Summary: Sci-Fi Action Thriller, Does it get any Better?
Review: This movie has my unqualified recommendation. It has some of the best action, stunts, and visuals I have ever seen. The story is good also. It has good acting by Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne's parts. What is The Matrix? Well, the people who live, in their day in and day-out world, believe it is real. But it isn't real, it is just a mere software program, to shield our eyes from the truth. That software program that we believe is real, is called The Matrix. What is the truth? Well, sometime in the early 21st century, mankind celebrated over their marvel, their creation. AI: Artificial Intelligence. A singular consciousness that spawned a whole new race, of machines. They don't know who struck first, people or the machines. But it was us who blackened the sky, because we believed that without an energy source as abundent as the sun, they would die. The human body generates more bioelectricity than a 120 volt battery, combined with a source of fusion, the machines had found all the energy source they would ever need. So, the machines created fields of endless fields, where humans are no longer "born", we are grown. The machines created a "program" to control the people inside The Matrix. They can do things that seems impossible, like dodge bullets and other things. These "programs" are called Agents. Anyone who has fought an Agent, has died. When The Matrix was first built, there was a man born inside it, who had the ability change whatever he wanted, to remake The Matrix as he so fit. He was the one who set the first humans free to the real world. That man died, but an oracle said that he would return, to free humans from The Matrix, because as long as it exists, humans will never be free. So, Morpheus found Neo, who Morphues believes is "The One". But is he? An action movie at its best, that has stuning action scenes that no one can out do, except for maybe The Matrix Reloaded, the sequel. So go out and rent this movie, for you will not regret it.

Summary: Nice movie. - A short reality excursion -
Review: This movie has similarities to Terminator, and Terminator 2, where in the future machines have become self-sufficient, and then when their creaters try to pull the plug, the machines stay alive and enslave the human race. The Terminator differs in that the machine (Sky-net), created a nuclear was between Russia and America when their creators tried to pull the plug. This war killed off humans, allowing the machines to stay on, and using surviving humans in the nuclear winter as slaves. A resistance was in effect to free the human slaves from the machine, where the leader, this time, was in the past. The Matrix, on the other hand, having a similar theme to this movie, the humans, I would assume, create a nuclear explosion to create a nuclear winter to block out the sunlight of the machines, as they adapted to solar power. In this respect, Matrix and Terminator are similar, except in Matrix, the human inventors create an explosion to block sun-light, the energy source of the machines, while in Terminator, the machine creates an explosion.I think Lawrence Fishborne's acting was cool, as in the Event Horizon. The character-plot was cool. There is another movie similar to this that was made a decade ago, that involved people's minds being placed into a machine for different realities, this time in the context of a psychristic hospital for treatment, I forgot the name of that movie. I do not like the Eastern Religious content in the movie, the scene from the Oracle, I thought was too indoctrinating and should of been shorter, too much time in the movie was on that. Secondly, I do not like the use of God's name in the movie. Two stars deducted on that. Three stars, for originality, action, acting, and I had a really great time watching the movie and felt refreshed afterwards, like I travelled somewhere. No movie I watched gave such an effect, except for mabye Star Wars, to that extent. A reality vacation.

Summary: The most intellegent sci fi movie since Blade Runner
Review: This movie has to be one of the most thoughful movies made in the last ten years. The writing has incredible nuance. The acting is excellent. The attention to detail is a pleasure to watch. Having studied philosophy, I can tell you that this movie is what Descarte was talking about when he said that he could just be a brain in a vat and the evil genius is just imputing impulses into his brain. The final realization reminds me of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. If you are not familiar with the major themes of modern philosophy, this movie is just a sci-fi action film. If you know the issues underlying the story, you see that this movie deftly delivers on multiple levels.

Summary: best of the 90's
Review: this movie in my OPINION was 1 of the best of the 90's. With the techno revolution that is happening anything is possible. I am not a keanu Reeves fan....actually far from it, he actually pushed me from seeing the movie but not even he could ruin it for me. Bottom line/ get it see it again and again
