Summary: truly awesome
Review: This movie has it all. Plain and simple. It's action packed, with mind-boggling special effects, it will satisfy any action fan's appetite. Yet, it has one of the smartest plots I have ever seen in a movie, I feel that it is incredibly under rated. It single-handidly brought Keauno Reeves back from the dead, quite an accomplishment ;-). There isn't a single wasted scene, the movie moves at a breakneck pace and still has great character development. The characters react believably, something that isn't seen all that often anymore. The line that Cipher utters: "I know that this steak isn't real. I know that when i put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my mind that it is delicious and juicy. And after 9 years, you know what i've found out?" he takes a bite, "Ignorance is bliss." perfecly illustrates how many people would act, when faced with the choice between one or the other (im trying not to give anything away here), they would choose the Martix. You have to watch this movie at least twice, the first time through I found myself trying to get a good grasp on the concepts the movie introduces, but after seeing it upwards of 15 times, its as good as it ever was. Very Highly Recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Sci-Fi Ever
Review: This movie has literally blown all other Sci-Fi out of the water. Unlike most Sci-Fi moveis who hide behind special effects, this acompanied with amazing effects also has a thrilling and edge of your seat story line. If you're going to watch only one movie this millennium please make it the Matrix.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Film for Gun lovers. Cultish.
Review: This movie has lots of guns. They have big guns and small guns. I personally like the Matrix better than reality. Lie to me as long as you tell me what I want to hear. What is the point of getting out of a decent fake world to go to a disgustingly horrible real world? Keanu Reeves didn't look all that hot with that awful hair cut.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sci-Fi Action Thriller, Does it get any Better?
Review: This movie has my unqualified recommendation. It has some of the best action, stunts, and visuals I have ever seen. The story is good also. It has good acting by Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne's parts. What is The Matrix? Well, the people who live, in their day in and day-out world, believe it is real. But it isn't real, it is just a mere software program, to shield our eyes from the truth. That software program that we believe is real, is called The Matrix. What is the truth? Well, sometime in the early 21st century, mankind celebrated over their marvel, their creation. AI: Artificial Intelligence. A singular consciousness that spawned a whole new race, of machines. They don't know who struck first, people or the machines. But it was us who blackened the sky, because we believed that without an energy source as abundent as the sun, they would die. The human body generates more bioelectricity than a 120 volt battery, combined with a source of fusion, the machines had found all the energy source they would ever need. So, the machines created fields of endless fields, where humans are no longer "born", we are grown. The machines created a "program" to control the people inside The Matrix. They can do things that seems impossible, like dodge bullets and other things. These "programs" are called Agents. Anyone who has fought an Agent, has died. When The Matrix was first built, there was a man born inside it, who had the ability change whatever he wanted, to remake The Matrix as he so fit. He was the one who set the first humans free to the real world. That man died, but an oracle said that he would return, to free humans from The Matrix, because as long as it exists, humans will never be free. So, Morpheus found Neo, who Morphues believes is "The One". But is he? An action movie at its best, that has stuning action scenes that no one can out do, except for maybe The Matrix Reloaded, the sequel. So go out and rent this movie, for you will not regret it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Nice movie. - A short reality excursion -
Review: This movie has similarities to Terminator, and Terminator 2, where in the future machines have become self-sufficient, and then when their creaters try to pull the plug, the machines stay alive and enslave the human race. The Terminator differs in that the machine (Sky-net), created a nuclear was between Russia and America when their creators tried to pull the plug. This war killed off humans, allowing the machines to stay on, and using surviving humans in the nuclear winter as slaves. A resistance was in effect to free the human slaves from the machine, where the leader, this time, was in the past. The Matrix, on the other hand, having a similar theme to this movie, the humans, I would assume, create a nuclear explosion to create a nuclear winter to block out the sunlight of the machines, as they adapted to solar power. In this respect, Matrix and Terminator are similar, except in Matrix, the human inventors create an explosion to block sun-light, the energy source of the machines, while in Terminator, the machine creates an explosion.

I think Lawrence Fishborne's acting was cool, as in the Event Horizon. The character-plot was cool.

There is another movie similar to this that was made a decade ago, that involved people's minds being placed into a machine for different realities, this time in the context of a psychristic hospital for treatment, I forgot the name of that movie.

I do not like the Eastern Religious content in the movie, the scene from the Oracle, I thought was too indoctrinating and should of been shorter, too much time in the movie was on that. Secondly, I do not like the use of God's name in the movie. Two stars deducted on that.

Three stars, for originality, action, acting, and I had a really great time watching the movie and felt refreshed afterwards, like I travelled somewhere. No movie I watched gave such an effect, except for mabye Star Wars, to that extent. A reality vacation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the best movie ever
Review: This movie has the best graphics, action, actors, and everything else. I have seen this movie five times now and it still hasn't gotten close to being old. If you still haven't seen it your missing one of the best movies of the 90's!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic! Sets new standards well into the 21st Century!
Review: This movie has the best of every action packed sci-fi movie you have ever seen or imagined! Great plot, great effects, great actors, and great directing! Certainly sets the bar higher for all sci-fi/action movies to come! If you buy one DVD in your lifetime....make it this one!!!!
