Summary: Something for everyone
Review: This movie might be my favorite of all time. SFX, spiritual biblical parallels, Sci-fi, Action, love. I have not met anyone who has not thought it was outstanding.

Spiritual parallels=

The Matrix= The world and it's slavery to sin Morpheus= John the baptist Neo (the one)= The one messiah (The Lord Jesus Christ) Zion= The body of Christ? Isreal? Heaven?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: See It Twice
Review: This movie must be seen twice in order to be fully appreciated. The first viewing should be spent enjoying it for its eye-popping special effects, for its outrageous action, for its killer industrial soundtrack, and for the pleasure of watching Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss run around looking fabulous.

The second viewing should be spent contemplating the questions The Matrix raises about our perception of reality. It's hard to believe that such a slick, glossy production starring Keanu Reeves conveys such deep, mind-boggling concepts, but it does.

The directing Wachowski brothers (the guys responsible for the wonderfully outrageous Bound), have been influenced heavily by other filmmakers, authors and artists, and they don't try to hide it in the least. However, rather than a blatant rip-off, this plays more like a reverent homage.

Laurence Fishburne projects a powerful presence as the wise Morpheus, although it often seems that he employed William Shatner as his dialogue coach. Keanu Reeves is in his element. The Matrix maximizes his strengths (his ability to look completely dumbfounded and his unique physicality) and minimizes his weaknesses (just about everything else). The role of Neo is tailor-made for him. The real standout in the cast, however, is Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity. She is a real find, and while she is stunning in a shiny black cat suit, her purpose in this film is not simply ornamental. She is responsible for at least half of this movie's excitement, and she gives it its emotional heart.

The Matrix is two movies in one. One is a truly awesome action movie, and the other is a deep meditation on the nature of reality. It can be enjoyed equally on both levels, but maybe not on first viewing. See it at least twice.

Stay tuned after the credits for 4 behind-the-scenes vignettes, one of which shows Reeves, in full wicked-bad regalia, perform a hilarious, unintentional pratfall.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Life or a Dream?
Review: This movie really hit home to me. I am always searching for the truth in life. Is there anything more important to any of us than trying to find out who we are and why we are here at this time and place. It is always in the back of our minds. We try to escape it for a while by doing mundane (but we think they are important) tasks. We may not all be super-heroes. But this movie helps in an essence for us to live out the fantasy and find the "truth". I saw this movie first in the theatre, bought the VHS & when the VCR ate my tape-I went to DVD.When I left the theatre for weeks I had to ponder the meanings. There are so many levels to this movie I had to wonder if my life was a dream. I'm sure Buddha would have thought the same. (I'm not Buddhist) I have seen plenty of psuedo references to other religions in this movie. Wide range!!!And I must say this is one of the best! I was a little hesitant after Johnny Mnemonic (but I think that was more of the fault of the budget running low before the end, didn't get it all as it was intended). This was NOTHING like it! THIS WAS A MUST HAVE FOR ME AND I HAVE SEEN IT MORE THAN 30X's!!! The DVD has some great extra features!! And even more so if you have a DVD Rom, but if you don't have the DVD-ROM yet it is definetly worth the cost. You will get a lot of use out of it! I have a VCR and a DVD and believe me, if you have a DVD you won't want to risk the tape being eaten!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Review: This movie really keeps you involved with trying to figure it out. If you watch it once you have probably missed a lot and need to watch it again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awsome Movie
Review: This movie really makes you think twice about "the real world". Really cool movie if you liked the movie "Hackers".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good movie
Review: This movie really set the standard for special effects. There were a lot of movies that followed such as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and many others that utilized the same technology. I'm sure I'll see the next Matrix movie that comes out, despite the fact that Keanu "Ted" Reeves is in it. Was someone joking when they told him he should be an actor? I've seen better actors in 3rd grade Christmas plays.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: By far the best film I have seen.
Review: This movie really sheds a new angle on life. It is twisted (twisted is good) and the special effects are mind boggling. It was very well thought out, and acted, and made me think about life in a whole new light. I can't praise it enough.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is......PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This movie really, Really, ROCKED!!!!!! This one is WAY better
than the sequels. This was Keanu Reeves best movie sence "Speed".
If you like Sci-fi movies,Kung-fu movie, or a movie with good acting then you should get this. It's is perfect wich is something you rarely see.There no DVD fetures but you won't care becouse the movie is so good.Not as good as Animatrix, Akira or Spawn but it's still perfect. If you liked any of the movies I sayed earlyer you'll love this.
