Summary: The Matrix
Review: I love the visual effect in this movie

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well Written, Acted, and Produced
Review: This is one of the best Science Fiction videos I have seen. The effects are stunning, but not overdone (in most cases). Perhaps the best effect in the movie is how they managed to mask all of Reeves' poor acting...he actually is bearable in this film! The story line is straightforward, and is blisfully absent of the 42 plot twists that most movies these days seem to feel are necessary. The only complaint I have about the movie is the over-the-top violence. I am not squeamish by any means, but a couple of sceenes in the movie left me wondering, 'WHY?' The DVD has the added 'follow the white rabbit' feature which allows you to see how a certain effect was done while in the movie. When you see the white rabbit, click it, or press ENTER on your remote to see how the effect was produced...wonderful!

Summary: A rather intriguing film with mind-bending special effects
Review: This film blew my mind. My first impression was an overly-hyped special-effects ridden, money-driven movie. What I got was an awesome tour-de-force of special effects action and one of the most engaging fighting sequences of all time. The writing is not the greatest, I agree, but it seems fitting at times for the film. I also thought that Lawrence Fishburne as Morpheus was a perfect cast (and they were going to cast Val Kilmer.) Carrie Ann Moss was awesome in her role along with whoever the actor was who played the head Agent. Overly-violent at times it still has some scenes that will stick with you for a long-time. The Matrix is one of those movies that'll have you questioning your reality at film's end. The Matrix is a gripping thriller with awe-inspiring special effects that is sure to become a cult classic and will be enjoyed for years to come.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Blade Runner is better.
Review: Ok it had good effects but in a couple of years they will be obsolete the scene when the helicopter crashes with the building if it happened for real if wouldn't look like a circle of water so that was not well done and also the scene when the lobby is full of fire that fire looks like water I must admit that it did had some great action scenes but a soso script and keanu reeves can't act but the agent and Mr. Fishburne saved the movie still blade runner is better

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Best Movie I have Ever Seen
Review: This was a horrible movie. It wasn't exciting until the last 30 minutes and even then I didn't jump off my seat. Most of the things I didn't even get. Making a trilogy out of the Matrix is a horrible idea.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Elegant Movie
Review: As you have probably guessed by the title of this review, I am not a 15 year old boy. Although there are aspects of this movies that I can certainly grasp as being quite as appealing to a teenaged kid as to me, I am an adult and to prove it, here is a fact: I watched "Bladerunner" the FIRST time it came out. "The Matrix" has the same kind of sensibility. What I am trying to say is that in both cases the viewer must accept a complete vision of a world that has been captured extremely stylishly by the directors. This has been sucessfully done in both cases, in my opinion, and if you are a sci fi freak, or even just a regular movie lover, make room for this unusally smoothly directed and acted video in your library. If you are female, Keanu Reeves will get you through the few slow parts(even when he has the really short hair), and if you are male, you'd have to be nuts not to find Carrie-Anne Moss appealing in her vinyl full body suit. As a team, they are great when they set off to rescue Laurence Fishburne. No holds barred, a terrific scene. Great pacing, high level of excitement.

So buy it. It is really awesomely COOL, dudes!

Summary: Best Movie of 1999
Review: Hands down, this was the best sf film of 1999. Even the presence of the artless Keanu Reeves works - there are few actors who could more genuinely express Neo's confusion and sense of being out-of-place than Reeves (perhaps b/c he isn't acting). The superb Agent Smith should have been a shoe-in for a Supporting Actor nomination - and doubtless would have been had this not been an sf film. Possessing a truly original plot and splendid visuals, this film was one of the few must-see films of the year - and one of only two I gladly paid theater prices to see multiple times on the big screen.

This widescreen release on video more than does justice to the big screen experience - though it will likely make anyone with a less than wall-sized TV think seriously of upgrading. Those with DVD players will doubtless only consider purchasing this movie in that format - and rightly so - but if you're stuck, as I am, with only a VCR, get this widescreen version! Being driven as it is by its visuals and luscious special effects, you don't want the inevitable losses that come with conversion to pan-and-scan, no matter what size your TV screen is.

To sum up, this is a great film and the conversion to video is terrific. Buy!

Rating: 5 stars
