Summary: The Matrix
Review: REVIER'S NOTE: My son wrote the following review and this was done before Amazon had a kid's review form. Bear in mind this review was written by a 12 year old in a good mood:

All I have to say is.. this movie rocks.. No, not the special effects (But they rock too..) It's the philosiphy of the movie. People either get this movie, or dont get it. I get it so much that sometimes I think the world really IS the matrix.

Anyway, the way the story goes is that there's a hacker named Neo who starts to get messages on his computer telling him wierd stuff, which causes him to go to a club and He sees a lady hacker (known as Trinity) who tells him some stuff and about another hacker named Morpheus. Anyway, Neo asks Morpheus his life long question, "What is the Matrix?" He then learns about the Matrix being a fake world where everone is a slave. The bad guys in the Matrix are AI's disguised as, get this, Feds! Hehehehehehehe...

If this movie was rated on a scale of 0 to 10, it would hit a 72..I love this movie...but..where we go from there, is a choice I leave to you...

Summary: Inexplicable, chaotic, edgy, pulls you in and freaks you out
Review: Saw it on the big screen and have ordered the dvd. It is a mind-blowing thrill ride into a world that is not so far-fetched from reality given the technologies today and in the near future. It exudes intelligence, doesn't tease or ridicule and allows you to get away from life as you know it for a couple of hours. Special effects are the best I have ever seen. A well put together cast and story. A must see for any adult..."gamers" will walk away twitching and have bad dreams for a month! Incredible camera work and the feel of the sets are so real, dark and mysterious. Big brother of the future meets billy bad-*** hacker! See who wins!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Sci Movie I've Seen in Years
Review: Saw it three times in the theatre - something I've never done before

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: After 4 visits to the theatre I required the DVD...
Review: Saw the movie 4 times in the theatre, seeing new things all the time. Bought the DVD and that made me decide to buy a widescreen TV as well. This movie is probably the most entertaining movie I've seen sofar, and I've seen a gazilion. TIP: Also buy eXistenZ, same theme more cult, same fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What's Not To Like
Review: Saw this movie again last night and still get blown away with the FX. Recommend viewing the movie via commentary to get some insight into certain scenes such as the opening scene where Trinity jumps from one building to another, doing a spiral move in the process. There was a CGI enhancement to that move that you don't realize unless you listen to the commentary and then go back and review it frame-by-frame to see exactly what they are references. I'm ready for Matrix II.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a shocking adventure into the unknown world we live in
Review: saw this with my dad on dvd
I had my jaw dropping by the end
it's such a powerful movie
not only does the cast work
but they add depth to every character
Hugo Weaving is a brilliant bad guy
Keanu Reeves is brilliant in his role
and so on and so forth
I loved the action
the slight romance starting to fall in place
the whole synopsis
the red pill and blue pill scene
the effects
just everything about it
I love this that I have on dvd
It's so great that I could watch it again and again and again and go
"that was amazing" every time. I've watched it 8 times on dvd already.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Like this needs another review...
Review: Say what you will about Keanu Reeves, but he's certainly getting better at picking vehicles for his "acting" talents. Also to his credit is the fact that only once was I reminded of his character from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Trust me, that's an improvement. This is Reeves at his best - standing there and looking pretty while the action happens around him.

There are a few themes that films can use that (in my mind, at least) almost always work well. The Matrix manages to touch on two of them: the fight for freedom and overcoming fear. Wrap that around a slick sci-fi core with some eye-popping effects and you've got something that can keep me in my seat and smiling for a couple of hours. Simply put, the movie just oozes cool. And that's a good thing. Hey, it worked great for The Fifth Element.

Overall, The Matrix is at its best delivering the stereotyped Hong Kong style action, but its the surrounding script and Reeves's supporting cast that make this a memorable flick. Laurence Fishburne gives a great, no-nonsense performance as Morpheus, the leader/father of a group of futuristic freedom fighters. My vote for the best performance in this one, though, has to go to the small role of the Oracle, brought to life by Gloria Foster. It's a small but pivotal role that could have easily turned into the loose thread that pulled this movie apart. Foster's performance makes sure this one stays tied together. Hers is the hingepin scene in this movie, and the writing held everything together (remember, "there is no spoon").

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome edge-of-your-seat thriller. A must see!!!
Review: ScFi breakthrough with a plot that won't let you get up from your seat and go to the bathroom. A must see for any visual arts enthusiastics. Revealing too much of this movie, or just trying to reveil the whole concept would be an injustice to the writers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: had to see this flick more than once
Review: sci-fi at it's best, waiting for the sequel. movie goes to show we can not be limited we think and the way we live. Go Mr. Reeves we are all waiting.......
