Rating: Summary: revolutionary Review: This film has to be one of the all-time great. The Wachowshi Brothers sure did some experimenting throughout the film and it paid off big time. Carrie-Anne Moss was gorgeous as Reeves' romantic love interest whilst Fishburne's Morpheous was just excellent, even haunting at times, when he floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee with his outrageous one liners.Reeves, however, I feel, has redeemed himself. After the disaster of Johnny Nemonic, he has realised that this was one film he had to give a performance of his career. Roll on The Matrix!! Bring on the sequel!!
Rating: Summary: Best Sci Movie I've Seen in Years Review: Saw it three times in the theatre - something I've never done before
Rating: Summary: Simply the best film I've ever seen Review: I just wanted ot add to the reams of people who feel as I do that it is an amazing film. It was a refreshing change to standard action movies, it has something new and I think many films will seek to copy it's style in the years to come. If you've not seen it, then stop reading this, click on the BUY button and don't even leae your house until it arrives and you can watch it
Rating: Summary: Great story, fine acting, excellent cinematography. Review: I thought this was an excellent movie for pure entertainment reasons. If you are looking for an epic story with great dialog and social drama, this isn't the one. But for great science fiction escapism, The Matrix can't be beat. I have a feeling some of the reviewers of this movie giving low ratings didn't quite grasp the concept of the storyline. I'm truly looking forward to more from the Wachowski brothers.
Rating: Summary: Is this just perception of a good film, or reality? Review: The Matrix turned out to meet most of my expectations after hearing so much from friends about this film. Special effects were fantastic. Acting was pretty good as well, even for some "unheard of" actors in the suppoting roles. Reeves and Fishbourne were on par, although I wanted to see more action out of Fishbourne. On the whole, the movie will not sit well with folks who cannot let their minds wander into the complex realm of sci-fi. If you do not want to slip into this format of entertainment for even a few minutes, let alone the whole two hours, don't even hit the play button. For those of us who appreciate the genre, The Matrix has a creative premise supported by well known sci-fi elements and gimmicks (i.e. AI vs. humans, high-tech hackers taking on the world, icky buglike robots, etc.) Packing the film with action (guns and kung-fu) was merely icing on the cake. The entertainment of this movie comes from the intriguing and deep thought involved in the story.
Rating: Summary: Not Just For Guys and Sci-Fi'ers Review: Great Special FX! and I don't like science fiction all that much either. But The Matrix hit the spot. The little romance at the end didn't quite fit in but all in all, it was a fab movie. This movie evokes thought as well as entertains.
Rating: Summary: My first DVD for my new Mac Powerbook G3, awesome! Review: I didn't catch this movie in the theater, but bought it as my first DVD for my new Macintosh G3 Powerbook. (hold down command+option+i when loading the disk!). The options in this DVD make it something more than just another movie playing from a disk; it's a multimedia experience. People on the airplane where I was watching it were amazed. And I'm not even a sci-fi fan....
Rating: Summary: the best movie in the world Review: This movie kept me on the edge of my seat all the time it has great special effects and it has a ton of fighting sceenes.
Rating: Summary: a fatty-boom-batty blunt Review: This movie is great...It's not often that you get a high- action futuristic thriller mixed with some music video like computer work...It's fantastic; good story line, great special effects, and a 5 star movie
Rating: Summary: Totally shocking... Just amazing. Review: The Matrix was excellent. Everything about it was so sci-fi, and it all fit the main theme perfectly. Just when you thought the movie was getting boring, (which may have been once) suddenly everything went on edge. The effects in the movie were some of the best i've seen, and just the concept alone was mind-boggling. If you watch this movie, and you hate it, you have absolutely no taste for a good sci-fi movie! I would give this movie a 6th star, except they don't allow it... =)
