Summary: The Film that DVD was made for
Review: There isn't much to say about the Matrix that hasn't been said already. The Follow the White Rabbit feature is the most endearing part of the film....personally I can't wait for the two sequals to be made and released.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If you don't like Keanu. Don't see this film!
Review: There seems to be a deep hatred felt for Keanu Reeves. Every actor has his good and bad movies and Keanu is no different. Yet people rushed to the cinemas to watch and hate this film because of the man. This film is excellent. Nicely written and acted by all. One of the few films made these days where the effects serve the story and not the other way round. So, if you don't like Keanu, don't see the film and spare us the complaints.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite movie of 1999
Review: There was a reason that The Matrix won all the Oscars for special effects and sound over Star Wars: Episode 1. They were revolutionary. How many movies since The Matrix have you seen similar effects shots being used, a lot. I did like Episode 1 to, but the Matrix did all its effects with live actors which makes it that more impressive.

The story is just great. It really makes you wonder about reality, but its more entertaining than anything. Its hard to get bored of this movie, I have seen it many times now and i still could go see it again and enjoy it. Definetly worth adding to your dvd collection.

There are also some neat special addons to this dvd, showing how they did a lot of the special effects in the movie, it is really interesting.

Rating: 5 stars
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!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
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...

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 1 stars
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.

Rating: 1 stars
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!

Rating: 5 stars
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


Rating: 1 stars
