!!, And the dvd has a great image and sound. This movie is far better than Episode 1.
