Rating: Summary: This is great allegory Review: The Matrix is a great sci-fi film because of the allegory involved. The human race is under a spell and must be woken up. Because reality is too hard to face we have to numb our pain with illusion. This virtual reality scenario is already becoming a reality technologically, with internet addicts in addition to TV addicts. We are living vicariously through all this media, and the ultimate end would be The Matrix. The rebels among us must stop this from coming to pass. This type of film marks a new wave of Sci-fi, and it's rare in that it's a major film that provokes thought, rather then telling you what to think.
Rating: Summary: incredible action sequences! Review: Every time I watch the DVD of the matrix i get that feeling of adrenaline. I'm in tenth grade and each tim Neo blows away a guard I imagine it's football player or my stupid physics teacher. This movie rocks the action genre like no other!
Rating: Summary: Great Film, even better DVD, the extras are worth it alone! Review: I loved the movie I thought it had a great plot and awsome effects,the acting was good and the fights were great i love the old Kung-Fu style they used, and from the extras on the cd you could tell they had to do quite a bit of training for that stuff, all in all its a wonderfull 2 hour movie and has very informative and educateing bonus features.
Rating: Summary: Thought it was one of the best movies I've seen all year, Review: special effects were terriffic,.. I have only seen this movie one time, but I can't wait to see it again. Its a movie that the more you see it the more you will understand it. I really thought it was GREAT
Rating: Summary: The Best New Sci-Fi Flik in a long time Review: THE MATRIX HAS YOU... and boy is it grea
Rating: Summary: derivative Review: This would have been a great movie if I hadn't already seen it before. What I mean is that all the key elements were borrowed from other films, to wit:They Live - alternate reality imposed by evil non-humans Terminator 2 - war of humans vs. artificial intelligence Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Thing, etc. - use humans for raw material Little Buddha - Keanu Reeves is the chosen one Take all those and squish them together, and you have The Matrix. Nice special effects, though.
Rating: Summary: the best dvd yet Review: absolutely jaw-dropping extras. a very cool movie that looks and sounds great, plus cool extras. what a great dvd. (and a decent price.)
Rating: Summary: The best movie I ever saw, the only flaw is the acting(okay) Review: This movie is the best movie i ever saw the only flaw is the acting. The acting is okay but not perfect. The special effects are great, no better than great, supereffic.
Rating: Summary: very poor dvd quality Review: even if the movie was fun watching, the digital transfer on dvd was very poor. the flesh tones were very yellow even after calibrating the tv with video essentials dvd.
Rating: Summary: Great sci-fi film, great special effects... almost perfect Review: A film that keeps your heart beating. If you are a guy your heart beats for Trinity... if you are a girl, your heart beats for Neo.... if you are a regular viewer, your heart beats for all of them. This film introduces a new type of special effects and they sure give you an adrenalin bust.
