Summary: GETS 4-STARS ON SPECIAL EFFECTS ALONE !

Rating: 5 stars
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!

Summary: This movie is all around us
Review: "It would appear, Mr Anderson, that you have been leading two lives.... One of these lives has a future; the other does not".

These chilling words introduce us, and a freshly black-belted Keanu Reaves, to Agent Smith. And let's be honest, who among us does not know a superior at work or school who is, perhaps, a little like Agent Smith?

The Wachowski brothers have not merely created a superlative special-effects kung fu homage movie. They have redefined the scope of the action picture to encompass thought-provoking pop philosophy. Read the quotes and trivia for a taste of this (and check the IMDb link below for more). They combine brilliant technical innovation (bullet time, so well captured on DVD) with a spooky science fiction premise that, frankly, makes you stop and think. Maybe the little boy bending the spoon is right....

Watch it again and decide for yourself. It gets better every time.

Summary: Star Wars Blows it Away!
Review: The Matrix is one of the worst films in a long time. The dry, lifeless plot matches the dry, lifeless characters. Don't waste your time on this film. It's one of the most irrelevent ,pointless movies ever made. Instead people should turn to any of the 4 Star Wars films , the true Sci-fi epic the Matrix will never be.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: brilliant film
Review: The Matrix has to be one of the best films that i ahve seen in a long time, the storyline realy gets you thinking quite alot on whether we realy are in the real world or is everything around us not real?. Anyway for a film staring Keanu Reeves who i usualy dont think is very good i think he does star in this film realy well. If you like the good old sci fi films i think this has to be the film for 99.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not enough stars in the sky (to rate this movie)

Summary: The Matrix is whatever you want it to be
Review: The Matrix was hailed as the best action thriller of the year, and I have to say I have never seen fight scenes like them, the only film that comes anywhere close is the excellent Blade. A brilliant script, fantastic performances from the cast, and a good directing job have combined to make this film highly watchable to anybody. However the categorisation of sci-fi action thriller is often met with cries of 'Oh no I won't like that' or 'It's really not what I like to watch', but trust in me even if this is not the kind of film you would normally watch it is well worth a look in, and that much it certainly deserves. Keanu Reeves is on top form as Neo, the main character, expelling rumours of his sawdust like brain, wooden acting talent, and general stupidity. This is him at his best and he is as good as any big name I've seen recently. Laurence Fishburne plays the arcane and sinister Morpheus to a tee, his riddles will drive you insane after a while, but that is part of the film, and watching how the riddles solve themselves is highly enthralling. Carrie-Ann Moss is good in her supporting role as Trinity, but in my opinion it's Hugo Weaver as Smith, the patronising agent who steals the show, he is the character you love to hate, but you can't help but like his character, he's so devious. The Matrix is a brilliant film, it's plot however is highly complicated, and it helps to have someone to explain it to you, or at least watch it twice. You may be tempted to give up due to the complexity of it all but be patient and trust me this film is more than worth perservering with, and even if you don't like it, just give it a try. Enjoy viewing.

Summary: The Best New Age Of The World Of Science Fiction.
Review: The Wachowski Brothers doing a great job writting and directing this film. Visual Effects is superb, Keanu Reeves does impressive job in this film and his moves also, the same for Laurence Fishburne, Carrie Anne Moss and Hugo weaving. The Plot is new and it something never have in film history and it the best new thing on visual effects also since Terminator 2 and The Abyss. It also a new old Science Fiction Theme, it will always be remember.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: 5 Stars - You've got to be kidding!
Review: The only reason I gave it 1 star was because 0 was not an option. I love SciFi as long as there is at least an element of believability in it, but The Matrix had a lousy plot, no semblance of reality or possibility, and completely boring. One would have to be totally wasted to enjoy this movie. The highlight of the movie was the credits signifying the end of this sorry movie. Don't waste your time!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Seeing Is Believing
Review: The Matrix, my favorite movie of all time I might add, is a phenomenal film. It's a work of art. The special effects are out of this world, the story unfolds extremely well, the plot is the most innovative one ever, the script is just plain amazing, and the cinematography is superb. In short, The Matrix blows away every other movie this decade. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

I shouldn't have to discuss the plot, because by now just about everyone knows it. I will say that this plot is so amazing and so innovative, and it really makes you sit down and think. I think it's a fact, not an opinion, that the plot is the most innovative one ever written. I can't stress enough how good it is. The acting is well done as well, and the script, unfolding of the story, and special effects are all top of the crop too. I can't list all the good things I have to say about The Matrix here. I have seen this movie over and over again without growing tired of it. It has set the standard for every movie that follows it. All I can do now is give my whole hearted recommendation. If you don't own it yet, buy it now. It should be a sin not to own The Matrix.
