Summary: The Best Action Movie of 1999!
Review: Totally cool and awesome! Great action and the best fight sequences outside of Hong-Kong! Came out of the theatre with the same feeling as everybody else - "WOW!". Just don't get too deep into the story, enjoy it for what it is. If you get the DVD, think of it as a good excuse to get that projector and surround sound system! ;-)

Summary: come on guys, just enjoy this fabulous film
Review: True, this movie DID emulate some antecedent sci-fi, action, thriller filcks and all, but the film we saw (and repetitiously enjoy, hopefully) is still undeniably a peice of delicious eye-candy is it not? Yes, there were sporadic incidents which the W-bros used techniques that were seen in other movies (i.e. the scene when Neo touched the broken glass and became something remeniscient of the liquid-metel T-1000 in T-2. i.e. #2, in the showdown between Neo and Agent Smith in the subway where they both exhaust their clips and acknowlege it at an identical moment, which showcased the highlight from the opening Face/off gunfight between two flamboyant actors...), but so what? This doesn't take any pleasure away from the viewer and it pays tributes to 2 of the most explosive action films ever made, what is condemnable about that? For you critical movie-goers out there, just consider all the inferior films in which you busted a communsurate 8 bucks to watch, and for you extremely critical reviewers who diss this movie just because its a genuine crowd pleaser and HAS an abundance of SE's, I advise you to write a critical essay on some other sci-fi action wanna-be that's really worth your effort (i.e. Battlefield Earth, The Avengers, etc.). The Matrix definitely earned itself a place in this over-apreciated genre by smoothly combining thought-provoking elements from others. By the way, for those of you that like The Matrix will surely appreciate Pitch Black as well. Thx for reading this!

Summary: One of the best sci-fi movies ever
Review: Truely makes you think about what is around you, and what you are. It pushes your thought processes to the next level.

Summary: mind-boggling/mind-blowing plot & special effects- THE ONE!
Review: Truly a sci-fi CLASSIC that made the 90's richer in terms of what it means to the internet generation. It unravels a plot that caters to the virtual illusions of cyberspace and the unreality of a real world "as we know it". Lets all TAKE THE RED PILL and indulge ourselves, again and again, in this ONCE IN A LIFETIME escapist ride

Rating:
Summary: An imaginative, mindblowing SF achievement
Review: Truly one of the best films ever conceived on the desktop. Storyline, special effects, even Keanu's acting are superb. Thought provoking on many levels, not your normal shoot 'em up, predictable action bore.

Summary: Good, but if you want to read the book,
Review: try Berkeley, descartes, Hume, the bible(that's just the beginning). I'm not saying i agree with all those philsophers. i'm jsut saying thats where wachowski's got the ideas abotu reality. I wonder if the matrix had philosphers conjecturing about reality. I wonder if there was a matrix like movie in the matrix. I guess we'll never know the answer to these and other questions...

Summary: Lousy plot? Bad acting? maybe. but this movie STILL ROCKS!
Review: Turn off your brain, grab a big bowl of popcorn and prepare to get blown away, baby! Pay no mind to the pseudo-intellectuals that try to pump up their own lacking self esteem by ripping something that was successful. If I wanted to use my brain, I will read a novel. If I want to unwind and relax, I will watch an action movie that doesn't require me to rack my brain over the meaning of life (42). Who cares if the whole plot is based on human duracell(tm) batteries? It is a fun movie to watch - a lot of fun. I for one am chomping at the bit to watch this DVD on my widescreen TV and surround system.

Summary: Best Sci-fiction I have seen
Review: Unbelieveable at first, even don't know what's talking about, but as the movie goes on, everything becomes so possible that I even start to wondering if I am in the Matrix. Very breathtaking.

Summary: One of the best movies this year, great plot and story line!
Review: Unbelieveably with all the reviews that I have read about "The Matrix" some people just don't understand what the MATRIX is or they don't want to understand. Let the record state that no matter what people say about the movie, it is still number 1! So long as the directors don't come out with the sequel(only if it is as good as the first)!
