Rating: Summary: The best movie I have ever seen!!! Review: The Matrix is one of the best movies that I have seen in a long time. I think that Keanu showed some of his acting skills in this movie. THe Watchowski bros did an excelent job of using anime type effects in the movie to give it that feeling that i was just awsome. I loved it. SciFi rules!
Rating: Summary: A Sci-Fi Thriller Review: The Matrix is one of the best sci-fi thrillers I've ever seen. It is a movie that does not sacrifice plot for special effects, as is the case with films loke Lost in Space.The storyline concerns a man named Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) who finds himself hunted down by the Agents, minions of the ruling Agent (Hugo Weaving). He is advised by a mysterious man whom Thomas has never met before to attempt escape as quickly as possible. After being captured in the attempt, Thomas is briefly interrogated, then released. He finally meets Morpheus (Lawrence Kasdan) who is the man who had been advising Thomas. He grants access to the Matrix, a world that possesses total control over Earth. Morpheus is captain of a space ship inside the Matrix. He believes that Thomas is the Chosen One, the One who would defeat the Matrix and liberate Planet Earth from the controlling grasp of the Matrix dimension . . . The Matrix is a visual feast for the eyes, a special effects extravaganza, which is most noticable in the heavy combat scenes. But there is also a good storyline. The film also seems to be trying to make a point. The body cannot live without the mind. The film gets that message across clearly. It also seeks to answer the big question, what is reality? It gives the viewer a lot to think about. All this in an awesome sci-fi setting. An awesome movie. Why the missing star? Because some actors are not as convincing in their roles as others are. 4 stars.
Rating: Summary: The coolest movie of all time Review: The Matrix is one of the coolest movies ever made and one of my favorite films of all time. This is the first DVD I ever bought and i have watched it the most of any. You can watch this film over and over again and it doesn't get old. Near the end of the film it has the greatest action and special effects sequence that I have ever seen in my life(The Shootout and Helicopter scene). The visuals in this film are breathtaking and so totally freakin' awesome. Don't walk...run as fast as you can to the nearest store and buy this DVD, you will not be sorry!
Rating: Summary: Very Cool! Review: The matrix is one of the coolest movies I have ever seen. The special efects are cool. I Liked the martial arts alot. The fight between Neo and Morpheous was the best fighting seen. You have to watch this movie at least twice to understand it fully. This film is defently Keano Reeves best movie next to Speed. I like the way they explain everything in the first half of the movie and then the action picks up. I really wish I could have seen it in the theater. A must see for people who are into technology and action.
Rating: Summary: More than cyber-thrills and spills Review: The Matrix is one of the few movies that I enjoy watching over and over. Each time I view it, I discover something new in the story or scenes. It has a rare and interesting plot, and it appeals to the imagination, emotions and intellect. In this age of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, "e"-everything and cyber-everything, the theme of the movie is a relevant piece of work. A friend of mine said that he does not like the movie because it is "unrealistic" and far-fetched. Well, to those who feel this way, I would like to say that it is, after all, a science-fiction movie, not a science documentary. As a sci-fi movie, it has to go beyond what we normally regard as "realistic" , and The Matrix certainly stretches way beyond those boundaries. This is also one movie which is even the more interesting and mind-blowing when followed with other on-line resources or web information, such as the numerous uncanny Biblical parallels and symbolisms (such as Neo readily sacrificing himself to save humankind from the deception and bondage of a malevolent force, then coming back alive to defeat his foes), as well as analysis of some of the characters and their names. I first watched the movie simply for "eyes-lolly" Keanu as Thomas Anderson, but as I watched the video again, I find the other characters growing on me too, such as Trinity, Morpheus, Tank, and yes! even the 3 agents Smith, Jones and Brown, esp. Agent Smith. All in all, it is a great movie with a good cast, cool, stylish stunts and special effects.
Rating: Summary: SMART, FAST & FUN - "THE MATRIX" HAS IT ALL !!! Review: The Matrix is one of the finest sci-fi action movies to come along in years. This movie successfully combines a gripping, quick paced story, and deep plot with some of the most fantastic imagery and action sequences ever shot. I've seen it twice and could easily watch it with keen interest many more times. In short...if you haven't seen The Matrix, you're missing one of the best movies ever made!
Rating: Summary: SEE THIS MOVIE! Review: The Matrix is one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time. It's has state-of-the art special effects, and eye popping stunts. Although Keanu Reeves' performance is weak, it doesn't matter with a great story. So that's why I give this 5 stars.
Rating: Summary: Difficult to describe the greatness of this movie Review: The Matrix is one of the most brilliant, mind-blowing, heart-stopping sci-fi movies of all time. The special effects, sound, and action sequences are so spectacular that they move you and absorb you all at once. The four Oscars this movie won for special effects, sound editing, and other technical achievements were well deserved. This movie will take your breath away and stimulate the facets of your mind to twist in ways you've never imagined. What happens when Neo takes the red pill and tumbles down the rabbit hole? Watch this film and you won't be disappointed.
Rating: Summary: The Matrix Review: The Matrix is one of the most eye-opening, electrifyingly original movies to hit the big screen in years with Keanu Reeves finally bringing a touch of respectability to the much-maligned virtual reality genre.
Rating: Summary: An Important Film Review: The Matrix is one of the most important films ever made. It speaks to all of us who are struggling to stay awake in on going nightmare. At stake is our free will. The future of mankind is at a pivotal moment. We have the choice to return to the comfort of the womb and pretend that all is okay. Or we can stay awake and risk our destruction. Even before Plato's "Alegory of the Cave" some men and women have been aware of this great struggle. But now the Matrix makes it even more pressing. I love this movie, and its message. I highly recommend it to all thinking people who have felt the splinter in the mind.
