Summary: Amazing movie, It Rocks!!!
Review: The Matrix was one of the best movies I have ever seen. This movie was just plain fun, it grabs hold of you and doesn't let go. When the movie ends you will be surprised at how good it is. The amount of immersion that this movie brings is unbelievable, I never once looked at my watch. (I have noticed that the overwhelming majority of reviewers enjoyed this movie with a few detractors, maybe this movie was a little deep for some. (Who knows?)) It has been awhile since I have had as much fun watching a movie. The story itself was alot deeper than most action/sci-fi movies ever strive for. What an incredible concept, this movie challenges each veiwer to question what reality is. What is the Matrix? The best Sci-Fi Movie of the Year. It is a must buy on DVD and one I will pre-order right now.

Summary: An Awesome Flick, It is Worth it to see.
Review: The Matrix was the best movie I saw. The beganning was a bit sluggish, but as the movie went on, I understood the plot. You need to see it the 2nd time, to Really Understand what the main plot is. The movie contain alot of action, with a tiny bit of drama, but not much. The special effects was great. I am not going to give you all the plots and stuff, but it is worth the money to get.

Summary: Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!
Review: The Matrix was the best sci-fi movie that I have seen in years. The plot of the story was magnificent. It gave the audience something to think about. Is reality, reality? The special effects in the movie complimented the plot nicely. The fight scenes left me wide eyed with wonder at what computers can do to make things look real. For anyone who is a fantasty fan this film is a real winner. It may even convert some strict realist.

Summary: A Stunning Visual Spectacle
Review: The Matrix was the most popular R-rated film when it came out in the theaters, and it has reason to be so. Obviously the most stand-out feature of this film is the special effects, which are flaunted from stem to stern. Awesome jumps over highways, lengthy shoot-outs in pillared rooms, and martial arts combat with a sentient program, this film has it all.
Keanu Reeves as Thomas A. Anderson AKA Neo is in his element in this film, and he comes off very well with his sunglasses and ankle-length leather jacket concealing a veritable arsenal of rapid-fire weaponry. Carrie-Ann Moss as Trinity gives a good screen presence, and pulls off a tough-tender mix in her character--there is a vast difference between her ferocious karate chops at the beginning of the film and her loving words to Neo close to the end. Laurence Fishburne is very good as Morpheus, even though he is in manacles for a good part of the film.
Then there is Hugo Weaving. This masterful actor can convulse the audience with his drawn-out speech and delliberate movements, or he can have them pitying and encouraging Neo as he hurls the good guy into walls and pummels him with super fast fists.
The Wachowski brothers, the directors and writers of the film, handle it well with good camera angles and a fine screenplay.
For those searching for thrills and a heavy slant toward visual effects, this is a good movie to look into.

Review: The Matrix was unbelievable. The special effects were great, The acting was incredible.I question why hollywood had not discovered Carrie Anne Moss ( who played trinity ) long ago. She is an extremely talented actress. Keanu Reeves was actually great in this film. And we can't forget Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus. I usually don't go for this kind of movie. But it had alot of spiritual messages behind this film. My hat is off to the Wachowski Brothers who directed the film.

Summary: For this movie, what can I say but...WOW!
Review: The Matrix was, in my opinion, THE movie to see of the year. Forget Episode One: The Phantom Menace; The Matrix blew it out of the water! With it's amazing visual effects, gripping plot and storyline, and wonderful acting, it was a movie that kept me on the edge of my seat, and had me walking out of the theater wondering, "What -is- the Matrix, and is this possible?" This movie is definately a must-see for ANYONE!

Summary: Great effects, average film
Review: The Matrix was, yes, a landmark in special effects the way tat Star Wars was. The plot, the script, and the acting is very forgettable. The cinemotograpy and editing are top-notch. Part of the problem, I guess, is that all of the famous taglines or scenes have been parodied to death in other films. Yes, I am still looking foreward to 'reloaded (check out my review on that). Some of the best scenes in the Matrix include the pills, waiting room, free your mind (roof), kung fu, and the office...

Summary: What is The Matrix?
Review: The Matrix will go down in film history books as "The film that changed cinema forever". True, films have done that before: (Jaws, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Pulp Fiction et al) but the Matrix is different in that not only did it change audience's expectations of action cinema but also impacted on countless movies to date. The film itself is the epitome of cool that stands out from the slew of unimaginative science fiction that Hollywood reels out, and with Keanu Reeves and Carrie Anne Moss making an unlikely duo in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by artificially intelligent machines, the film finds itself worlds away from admittedly second-rate sci fi cinema. You could argue, as some critics did, that the film's plot is simply an excuse to hang cool effects on, but the premise slowly shapes into such an intricate plot, where machines have taken over the world (a popular idea for sci fi films, with this having similarities to Terminator 2) and then the small amount of snotty critics are silenced. What the Wachowski brothers have done is so imaginative that no film has ever come close to its intricacies and futuristic ideas. Add hints and nudges from Vertigo, classic Western films and Kung-fu karate films into the story and the amazing journey is made even more fascinating and involving. The visuals incorporated throughout the story are absolutely amazing; with the "flow-mo" being the coolest visual effect those effects boffins have done since that water tentacle flowed through air in The Abyss. Imitated to death, the scene where Keanu's character Neo dodges bullets is nonetheless the pinnacle of uber-coolness. With thought provoking, mind-bending lines like: "It's the smell, if there is such a thing"; the film's script is peppered with fascinating lines concerning the very nature of "what is real?" Hence the clever advertising campaign for the movie's release: "Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is, you have to see it for yourself". The Matrix has indeed changed cinema. Regardless, it's a great film, loaded to the retinas with out- of- this-world effects, great villians (Agent Smith!), great action set-pieces and awesome stunts from martial arts expert Wu Ping. And with the DVD (awesome stuff, everyone has to own this disc) and upcoming sequel in progress- The Matrix Reloaded, the Matrix is a film that not only has affected filmgoers everywhere, but has also leaked into the fan boy culture of the movie world. To quote Neo: "Whoa".
