Rating: Summary: Not as good as expected. Review: This movie was saved by the special effects. The theories presented will appeal to the internet conspiracy junkie. Dead spots, the mad max underworld, dandling storyline left me flat. Predictable plot. What was with the old lady? Without the special effects this would have never been released.
Rating: Summary: More than a shoot-em-up movie if you have a brain. Review: This is the type of movie that really makes you think about what's real & what's all in your head. There is violence, yes, but those that say it was made just for the violence obviously must not have been able to follow the plot. Very thought provoking & a GREAT movie. Saw it in the theater twice & already have it pre-ordered on DVD.
Rating: Summary: Best Movie Ever Made!!!!! Review: If you haven't seen this movie yet you're in for a wonderful surprise! Buy this DVD/VHS and watch it.....it will become your prized possession and you will watch it over and over again year after year. I'm amazed that human beings can actually pull off such a stunt as this and end up with such a wonderful vision so brilliantly laid out! I can't rave enough about this movie. I've been doing it ever since I saw it in the theater twice on the first two days it played here. It has made me recapture an old feeling I first had back in the sixties that something incredible,--ineffable,-- was going on with the human race during my lifetime(!!), and it's thoroughly refreshing. I wish I could personally thank every last person who worked on this picture. Everyone who knows me is getting this movie for Xmas this year, for starters.
Rating: Summary: The best, the best, the best, the best Review: So good, it's really freaky. This movie really plays on your mind and lingers for a very long time. Watch it.

MATRIX __ M@TR|X __ [M][@][T][R][|][X] IS MOVIE IS THE MOVIE OF XXI CENTURY...
Rating: Summary: It blows your head up! Review: I was always convinced that no movie could make me feel "inside" it but this one made trick! i went to see it four times and the DVD version has to be mine!
Rating: Summary: The only DVD I will actually purchased to demo the sound! Review: This movie is the best action movie I have ever seen. The plot is very interesting, and could sustain the film without the action, but wow, the action!! Scenes from the movie will be etched into your mind. My second favorite action sequences are in the movie "Heat" with Al Pacino and Robert Dinero. If you liked that, you will love Matrix. Turn up the volume and brace yourself for an adrenaline rush like never before!
Rating: Summary: This could have been a good movie, but. Review: Me and my three sisters went to see this movie on labor day and the only thing good about it was the special effects. It could have been good were it not for that thing about using the telephone booth to go back to their home base. What was that all about? It threw the whole thing off and made it seem ridiculous. I did like Kenau in it, however.
Rating: Summary: technically wonderful, psychologically thrilling Review: This movie is surely going to be heralded as the Blade Runner of the 90's. The technology brought to the f/x only added to the overall effect of the film without overwhelming it(unlike certain other films that shall remain nameless). An added bonus is the HBO special making of the film. GET IT. (I got it and I don't even own a DVD player yet)
Rating: Summary: The Matrix did for the '90s what Star Wars did for the '70s Review: When movie historians look back on "The Matrix," it will rightfully take its place alongside ground-breaking science fiction juggernauts like Star Wars, 2001 and Planet of the Apes. "The Matrix" redefined action movie cinemaphotography and sound, setting new standards by which all others will be judged. Many will copy "The Matrix," but it will never be duplicated. The cast is compelling, the direction revolutionary and the story thought-provoking and refreshingly free off cliches. Musically, the movie is just as dynamic, producing an original score and soundtrack that blend perfectly with the visual aspects of the film. Somehow, this movie becomes more intriguing each time you watch it. Reeves was tailor-made for the part and Fishburne is wonderfully understated. Moss is beautiful and, well, a bit nasty. There's only one problem ... where do you go from here? Mind-blowing! Simply mind-blowing!
