Summary: reminded me of mangas movies...it's great!
Review: When I saw this film for the first time, I knew I had to see it another time. The action is breathtaking, you can't even keep up with it. It's a breakthru technology in film making, and i think that movies should be made this way from now on. The idea, the mood, the action scenes..all reminded me of mangas cartoons, akira and the others, with the futuristic, mindblowing story... Great movie!

Summary: "Star Wars" of our generation
Review: When I saw this film some while back, I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect nearly what I got. I thought Keanu would be doing the "Bill and Ted" thing, and I expected the plot to be nothing more than two hours of music video montage. I was wrong.Keanu was good. He didn't play a typical role for him. Usually he's either the clear-cut razor-sharp hero or the mushy romantic. In this film he is the reluctant hero, which he played very well. He lost some weight for the role and is quite skinny. Overall I was very pleased with Keanu's performance and I look forward to him coming out with some other good films. Otherwise, the acting was superb from Fishbourne and others. The story is wonderful. It's well thought out, intriguing, timely, original, and is not the least bit porous. It has left me waiting impatiently for the next in the series. This movie broke all paradigms with special effects. They actually invented new technology to meet the needs of filming. You will see things that you have never seen before. The DVD itself is remarkable. There are numerous bonus features contained on the disk, making it a very worthwhile purchase. Lastly, I called this film the "Star Wars" of our generation. I believe this for several reasons. Like "Star Wars", "The Matrix" wowed us with new technology and a complex storyline that makes you believe that these characters and their world are real. The trilogy aspect is also recognizant of SW, and of course the religious undertones of both films are there if you look. Finally, SW was released when America was excited about space travel and exploration - it was timely. Similarly, "The Matrix" is released during a time of interest in the computer age, specifically artificial intelligence. This is a DVD that you must buy. It will be a classic twenty years from now.

Summary: The best action movie ever made
Review: When I saw this in the theatre, I found I was hardly able to breathe through the whole movie. The plot is fantastic, the action sequences some of the most impressive ever put on film... The DVD only gets better, with commentary by the director, commentary by the composer, and many short features on making different parts of The Matrix including a short documetary on making the "camera rotating around a subject" efffects that clearly shows how they are done and also does a great job of explaining the implications of just what such a filming technique can mean to a producer. This isn't just the movie to buy a DVD player for. This is the movie that will make me buy a second player just in case the first one breaks down, and prevents me from a moment when I might be without The Matrix.

Summary: Mind blowing sci-fi action
Review: When i saw this in theaters i was blown away. this is one of the most inovative movies of any genre to come out in years. The Wachoskis are a talent to keep an eye on, they do a great job directing this masterpiece. The story contains many allusions to Jesus and Buddha and all that which is cool. In addition i liked the whole "what is reality" type theme. If u know anything about Eastern religion u know where they got that whole idea. As for Keanu, this is the role he was born to play for chris sake!! He does not have to talk and he looks good while kicking and shooting all the bad guys. The action is obviosly Hong Kong borrowed. IN intereviews the Wachoskies say they look Jet LI and John WOo movies, and when u watch the lobby shootout and the martial arts it shows. By the way, the action scenes, especially a jaw-dropping lobby shootout, are visually stunning!! This movie is brilliant and can be watched thousands of times. THE VE IS AMAZING!!

Summary: The best movie in the world
Review: When I saw this movie for the first time I was shocked. I couldn't believe that some man could do such a great thing. I have seen this film in the cinema for three times and then I bought a cassete and watched it at least 10 times before I got satisfied just a little and could think about anything else accept this film. It's ideas are just great and the film is worth watching it for several times. I hope you will like it the way I do it now.

Summary: A Digital Treat for Home Theater System
Review: When I saw this movie in the theater, I was blown away - great story, tense action, super-cool villian (thank you Hugo Weaving!), and awesome sfx. I knew I had to have this on DVD. I wasn't disappointed. Running this disk through a DTS home theater system at a decent volume scared my neighbors. The fight sequence in the Federal Building alone made me wonder if the police might show up at my door. Great movie and best DVD for "wowing" your friends with those old VCRs!

Summary: THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!
Review: when i walked out of the movie, i was thinking to myself:"why can't movies be as good as this". the matrix brings everything action,horror,romance, even a little bit of comedy from keanu(his acting!). the DVD is action packed with many special features. I have the special revisted DVD which i highly recommend to pick up because of its very in depth stuff. so overall, matrix is the best movie to date,PERIOD!

Summary: A different sci-fi movie,,,,
Review: When I was taken by my friends to see this movie, I thought 'another boring american rambo type movie',,,however I honestly enjoyed it !!....I think the key of this movie is the argument, I mean you get immediately hooked when you think about 'reality'...what is reality anyway ??,,,this is what grabes you into the movie !!,,it is like reading the first book of Carlos Castaneda,,,you know the story is based on some kind of fiction, however the thesis, the idea, the core of the work is something else, and then if you add great special effects, action and some fine moments like the one in which she could confirm he was the one,,,then you end up with a new thing,,this is what's made this movie a huge success and I am sure it will mark a new 'style' to sci-fi movies.

Summary: Visually stunning, but Keanu still can't act.
Review: When I went and first saw Jurassic Park for the first time, did I care about the plot line - no. Did I care about the silly lines and the traditional use of scare tactics - absolutely not. I went to see that movie to see the dinosaurs, and I wasn't disappointed. Such was my feeling when I saw The Matrix. One should not see a Keanu Reeves movie and except superior acting. One should expect action and suspense and awesome special effects. This movie did not disappoint, and the DVD version showcased each effect superbly. I especially enjoyed the "white rabbit" feature (buy it and you'll know what I'm talking about!). Those who are looking for incredible, state-of-the-art special effects and great action and martial arts sequences - and nothing more - will be more than pleased.
